Evidence-based help for living with tinnitus
If you hear a sound that no one else can, you are not alone. Up to one in five Australians live with tinnitus, and for many it is relentless, exhausting and frightening. There is no cure yet. Tinnitus Australia is here to fund the research that will find one, and to give you support and information you can trust in the meantime.
