项目摘要

The National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) will hold its 8th biennial conference titled “Translating Tinnitus Research Findings into Clinical Practice” from October 4th to 6th 2017, in Portland, OR. Tinnitus is a phantom perception of sound in the absence of external acoustic stimulation that cannot be measured objectively or cured. It is challenging to identify the neural mechanism(s) that result in the percept and differential diagnosis, quantification, and outcome measurement of tinnitus is complex. Approximately 1 in 10 adults in the USA experience tinnitus; it is a debilitating problem for about 20% of these individuals - resulting in insomnia, emotional, social, and workplace difficulties, and decreased quality of life. At this conference, the mechanism(s) underlying tinnitus and approaches to evidence-based treatment and patient- centered psychological and behavioral management will be discussed. There will be thirteen data-driven presentations by a mix of auditory scientists, computational and cognitive neuroscientists, audiologists, otolaryngologists and psychologists that will address: (1) the epidemiology of tinnitus; (2) neurophysiological models and neural correlates of tinnitus, and how this information can be used to develop interventions; (3) current challenges in developing a pharmacological “cure” for tinnitus; (4) the complexity of the tinnitus patient; and (5) the evidence behind using various approaches to treating tinnitus around the world. After each presentation there will be ample time for discussion, and there will a poster session and a closing panel discussion during which presenters, clinicians and scientists will discuss questions raised by the audience. This will tie together all concepts addressed over the prior two days. The conference organizing team is comprised of a Conference Chair, a Program Chair, and a Conference Coordinator. The audience will consist of auditory scientists, clinical audiologists, psychologists, physicians, and graduate students. The number of conference attendees will be limited to two hundred in order to create an intimate environment that will enhance open communication. It is typical for scientists to be involved in conferences of this type, but the number of students and clinicians that attend is often low. In order to remedy this we will facilitate attendance of both groups by offering at least ten scholarships to students and five to practicing clinicians, with at least three scholarships being awarded to minority applicants. The conference will be publicized though mass e-mailings and at upcoming professional meetings, announcements will be posted on the website of specialized tinnitus organizations, and will be published in audiological trade journals, and in bulletins from professional societies. Additionally, conference information will be posted on the NCRAR website. Conference content will be disseminated to non-attendees via a special issue of the journal American Journal of Audiology, and the conference PowerPoint presentations will be posted on the NCRAR website (with presenter permissions) for download by interested viewers.

国家康复研究中心（NCRAR）将举行第八届双年展会议从2017年10月4日至6日，俄勒冈州波特兰，“将耳鸣研究结果转化为临床实践”。耳鸣是在没有外部声学刺激的情况下对声音的一种幻影感知客观地测量或治愈。确定导致感知的神经机制是挑战耳鸣的差异诊断，定量和结果测量很复杂。大约1英寸美国的10名成人经历耳鸣；对于这些人中约有20％，这是一个令人衰弱的问题 - 导致失眠，情感，社交和工作场所困难以及改善生活质量。在这个会议，耳鸣的基本机制以及循证治疗和患者的方法将讨论中心的心理和行为管理。听觉科学家，计算和认知能力的组合将有13个数据驱动的演示神经科学家，听力学家，耳鼻喉科医生和心理学家将解决：（1）耳鸣; （2）耳鸣的神经生理模型和神经复合物，以及如何使用此信息制定干预措施；（3）为耳鸣开发药品“治愈”的当前挑战；（4）耳鸣患者的复杂性；（5）使用各种方法治疗耳鸣的证据世界各地。每次演讲之后，将有足够的讨论时间，并且会有一张海报会议和闭幕讨论，在此期间，临床医生和科学家将讨论问题由观众提出。这将在前两天将所有概念联系在一起。会议组织团队已完成会议主席，计划主席和会议协调员。试镜将包括听觉科学，临床听力学家，心理学家，医生，和研究生。会议参与者的数量将限制为两百，以创建一个私密的环境，可以增强开放式沟通。科学家典型地参与这种类型的会议，但是参加的学生和临床医生的数量通常很少。为了记住我们将通过向学生提供至少十项奖学金，并提供5个小组的参加执业临床医生，至少将三项奖学金授予少数民族申请人。会议将通过大规模电子邮件和即将举行的专业会议宣传，公告将发布在专业耳鸣组织的网站上，并将发布听力学贸易期刊和专业社会的Bulbellins。此外，会议信息将发布在Ncrar网站上。会议内容将通过特别的《美国听力学杂志》和会议PowerPoint演示文稿的问题将是发表在NCRAR网站（带有演示者权限）上，供有趣的观众下载。
