Tinnitus Research Initiative
The Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) is a project dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients who suffer from tinnitus and tinnitus-related disorders. Central to the mission of TRI is facilitating and supporting biomedical research which will lead to novel, effective therapies for the treatment of tinnitus.
Historically tinnitus research has been undertaken by individuals or small groups from a wide range of different disciplines and mostly working independently of each other. The activities of TRI are based on the belief that collaboration across disciplines is essential for better understanding of tinnitus and for the development of effective treatments.
What we're doing during Tinnitus Week
During the Tinnitus Week, we will release and promote five educational videos on tinnitus.
The main character of the videos is Dracula aka "Count Tumultu" - he is over 1000 years old and has had tinnitus for centuries. He explains tinnitus and its causes, reflects on the current advancements in tinnitus treatment and science and expresses his hope for the future.
The videos are part of the final action dissemination of the TINNET COST Action.
Follow us for research news
We post on Twitter tinnitus research news from across the disciplines and we also take part in the patient organizations' activities.
