Case Studies
Meet our Regional Media Ambassadors
We have written the following case studies to help media organisations understand and portray the true-life experiences of people with tinnitus.
One thing we have learnt is that everyone's experience of tinnitus is different. We are delighted that a number of our supporters have stepped forward to help us spread the message of hope. Each has a dramatic and interesting story to tell about their experience of tinnitus, and what they do to cope.

Become a Regional Media Ambassador
Action for Tinnitus Research would like your help to raise awareness through the regional media of ATR's role in funding research, and to reach to out to fellow sufferers with a message of hope.
The publicity programme targeting regional media aims to raise awareness of ATR's role in funding research and our quest to find a cure for tinnitus.
We are interested in hearing from people who are prepared to help us with our regional ambassador programme. We are keen to hear from you wherever you live in the UK, and particularly interested in hearing from you if you live in the South West, the North West or the North East regions.
