Could it be that tinnitus studies are mostly useless? At minimum, we find many of them are lacking in rigor and proper design. Results can be misleading for tinnitus sufferers.

In this podcast we discuss these problems, and proposed solutions, with two experts in data collection and analysis for science: Inge Stegeman and Jorge Simões.

Good Tinnitus Science, Bad Tinnitus Science The problems with tinnitus studies.

Have you ever visited an audiologist or ENT doctor only to find out that they know nothing about tinnitus? We aim to change that, and are attending hearing research conferences around the world to raise awareness on the plight of sufferers.

If you can, please support Tinnitus Talk's work towards a better future for those affected by this invisible condition.
