      Hello, I am a product design student at Appalachian State University. My current project is to help children that have tinnitus sleep better. I am on this forum to gain information like, how hard it is for a child with tinnitus get a good nights sleep, and what are they doing now to combat their tinnitus. Any information regarding these topics would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

      Do you have a specific age range in mind? Teens? Younger children?

      I am unsure how many parents on this forum have children with tinnitus, but I really applaud you for what you’re doing.

      Hi Chris,
      I have not seen many posts on here about young children with tinnitus but some high school children.

      This year's #TinnitusWeek was a world wide campaign from Tinnitus Hub/Tinnitus Talk, ATA and BTA and more...

      BTA focussed on Children with tinnitus including children's interviews and parents on how they cope.

      I would definitely pop on the BTA website or contact Emily Broomhead at the BTA.

      Love glynis
