Decreased Speech-In-Noise Understanding in Young Adults with Tinnitus
Annick Gilles et al. The audiogram looks normal, otoacoustic emissions are normal, auditory brain stem response are normal - but the tinnitus keeps on ringing. How is it possible? It's called "hidden hearing loss". There is damage to the hearing system but it is not detected by standard measures.

Measuring the Moment-to-Moment Variability to Tinnitus: The TrackYourTinnitus Smart Phone App
Winny Schlee et al. The perception of tinnitus can fluctuate. Sometimes you hear it very loud. Sometimes it is low. The TrackYourTinnitus smartphone app allows you to measure the fluctuation of your tinnitus and understand it better. At the same time you are supporting tinnitus research by contributing your data for the global fight against tinnitus. Learn more about the app and the underlying theoretical concept at https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnagi.2016.00294/full
We are proud to present the first article of the European School for Interdisciplinary Tinnitus Research titled: "Innovations in Doctoral Training and Research on Tinnitus- The European School on Interdisciplinary Tinnitus Research (ESIT) Perspective".
All ESIT supervisors have worked together to underline the exclusiveness of ESIT as an interdisciplinary scientific tinnitus project explaining it's background, purposes and objectives.
Further the reader is given details about the project management, its components and work packages and how we manage to provide a wide interdisciplinary network of sciences related to tinnitus.
Thomas Fuller et al. A large team of tinnitus experts from different TINNET countries came together to compare the existing treatment guidelines for tinnitus. Read about what is similar - and read about the differences at https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00206/full
Berthold Langguth et al. The analysis of a large patient sample shows: Patients with headache and tinnitus have higher tinnitus-related distress, lower quality of life and more comorbidities. Read more about this topic at http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fneur.2017.00440/full
