https://hearinghealthfoundation.org/webinar/register There is a webnar on tinnitus on April 19th at 5 PM EDT that is sponsored by the Hearing Health Foundation. HHF is involved in research programs on a variety of issues related to hearing loss.

Attendance at this webinar is open but the number of participants is limited. Here is a brief description of the topic with info about the presenters.

Learn how tinnitus, the experience of hearing sound without an external, acoustic source, can be measured. Measurements can productively inform the counseling process and guide adjustments of hearing aids and tinnitus sound therapy devices. Tinnitus does not present the same for everyone, and measurements illuminate different causes, symptoms, and potential treatments.

Past Emerging Research Grants (ERG) scientist Richard Tyler, Ph.D., is Professor & Director of Audiology in the Departments of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Iowa.
The event will be moderated by HHF Board of Directors member Anil Lalwani, M.D., who is based at Columbia University. Lalwani is also the Head of HHF's Council of Scientific Trustees, which oversees the ERG program.

Thanks for info about this webinar, too! Appreciated.

It seems like this is related to the objective measurement of tinnitus paper (see link below), which got quite a bit of attention in the news:

Research paper:

Should be nice to learn what the scientists have to say about where this is headed.
