Don't forget to REGISTER for our last Episode of the current series, that is dealing with everything around the patient.

Laurence McKenna, "Understand Tinnitus and Knowing What to Do and Not to Do": The approach to coping with tinnitus that has the strongest evidence is cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). This approach will be outlined and ways to manage your response in terms of thinking and behaving (what to do and not do) will be discussed. The importance of sleep will be highlighted.  

Hazel Goedhart, Navigation the tinnitus world - from a patient perspecitve":  If you suffer from tinnitus, you might find yourself lost. Doctors fail to understand or investigate your condition. Loved ones cannot imagine your struggles. And the internet is full of scams. But you don’t have to start from scratch. You can learn from those who have gone before you. You can find relief in sharing your stories. You can educate yourself on the science. And together, we can promote better care and research for tinnitus sufferers.  

Don't forget to REGISTER for the TRI2023 Tinnitus Conference, 06 - 09 June 2023, in Dublin. The deadline for the regular registration is April 15!

For details on the scientific part of the conference please refer to the final conference program schedule.

Furthermore we are proud to announce that that Robin Guilliard has won the TRI2023 travel award. Robin has been working on tinnitus research for 6 years and was involved in 7 clinical studies and launched 2 startups on tinnitus. His work is focused on aiming to solve tinnitus heterogeneity with machine learning techniques and on trying to understand sleep-related modulations of tinnitus intensity. He is the president of Siopi, a mutual-help community for tinnitus patients of more than 3000 members. He will present his recent work on understanding how naps may modulate tinnitus

It is important to take care of booking accommodation as early as possible, as it can be very expensive. The organizers have negotiated a discount with some hotels that can be booked with the codes given here. https://www.lab-clint.org/tri2023/hotels.html

The next TRI Academy session on the 19th of April, 12:00pm CEST will be a special one.

It will offer a platform for the next generation of tinnitus researchers to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere while having a coffee or tea.
This will be a very nice opportunity to talk with other early career researchers (ECRs) before many of us will meet at the TRI conference in Dublin as well as to discuss how we as ECRs in the field of tinnitus can connect.

Join us to meet and discuss with peers on April 19.

The TRI 2023 conference Engineering the future of tinnitus: Bridging Academia, Industry, Medicine & Society (#BridgingAIMS), will take place from June 6-9 in Dublin, IRL

The local organizers and the scientific committee have spared no time and effort, so we can expect an exciting and inspiring conference.

Deadline for submission of abstracts is March 1, 2023. Detailed information on submission and registration can be found on the conference website

We're looking forward to seeing you in June in Dublin!

Céad míle fáilte! A hundred thousand welcomes to the Annual Tinnitus Research Initiative Conference at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland between June 6 and 9, 2023. Over the years, the annual TRI conference has attracted scientists, physicians, healthcare professionals and industrialists to influence the tinnitus field. This year we envision a unique and historical extension of this gathering to tinnitus patients and caregivers, inviting them to significantly contribute to shaping the field for the generations to come.

The TRI 2023 - Engineering the future of tinnitus: Bridging Academia, Industry, Medicine & Society (#BridgingAIMS) - will be held at the Trinity Business School in Trinity College Dublin, the oldest academic institution in Ireland.

For registration and abstract submission please visit the Concerence website (www.tri2023.org) and follow us on Twitter (@2023_tri) for regular updates on the conference.

Hasselt University is conducting a survey on the influence of certain lifestyle factors on the development of tinnitus as part of a doctoral thesis. In the meantime, many people with tinnitus have completed the survey, but they are still looking for control participants without tinnitus . So if you do NOT have tinnitus yourself or if you can motivate people in your environment to participate in a study as control subjects, please click on the following link in order to get more information about the study and to participate in the survey.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Christopher R. Cederroth, partner in the UNITI project, has become the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (JARO). Dr. Cederroth was former Associate Editor in the successful Frontiers Research Topic coordinated along with Winfried Schlee.

Christopher on his new role as editor-in-chief:

• "I am currently expanding the board of Associate Editors to better reflect the broad scope of research presented at ARO’s annual meeting, but also to better represent tinnitus research. This is why I am also expanding the scope to include clinical trials and other large studies and improve the visibility of the research performed in the field.

JARO has been created 20 years ago and aims to publish experimental research in hearing and balance, in animals and humans, but also treatment of disorders, rehabilitation with hearing aids and cochlear implants, genetics, epidemiology, anatomy and physiology, psychoacoustics, among others.

• I am delighted to be part of this adventure! With the success we had with Frontiers, there is a great likelihood of increasing the impact of JARO and raise it back to the first Quartile of the best journals in Audiology."

JARO is a Springer journal, and many countries benefit from open access agreements. For more information, check JARO’s website
