Unification of Treatments and Interventions for Tinnitus Patients (UNITI)
UNITI results
UNITI project finished in September 2023. It’s overall aim was to deliver a predictive computational model based on existing and longitudinal data attempting to address the question which treatment approach is optimal for a specific patient based on specific parameters. Clinical, epidemiological, medical, genetic and audiological data, including signals reflecting ear-brain communication, were analysed from existing databases. Predictive factors for different patient groups were extracted and their prognostic relevance were tested in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which different groups of patients underwent a combination of therapies targeting the auditory and central nervous systems.

Although the TRI 2020 Tinnitus Conference in Vancouver, CA, had to be postponed, the organizers published an abstract book of the conference which provides an impressive overview about the quality and diversity of the tinnitus research field. This abstract book is the best proof, that tinnitus research is alive and more active than ever before.
