Today at the Academy of Doctors of Audiology National Conference in Minneapolis, Nicole Carreon, LMFT, and Dr. Bethany Wenger had the opportunity to present on the significant benefits of collaboration between audiology and behavioral health in supporting individuals with tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia.

Through several case studies, they explored how an integrated, multidisciplinary approach can provide more comprehensive care and improve outcomes for clients. They also highlighted multiple cases demonstrating the benefits of incorporating Havening Techniques to support emotional regulation, reduce distress, and help clients navigate the emotional and psychological challenges associated with sound sensitivities.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share this work and continue advocating for stronger collaboration between audiology and behavioral health professionals to better support those living with tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia!

Sometimes being stressed isn’t a sign that we’re not handling life well—it’s a sign that we’ve been carrying a lot for a LONG time. When everything feels like it needs our attention at once, even small things can feel overwhelming. We don’t always need to fix everything in that moment.
Sometimes we need to PAUSE, breathe, and give ourselves permission to simply be where we are.

When therapy begins to feel stagnant, Havening Techniques® can offer a gentle way to shift the nervous system, reduce the emotional intensity attached to an experience, and create space for new perspectives and possibilities.

Sometimes the next step in therapy isn’t more processing—it’s helping the brain and body feel safe enough to move.

Havening Techniques®. You don’t have to live in a constant state of tension, frustration, anger or sadness. Or constantly cycle up and down and up and down. You were not designed to always feel anxious or on edge. Calm your nervous system. For your health. For your relationships. For yourself.
