ATR joins forces with Deafness Research UK
ATR has joined forces with Deafness Research UK, the country's only medical charity for deaf and hearing impaired people, to deliver a unified and focused approach to tinnitus research in the UK. It will be the first time ever that UK tinnitus sufferers have the benefit of a single dedicated national research effort and support network aimed at funding much needed research to better understand the debilitating condition of tinnitus and work towards finding a cure.
Vivienne Michael, Chief Executive of Deafness Research UK, said: “Action for Tinnitus Research has an army of passionate supporters and Deafness Research UK has unsurpassed access to research expertise and a track record of supporting high quality, high impact research. We realised that, by combining our resources, we could make a real difference to the quality and quantity of tinnitus research being carried out in the UK, and radically improve the quality of service offered to tinnitus sufferers.
“We will soon be announcing specific research programmes and other benefits associated with ATR becoming a Deafness Research UK charity.”
ATR will now be based in London at Deafness Research UK's Gray's Inn Road headquarters, with ATR's Nottingham office closing.
