“Beyond the nuisance of having persistent ringing or other sounds in the ears, tinnitus symptoms are debilitating in many patients, causing sleep deprivation, social isolation, anxiety and depression, adversely affecting work performance, and reducing significantly their quality of life,” says senior author Stéphane F. Maison, PhD, CCC-A, a principal investigator at Mass Eye and Ear, a member of Mass General Brigham, and clinical director of the Mass Eye and Ear Tinnitus Clinic. “We won’t be able to cure tinnitus until we fully understand the mechanisms underlying its genesis. This work is a first step toward our ultimate goal of silencing tinnitus.”
It’s important to know the different types of hearing loss and when to seek medical care for hearing.
Nashville based 501c3 charity Songs for Sound is hitting the road for its 8th annual tour, headed across the United States, serving VA clinics in Bennington, Burlington and White River Junction, Vermont. This tour is made possible due to the support from Cochlear Americas, a leader in hearing device implants that help to restore hearing and connect people to a world of sound, The Academy of Country Music (ACM) Lifting Lives Foundation, The Boedecker Foundation and The Sertoma Club of Nashville.

“I had the pleasure of having Jaime and her mobile hearing clinic visit our community for a day to provide free hearing screenings to our residents. I loved learning about their amazing organization and the wonderful services they offer. You can truly tell that they have a passion for what they are doing. We had about 100 residents receive screenings in a 4 hour period. They were fast, easy, and professional.” – Lauren Stobbie, Fitness Director, Del Webb Ponte Vedra
