Wright Center’s Dr. Walborn-Sterantino Presenting at January Tinnitus Meeting The Tinnitus Support Group of Northeast Pennsylvania will meet on Friday, Jan. 2, at 2 p.m. at The Wright Center for Community Health Mid Valley, 5 S. Washington Ave., Jermyn. Virtual meeting options are available for those unable to attend in person. The support group welcomes individuals living with tinnitus, their loved ones, and anyone interested in learning more about this complex audiological and neurological condition. Participants will have the opportunity to connect, share their experiences, and explore coping strategies in a compassionate and supportive environment. At the January meeting, Dr. Erin Walborn-Sterantino, a licensed audiologist with nearly 30 years of clinical experience, certified in Tinnitus Management (CH–TM), will explore how the brain processes sound and stress, offering insight into the neural and emotional pathways that influence why tinnitus affects people differently. 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 session will highlight how these approaches can be personalized to support long-term habituation, reduce distress, and promote lasting relief. Recognizing that tinnitus affects people in deeply personal and varied ways — from mild annoyance to significant daily disruption — Dr. Walborn-Sterantino has dedicated her career to improving how patients are understood, supported, and treated. Her commitment extends beyond the clinic to national advocacy, professional education, and research advancement. She currently serves as secretary of the American Tinnitus Association, the nation’s only nonprofit dedicated exclusively to improving the lives of individuals affected by tinnitus and funding innovative research to advance treatments and possible cures.
