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.
