A former ATA board member, Dr. Linn is an ex officio on a number of practice documents, including Cochlear Implants, Auditory Integration Training and The Audiologist Role in Occupational Hearing Conservation, and Hearing Loss Prevention Programs.

Topic: Dr. Linn will speak to our group about how an Audiologist goes about evaluating the tinnitus/hyperacusis patient’s symptoms and condition overall, and how that impacts treatment recommendations.
