Hi All,

I'm thrilled to have secured a spot in the London Marathon this April 27th, and I'm excited to use the opportunity to raise money for a tinnitus charity. I've had tinnitus for three years now, with a medium volume level (6/10), along with very mild hyperacusis in my right ear.

I've heard good things about Tinnitus Quest and was wondering if anyone could recommend other excellent tinnitus charities to support. Ideally, I'm looking for one focused on finding a cure.

Hi @FellowSufferer,

I hope you're well-prepared for the marathon!

As a Patient Advisory Board member of Tinnitus Quest, I believe we are the only organization solely focused on funding human studies with the goal of silencing tinnitus. While there are other organizations, they primarily focus on providing support, with only a small percentage of their efforts directed toward research.

Is there anything you'd like Tinnitus Quest to do to support you? (Obviously, we don't offer knee replacements 😊)

Yes, I've run a couple before. I'm planning to take this one nice and slow—haha!

Nothing in particular, thanks. I'm currently in email correspondence with @Hazel about a GoFundMe page.
