Ryan McCreery, MS (Boys Town National Research Hospital), Doody's Review Service, (2010): "The clinical forms, questionnaires, and resources in the appendixes make this program easy to implement for busy clinicians who do not wish to develop their own tools. The DVD and CD include video and presentations that can be used directly with tinnitus patients."
