Learn how you can participate in our research and help test a new diagnostic tool for tinnitus
Seeking people with tinnitus
Our tinnitus research study aims to investigate a way to objectively ‘measure’ tinnitus using a safe and non-invasive brain imaging technique based on near-infrared light.
Research study for people with tinnitus
Do you or someone you know experience tinnitus all the time? The Bionics Institute is seeking people aged 18 and over to take part in a research study to develop an objective measure of tinnitus. To be eligible, participants should experience tinnitus all the time and not currently be undergoing tinnitus treatment
What is involved in the study?
If participating, you will:
- Visit our Carlton or Fitzroy Facility 3 times
- Each visit takes 1-2 hours
- Visits will be at least 3 months apart
During the study visit, participants will:
- Undergo a hearing test
- Answer questionnaires about their tinnitus and other aspects of their well-being
- Wear a brain imaging cap (similar to a swimming cap) which uses near-infrared light

What is the aim of the tinnitus research?
In this study we are developing a new way to measure tinnitus using a new brain imaging technique that uses near-infrared light. The aim of the research is to establish an objective measure of tinnitus that doesn’t rely on subjective self-reported symptoms.
