We've been in discussions recently and now we can confirm that we, ATA and BTA have now organised our awareness weeks at the same time - 6-12 February 2017. This means greater exposure and greater chance that news outlets will pick up on the message that tinnitus needs to be taken more seriously. It's in our hands to help this happen by creating some noise on social media.
It's a beginning and something that we here at Tinnitus Talk are right in the middle of. We want to continue to grow this awareness week so that every organisation across the world involved in tinnitus will become a part of it. The more people that take part the higher the likelihood of mainstream news picking up on the tinnitus story. Greater exposure means greater awareness and the prospect of more funding for tinnitus research.
As part of this years effort we are working on a video collaboration project with ATA and BTA. We will be collecting short clips from our community and the ATA and BTA communities on the subject of what tinnitus means to you. By the end of the week we will put together a collage of these clips and push it out to raise awareness. The project is titled "Tinnitus: The Unseen Epidemic".
We're going to take a selection of the videos and make them into a video collage to help raise tinnitus awareness.
Keep them to 10 seconds or less and tell us something about your tinnitus – it could be how it makes you feel, how you have coped with it, what it has stopped you from doing, how you've come out of the dark days – anything.
