THE IMPACT WE<br />

MADE THIS YEAR<br />

We want “a world where no one suffers from tinnitus.”<br />

We implemented the first year of our five-year operational plan, which<br />

integrates our five strategic priorities of Cure, Inform, Prevent, Manage<br />

and Deliver.<br />

Here are a few highlights of our progress throughout the year to achieving our<br />

goals<br />

CURE Lead progress towards a cure<br />

Through our research activities we have recognised<br />

that, in order to develop and progress research, a more<br />

collaborative and consistent approach across the research<br />

community and ourselves is needed.<br />

To illustrate the current postition regarding our knowledge of<br />

tinnitus and tinnitus research, we created the Tinnitus Cure<br />

Map. This highlights gaps in our knowledge, and<br />

opportunities for research.<br />

We also developed a closer working relationship with Action on Hearing Loss’<br />

Research Directorate, and made new connections with representatives of the<br />

pharmaceutical industry who have an interest in tinnitus.<br />

In addition to the work above a number of ongoing<br />

BTA research initiatives have also made the<br />

following progress during the year.<br />

The feasibility study into Eye Movement<br />

Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)<br />

is complete and the results have been published.
