Training Courses
We are pleased to announce the next online Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) course for management of tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia for professionals treating patients with tinnitus and / or decreased sound tolerance. We plan it to be the last TRT course offered by us.
The course, organized by Jastreboff Hearing Disorders Foundation, Inc., takes 5 days divided into two blocks: Dec 5 – 6, 2024 (Thursday – Friday), two days weekend break and continuing on Dec 9 – 11 (Monday – Wednesday). Classes will start every day at 9:30 am EDT (New York time) and end at 5:30 or 6:30 pm (with two 10 min coffee breaks and 30 min for lunch). The course consists of lectures, demonstrations and practical exercises. The course has been approved by AAA for 4.0 CEUs and by Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC) for 40 hrs. of credit.
In the past we offered a basic 3 days TRT course focused on treatment of tinnitus and 2 days course focused on Decreased Sound Tolerance (DST) (hyperacusis and misophonia). In 2020, due to the situation with COVID, we switched to online format (via Zoom). Following comments from participants we combined these two courses into one, 5 days course, while presenting all materials offered previously during individual courses (but avoiding repetitions and offering more time for interaction).
While this course provides enough theoretical and practical information to implement full TRT, it is useful as well for people who want to implement a habituation-based therapy to help tinnitus and DST patients, even without strictly following TRT. No previous experience in treating tinnitus and DST patients is required.
If you are interested in attending the course, please send email to Drs Margaret & Pawel Jastreboff (JHDF2008@gmail.com) and we will send you the registration form and more specific information about the course. It is our goal to preserve as much as possible the interactive, in person course so the number of participants is limited to facilitate interaction.
Additionally to this course, we will teach in one face-to-face course organized by Mini Gupta minig@allearshearing.com.au (direct link to course page https://www.eventcreate.com/e/trt2025) in Melbourne, Australia, Feb 3 – 7, 2025. If you are interested in Melbourn course, please contact Ms. Gupta directly.
