Tinnitus conference stays virtual for 2021

Each day of the conference presents a different theme including the psychology of tinnitus, practical skills, and the latest in tinnitus research.

The British Tinnitus Association (BTA) has today announced their annual tinnitus conference will take place virtually this year, from 4 to 8 October 2021.

Following the success of the 2020 event, the conference will offer flexibility for UK and international attendees with on-demand viewing, a dedicated networking area, and exciting new features.

The BTA Virtual Conference 2021 – aimed at audiologists, ENTs, GPs, hearing care professionals, psychologists, tinnitus support groups and researchers – takes place online this autumn with attendees getting full access to five days of lectures, cases studies, and seminars.

Each day of the conference presents a different theme including the psychology of tinnitus, practical skills, and the latest in tinnitus research. Topics will range from paediatric tinnitus, PTSD management and tinnitus, and the impact of tinnitus on professional musicians.

An early bird rate of £90 will be available for the first 50 attendees, with standard rate tickets costing £120 each. Tickets include access to all recorded conference material for 12 months after the event.

Tickets will be released in July 2021. Visit tinnitus.org.uk/conf2021 for more information and to sign up to be the first to hear about ticket release and full agenda.

The British Tinnitus Association is an independent charity and the primary source of information for people with tinnitus. It helps to facilitate an improved quality of life for people with tinnitus through a range of support options including support groups, a helpline and its website, while also taking steps to bring forward the day when tinnitus is cured. The charity works to inform and educate medical professionals and the community on what tinnitus is and how to manage it.

The British Tinnitus Association wants “a world where no one suffers from tinnitus”. It wants to find better ways to manage tinnitus and, ultimately, to help find a cure. In 2020, the publication of its Tinnitus Manifesto led to more than 100,000 people signing a petition for more funding for tinnitus research to find cures.
