JLA Tinnitus Survey

SETTING THE PRIORITIES FOR TINNITUS RESEARCH

The British Tinnitus Association, in partnership with the NIHR National Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing (NBRUH), is leading on a project to identify what the important research questions are.

The aim of the project is to identify the unanswered questions about tinnitus treatment from patient and clinical perspectives and then to prioritise those that patients and clinicians agree are the most important, which will help direct future research.

The project will be independently overseen by the James Lind Alliance, a non-profit making initiative. They specialise in bringing patients and clinicians together to identify and prioritise uncertainties, or 'unanswered questions', about the effects of treatments that they agree are most important. The James Lind Alliance is internationally recognised as an authoritative and independent organisation to guide this work and produce an unbiased result, which gives equal weighting to the views of patients and clinicians.
