On October 13, 2020, over 50 of our UNITI project team members again met virtually for our series of team meetings UNITI TV, in its 3rd edition!

Once more, we very much enjoyed our fruitful exchange on all project updates, and were happy to see each other after some time, at least online.

And we're already looking forward to the 4th airing of UNITI TV!

With high relevance to the current coronavirus situation, the UNITI consortium is proud to present another project publication!

The team at University Hospital Regensburg, together with colleagues from Norway and Switzerland, published a paper on "The Effect of Environmental Stressors on Tinnitus: A Prospective Longitudinal Study on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic". As an Open Access publication, it is available for free download here or by clicking on the image on the left.

Congratulations to all involved, and we're very much looking forward to new upcoming projects and innovative findings!

* Update (10 September 2020): The recording of Raj Shekhawat's TedX Talk is now available on the official TedX Talks Youtube channel. We invite you to have a watch! *

We are proud to announce that UNITI Advisory Board member Raj Shekhawat, Associate Professor at UCL London, will give a very surely inspirational TEDtalk at TEDxSFIT, on "Tears of joy: The magic of hearing".

This time, the event will be carried out fully online, and free registrataion is available following this link, or by clicking on the image below.

We congratulate our dear colleague Raj very much to this opportrunity and are certain that everyone attending will derive great benefit!

We are happy to report that the second virtual UNITI team meeting, UNITI TV, has already taken place on July 28, 2020, with many partners of the consortium throughout Europe coming together to share the project's current state of progress.

We are grateful for everybody's input and great efforts in preparing for the start of the UNITI clinical trial, especially given the still ongoing special circumstances created by the coronavirus pandemic.

We're even more thankful for the support of our great team and are already looking forward to the next edition of UNITI TV, and project advances to be shared and reported!

Although many people with tinnitus also suffer from hyperacusis (enhanced sensitivity to sounds), estimates of the association between hyperacusis and tinnitus are missing. A team of researchers coordinated by Chris Cederroth has now investigated this relationship for the first time. The results of this Swedish study have now been published in J. Clin. Med. 2020, 9(8), 2412; https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm9082412 (registering DOI)
