The Hashir International Institute is pleased to announce that it is co-organising TINNEXUS 2027 – Using Science and Translational Technology to Advance Our Understanding of Tinnitus and Improve Clinical Practice.
The conference will take place on Saturday, 13 March 2027, at the University at Buffalo, New York, USA.
TINNEXUS 2027 is jointly organised by the Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences at the University at Buffalo, the Center for Translational AI and Digital Health at the University at Buffalo, and the Hashir International Institute.
The conference will bring together tinnitus clinicians and researchers with scientists, engineers and experts from related disciplines. It will explore how advances in science and emerging technologies can deepen our understanding of tinnitus and contribute to better assessment, management and treatment.
The programme will examine developments in auditory science, genetics, neuropsychiatry, pharmacology and other relevant fields. It will also consider the potential contributions of artificial intelligence, engineering, physiological sensing, objective measurement, imaging and computational approaches to tinnitus research and clinical care.
A central aim of TINNEXUS is to bridge frontier research and everyday clinical practice. Alongside presentations addressing scientific mechanisms and emerging technologies, the programme will offer clinically relevant knowledge that audiologists, otologists and other healthcare professionals can apply to tinnitus assessment, differential diagnosis, patient education, counselling and management.
Advances in basic and translational science are essential to improving tinnitus care. A deeper understanding of auditory and non-auditory mechanisms, genetics, neural systems, perception and pharmacology can strengthen clinical reasoning and help healthcare professionals discuss tinnitus and emerging scientific developments with their patients more confidently.
Clinical experience is equally important. Clinicians bring valuable knowledge of patients’ experiences, priorities and unmet needs. By creating dialogue between researchers, healthcare professionals, engineers and technology specialists, TINNEXUS aims to stimulate new collaborations and identify promising directions for future research and treatment development.
The conference is open to audiologists, otologists, researchers, engineers, technology specialists and other healthcare professionals involved in tinnitus research and care. Invited experts will contribute both in person and virtually.
Further details about the programme and participation will be announced in due course.
