Hearing loss and tinnitus

Looking through the microscope

Biomedical research into hearing loss and tinnitus has a real chance of leading to new treatments to prevent hearing loss, restore hearing and alleviate tinnitus in the future.

RNID is supporting this important area by:

  1. Funding world-class research at universities and research institutes around the world. Find out more about the types of projects we are funding or how to apply for an RNID Research grant.
  2. Working with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies to encourage them to produce new treatments for hearing loss and tinnitus. RNID carries out market research to highlight business opportunities for companies developing new treatments for hearing loss and tinnitus. Find out more about biomedical market opportunities.
