Tinnitus Week is taking place from 5-11 February 2018. The aim of this week is to raise awareness of the condition, which affects approximately 1 in 10 of the population.

Raising Awareness Together

For the first time, the international tinnitus community will join forces to shine a light on the condition, targeting as many people as possible in order to raise awareness of how tinnitus impacts the lives of the people living with it.

This year, alongside the Tinnitus Research Initiative, Tinnitus Hub and the American Tinnitus Association, Tinnitus Week has received an international boost. A new website has been set up as a resource collecting all the initiatives which will be taking place in 2018.

The British Tinnitus Association have been encouraging other organisations from across the world, who deal with tinnitus and other hearing related issues such as hyperacusis and hearing loss, to work together to raise awareness during Tinnitus Week.
