The RNID research programme has been responsible for many important discoveries that are either already benefiting people with hearing loss, or are likely to do so in the future. You can read about the highlights from ten years of RNID-funded research in our new 'Hearing Progress' (PDF 5.8MB) booklet.
Remarkable progress has been made towards understanding the causes of hearing loss, which in turn raises the possibility of innovative and exciting new treatments to restore and protect hearing. Until we are able to restore natural hearing, devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants are the best way to improve hearing. As well as working towards treatments for hearing loss, our research programme has been tackling tinnitus and its effects.

Progress cannot be made without the people working in the field:
We would like to thank the generosity of all our supporters who have made this research possible. We want to continue building on our achievements and ensure that scientific discoveries lead to medicines and therapies to improve hearing and cure tinnitus. This will only happen with the continued help of our supporters, a greater involvement of the pharmaceutical industry, and a marked increase in funding going into hearing research.
