June 30th marks the start of Tinnitus at the Lake, a remarkable scientific event in Herrsching, Germany, by the Tinnitus Research Initiative. The conference will explore critical aspects of tinnitus research and methodology and will differ from the traditional scientific conference because of its interactive nature.
On Sunday, 10th July, we have the pleasure of presenting two key contributors to that event, Professor Raj Shekhawat from Flinders University and Alan Hopkirk, Tinnitus Expert and Clinical Director of The Invisible Hearing Clinic. They will be reflecting on the TRI Tinnitus at the Lake event and presenting the latest research updates.
There will also be the opportunity to speak one-to-one with our experts and to ask questions during our Q & A session. The event numbers are strictly limited to create an intimate atmosphere and to allow all attendees the chance to interact with our presenters.
