 Our goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from tinnitus by supporting interdisciplinary research and fostering innovation in treatment methods.

Supporting scientific & clinical research

We facilitate and fund studies focused on understanding the mechanisms of tinnitus and developing new treatment approaches.

Facilitating communication & knowledge sharing

TRI creates platforms for researchers, clinicians, and experts to share their work through thematic workgroups, conferences, databases and newsletters

Educating clinicians & professionals

We provide training materials, books, and events to help healthcare professionals stay informed about the latest developments in tinnitus diagnosis and treatment.

Why Collaboration Matters

Historically, tinnitus research has been conducted by individual researchers or small teams working in isolation. At TRI, we believe that global collaboration across disciplines is essential for gaining a deeper understanding of tinnitus and accelerating the development of effective treatments.

This is why since 2006, TRI has worked to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, fostering a network of experts dedicated to advancing tinnitus research and treatment options.
