Dearest Tinnitus Talk members,
Christmas and New Year are upon us. We know that it's not an easy time for everyone, but we nevertheless want to extend our warmest wishes to you for the festive season!
2018 was a big year for Tinnitus Talk. Our membership grew again, and we also expanded our activities beyond the forum in terms of collecting data for tinnitus research and creating educational videos, most recently the Reflections on Tinnitus Research 2018 and the Neuromod Q&A videos.
Of course we have big plans for 2019. We will be publishing a video interview with Joan van Baarle, the mother of Gaby Olthuis, who had euthanasia committed because of her severe tinnitus and hyperacusis. We also plan to publish a series of short video interviews with tinnitus researchers, under the title of Spotlight on Tinnitus Research. Furthermore, we are working on a Tinnitus Guide, with objective, reliable and practical information and advice for tinnitus sufferers seeking help online. And we will likely once again conduct one or more surveys that will feed into tinnitus research and awareness. In sum, there's plenty to look forward to.
In the meantime of course, many of us struggle with our tinnitus on a daily basis. If you are one of those, please know that the Tinnitus Talk family is here to support you, day and night. And if you are lucky enough to be managing quite well, we are happy and grateful to have you around to help and advise others.
If you like the services that we provide and would like to contribute to our mission of improving the lives of people with tinnitus, there is of course the option of donating to Tinnitus Talk. But we are also in dire need of volunteers to help out with a multitude of tasks in many different areas of expertise. Contact @Markku and @Hazel via PM if you are interested.
Thank you all for being part of the Tinnitus Talk community.
