On September 22, 2010 the Invisible Wounds Caucus (IWC) will hold a special hearing on Tinnitus. The goal of this hearing is to educate Members of Congress and their staff about the proven connections between tinnitus and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and tinnitus and PTSD. Our ultimate goal, as with all of our advocacy efforts is to increase the available research funding for tinnitus, and its co-morbidities, in an effort to cure it.
