Our vision

What we do

We are an independent charity supporting thousands of people who experience tinnitus and advise medical professionals from across the world. We are the primary source of support and information for people with tinnitus in the UK, facilitating an improved quality of life. We aim to encourage prevention through our educational programme and to seek effective treatment for tinnitus through a medical research programme.

We seek to provide the most appropriate and expert advice and information free of charge via our confidential freephone helpline on 0800 018 0527.

Our vision

We want "A world where no one suffers from tinnitus."

That is a powerful statement and one we believe is achievable. It is achievable now, to an extent that there are management tools and methods available to enable some not to 'suffer'. However, we also want to find better ways to manage tinnitus – and ultimately a cure.

Our mission

To drive progress towards a cure and deliver excellent support to help people living with tinnitus.

Our values

Compassion

Address the needs of our community with empathy and kindness.

Integrity

Treat everyone with fairness, openness and honesty

Trust

Be objective and current, justifying what we do and say based on evidence.

Boldness

Be courageous in everything that we do and constantly challenge.

Together we can silence tinnitus

Please help us to support people living with tinnitus and drive progress towards a cure by donating here.
