The Tinnitus Management Clinic: The Cleveland Clinic Model

Abstract

Tinnitus is distressing and affects the quality of life for many patients. Yet, responses to tinnitus vary. To meet the individual needs of our patients, we developed a service delivery model that served several purposes: (1) to provide a time- and cost-effective program utilizing a care path, group delivery model, and the use of an interprofessional team approach; and (2) to offer quality, best-practice care to meet the needs of those individuals distressed by tinnitus. This article describes the Cleveland Clinic Tinnitus Management Clinic utilized, for more than 20 years, to provide care to patients with tinnitus.
