Let them know during International Tinnitus Awareness Week, from 5 to 11 February. 

• Millions of people have been told there is nothing they can do about their tinnitus.
• That’s bad advice and for many it leads to more stress anxiety and depression.
• Our researchers in Auckland, Sydney, France, Belgium, the UK and the USA are available for interview throughout Tinnitus Week.

An app can change the lives of those affected by tinnitus

• Millions of people have been told to there is nothing they can do about their tinnitus.
• That’s bad advice and for many it leads to more stress anxiety and depression. 
• With specialist psychological support you can train your brain to ignore tinnitus. But that’s expensive and not widely available. 
• Now, a research team led by the University of Auckland have developed an app that, in a trial published today in Frontiers in Audiology and Otology, reduced the impact of tinnitus in two-thirds of users in weeks.
