The American Tinnitus Association (ATA) is proud to release the first episode in a new podcast series about tinnitus and hyperacusis.

The ATA is evolving its webinar series. We have listened to our members and present a new conversational podcast series on the topics of tinnitus and hyperacusis, "Conversations in Tinnitus."

"Conversations in Tinnitus" podcasts are hosted by audiologists John A. Coverstone, AuD, current Editor of ATA's magazine, Tinnitus Today, and Dean Flyger, AuD, a private practice audiologist in Paris, TX. Each podcast focuses on current issues, research, and treatment methods for people living with tinnitus.

Episode 4 Ringing Ears and the Neuroscience of Tinnitus

Larry RobertsOur 4th podcast features Dr. Larry Roberts, an emeritus professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Dr. Roberts discusses cutting-edge research in neuroscience that points to understanding possible causes of tinnitus, including cochlear pathology, hidden hearing loss at high frequencies, and synaptopathy. He also shares compelling findings on teenagers with tinnitus that suggest links to hyperacusis. Thoughts are shared on how recent research, in such areas as transcranial magnetic stimulation or procedures designed to harness neural plasticity, might be translated into clinical treatments.

Conversations in Tinnitus with Dr. Jinsheng Zhang.

Our third podcast features Dr. Jinsheng Zhang, professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at Wayne State University and former chair of the ATA’s Scientific Advisory Committee. Dr. Zhang discusses his ongoing research into neuromodulation, which attempts to change through electrical and chemical modulation the abnormal firing pattern associated with tinnitus. It is hoped that this mechanism will suppress tinnitus for prolonged periods. Due to the advanced nature of the subject and speed of conversation, listeners are encouraged to utilize the accompanying transcript while listening.
