Profile

Project Summary / Abstract
Tinnitus is the pervasive and often debilitating perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the absence
of external stimuli. Sufferers face significant challenges that diminish quality of life, including sleep
disturbances, cognitive difficulties, and reduced productivity. Additionally, the prevalence of mental health
conditions, including anxiety, depression, and somatic symptom disorders, is significantly higher in patients
suffering from tinnitus. Veterans suffering from tinnitus also have a higher likelihood of screening positive for
PTSD. In the United States, up to 50 million people have tinnitus, among whom 20 million are chronic sufferers
actively seeking relief. About 3 million veterans receive tinnitus disability compensation annually making it the
number one service-connected disability for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Despite the overwhelming need for an effective treatment, today’s options are unsatisfactory to most patients;
20% report receiving no help when visiting their general practitioner for tinnitus, over 66% receive no tinnitus
care or management after being discharged by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists, and 40% of those
discharged return to their general practitioner seeking further help. The major limitation of today’s treatment
options is their failure to address the underlying pathology of tinnitus –
