Summary
This multi-site study evaluated the implementation of Progressive Tinnitus Management (PTM), which combines both Audiology and Psychology approaches to Tinnitus Management. Those Veterans who require intervention for tinnitus have different levels of need, and this progressive approach gives them the appropriate level of intervention.
