Outcome determination-update.
Abstract
Outcome determinations are critical for evaluation of any methods for Tinnitus Targeted Therapy recommended to the tinnitus patient for relief. Multiple parameters of identification will be reviewed for outcome determinations. This update will present the Client Oriented Scale of Impairment (COSI), which has been adapted for use with tinnitus patients. The COSI has revealed significant improvement and accuracy for understanding the response of the tinnitus patient to the question of efficacy of treatment.
