Attached here is a video we did recently, with me and David Stockdale of BTA, discussing tinnitus research across 2018. We were (belatedly) picking up on the TRI conference and on different things happening in research this year that grabbed our interest. This was unscripted so it's just a...

Being that I am at the TRI conference soon, I wondered what you would like to know from any researchers that I talk to (within reason of course). For example, it has been suggested that we can see how many of them actually have tinnitus themselves, is it more prevalent than the average?

A new paper published on the quality of experience of patients in the UK trying to access tinnitus services. It's open access so you can view the full paper here http://rdcu.be/GP0B It is UK specific but the conclusion shows that many patients who were "discharged from secondary care return to...

Hi all, For Tinnitus Week this year, 5-11 February, we are going to run a survey to learn how significant others (a partner, family member, friend etc) cope with your tinnitus. We want your input to this survey. What feels important to you? What questions do you want to know the answers to...

A conversation I had recently with someone in Pharma really hit home for me the importance of having an objective measure for tinnitus. For any company looking at the problem of tinnitus the only way of measuring improvement right now is to ask a series of questions. There is MRI and the like...

Wondering if this simple sweep of tones helps out many people? I've added a few more sounds to experiment with. I was playing with some sounds at the weekend and made a sine wave sweep. I've slightly altered it but in essence it's sounds from the bottom to the top of the hearing spectrum...

Hello to all. We're going to be putting a survey together, working with some researchers, to understand more about exercise and tinnitus. Can you please share your own experiences with me? For me personally I've had a good uninterrupted year of the gym, going usually 5 days per week. It's...

I had an eventful flight, surrounded by a school exchange trip on their way back to Madrid. They had no volume control, just on or off. I managed to get stuck right in the middle of another school trip on the way back, I mean what are the odds… Landed, got to hotel, quick meal and sleep ready...

Reactive tinnitus

Sound is vibration. We hear by sensing the vibrations in the air, which are decoded by the ear and passed to the brain.

Has anyone tried the tinnitus e-programme? See below from Kate Greenwell, she is looking at the effectiveness of the programme so needs input from anyone who has ever looked at it: Dear Members, I am contacting you to invite you to take part in my PhD research project at NIHR Nottingham...

Research Question Brain imaging work has shown gray matter shrinkage in the ventromedial pre-frontal cortex in tinnitus patients versus healthy controls [1]. Can body-mind based exercises increase vmPFC gray matter and will this result in an improvement in tinnitus? Exercises and Their...

I've been thinking about a project that anyone can get involved with and that may be of a real benefit. I came up with an idea called Join the Dots. The basic premise is that we all do our research into tinnitus when we get it, we scour the internet and find everything we possibly can. I...

Hi all, We're running a survey with the Tinnitus Research Initiative to see what features would be useful in an app. The main thrust is to gather a load of information so we can understand more about sub-types of tinnitus and what helps each group. To get that information the app has to be...

Hi everyone, Below you can find the results from our survey and the article that was published in the ATA Tinnitus Today magazine. It is an amazing feat; we received 5,017 responses — this makes it the largest ever survey on tinnitus patients. The survey results are a print straight from...

Updated post with a summary of the conference - it's a bit long, sorry. Also sorry to any of the presenters there who I haven't featured. Notes were a frenzy of typing: I apologise in advance for misquoting any research, though I’m hoping I haven’t. Happy to be corrected anywhere. Summary...

Hi all, I'm looking at doing a few sound recordings, getting some outdoor samples of anything and everything. Just wondered what sort of sounds you all like - as a bonus for sharing I'll even send some samples on to you once I've got the recordings. Steve

Hi Bruce and welcome, There seem to be several online or app based solutions for CBT. Do you think that they have their place (I've discussed with one producer that they believe they are useful for around 10% of patients) or do you think that they are a distraction from being assessed by a...

Hi Jennifer, I wonder if you can tell me how the mindfulness approach is different from general CBT? Steve

Talk on another thread lead to an interesting question. Say there were a resource, a professional organisation maybe, for tinnitus clinicians. What do you think the criteria should be before we deem them competent to treat tinnitus patients? Maybe a certain amount of time specialising in...

Has anyone used bone conduction headphones? I have an ear infection, swollen eardrum, driving me nuts that I can't hear in one ear. So I want some distraction and bone conduction seems the only way to go to get some sound equally to both ears. Amazon only seem to have the Aftershokz, any...
