On December 6, together with the Tinnitus Center of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, we hosted the 26th Tinnitus Symposium in Berlin. We were very pleased by the large number of guests; a total of 150 participants registered for the event. This symposium once again offered valuable insights into key areas of tinnitus research, ranging from psychosomatic and neurobiological perspectives to sleep regulation, diagnostic standards, and new aspects of vertigo and cochlear implantation.
