Audiologist to present at Tinnitus Support Group meeting
Tinnitus Support Group of Northeast Pennsylvania will meet Friday, Jan. 2, at 2 p.m. at the Wright Center for Community Health Mid Valley, 5 S. Washington Ave., Jermyn.
At the January meeting, Dr. Erin Walborn-Sterantino, a licensed audiologist with nearly 30 years of clinical experience, specializing in the care of individuals living with tinnitus, will explore how the brain processes sound and stress, offering insight into the neural and emotional pathways that influence why tinnitus affects people differently.
In addition to her tinnitus expertise, Walborn-Sterantino is a highly trained audiologist equipped to address a wide range of hearing loss and communication concerns.
Attendees will also learn about a range of evidence-based treatment options, including sound therapy, cognitive and mindfulness-based approaches, and Lenire, the first FDA-approved bimodal neuromodulation device for tinnitus.
The support group welcomes individuals living with tinnitus, their loved ones and anyone interested in learning more about this complex audiological and neurological condition. Virtual meeting options are available for those unable to attend in person.
For more information or to obtain the virtual meeting link, contact Nicole Flynn, director of the geriatrics service line at the Wright Center for Community Health, at flynnn@TheWrightCenter.org or 570-230-0019.
