Dear members,
We are extremely proud to be launching our new podcast series, under the same name as this forum: Tinnitus Talk.
Please take a look here at our dedicated podcast page.
General Introduction
The podcast aims to inform, raise awareness, connect and entertain on all matters related to tinnitus. Our main focus will be interviews with both tinnitus experts and patients. We also aim to keep you updated on important news and developments in the field.
Our podcast host is @Jack Straw. He took the initiative to launch this series and has put immense time and effort into it. @Hazel and @Markku will be frequent contributors to the podcast.
First Episode
It starts with an intro from Jack about the podcast in general, followed by an interview with Dr. Rauschecker by Hazel. The segments are time stamped for your convenience.
Dr. Rauschecker has been researching tinnitus for many years. He is focussed on understanding the brain mechanisms of tinnitus, which should bring us closer to a cure. He is currently raising funds for a new study into animal models for tinnitus. We talked with Dr. Rauschecker about how his own tinnitus has informed his research, theories on tinnitus brain mechanisms, the dire lack of funding for cure focused research, and much more.

Your Questions
We addressed many questions suggested by you guys for Dr. Rauschecker, but of course there wasn’t time to cover everything, and we can imagine that the interview raises some new questions for you as well. So please feel free to pose any follow-up questions below. Dr. Rauschecker has graciously offered to make time to answer any questions. We will collect your questions and forward them to him.
Plans for the Future
Future episodes that we have in the pipeline are:
- Already recorded: David Stockdale (BTA) on tinnitus associations, public awareness, funding
- Already recorded: Dr. Will Sedley (researcher) on tinnitus from a neurological perspective
- Tentatively confirmed for late 2019: Dr. Susan Shore (researcher) on her clinical trials
Become Involved
If you can think of anyone else we should invite as a guest, please let us know. This is not limited to researchers or experts, we are also interested in tinnitus patients with interesting stories.
If you are interested in contributing a segment for, or becoming a guest on, a future episode, please PM @Markku, @Jack Straw and @Hazel.
Sharing Is Caring
Share the podcast on your social media and with your tinnitus friends!
