Tinnitus Australia and Soundfair
WORKING FOR CHANGE
Tinnitus Australia is a collaboration of people working professionally, passionately, and ethically to eliminate the suffering experienced by people with tinnitus and the burden this places on their friends and families.
WHO IS TINNITUS AUSTRALIA?
Tinnitus Australia is an initiative of Soundfair Australia.
In 2015, TA was created by a previous dedicated board member of Soundfair Australia, formerly known as Better Hearing Australia (Vic). Since then TA has been led by a volunteer group and funded through fundraising and Soundfair reserves.
Soundfair Australia puts people at the centre as we work to create change. We aspire to drive innovation in services and build society-wide awareness and empathy for people that live with hearing.
The primary role of TA is to provide improved responses for tinnitus sufferers and much greater recognition of the impacts of tinnitus among health professionals and policy makers via a lively and active forum for discussion and debate that progresses a shared understanding of tinnitus.
