Welcome

to the Tinnitus Database.

A large multinational cross-sectional and longitudinal database for clinicians and researchers.

About

Tinnitus is a frequent disorder for which there is yet no reliable treatment available. Many different treatment options have been investigated, however, most trials provided inconclusive results with some patients responding and many others without any benefit. These results suggest that there exist different forms of tinnitus which differ in their pathophysiology and their response to specific treatments. A challenge for tinnitus treatment and tinnitus research is therefore the identification of the most promising therapy for the individual patient. One approach to address this challenge is the systematic assessment of tinnitus patients in many clinical centers with standardized instruments.

The aim of the UNITI project is to develop a predictive computational model to predict which treatment is optimal for a given individual patient. The computational model is based on longitudinal data from the UNITI project. This „Decision Support System (DSS)“ is functional since September 2023 and can be used by tinnitus expert. In case you are a tinnitus expert that wants ot use the DSS, please contact us.
With the ESIT project a large team works together in order to create a large standardized database for tinnitus and identify the most promising treatment option for the individual.
