Dear colleague

We are the UK’s largest charity representing people with hearing loss, deafness, and tinnitus. We’re planning the next 5 years of our work, and we hope you can help.

A key priority for us is to accelerate the development of treatments and technology to protect and restore hearing, and silence tinnitus. We want to understand the challenges, bottlenecks and opportunities that exist in developing technology and treatments, and what we need to do to have the biggest impact.

We want to hear the views of researchers engaged in hearing-related research, so please can you complete our Hearing Research survey by following the link below.

It can be also a good solution for displaying monthly screening activities. The EXCEL spreadsheet (2016 version )  and the guide of how to use it can be downloaded from the ECHO website
