Our People
We bring together tinnitus patients and researchers with decades of experience, unwavering and united in the pursuit of a single goal: to silence tinnitus.
The members of our Boards do not receive any compensation for the fulfillment of their duties as board members, apart from reimbursement for costs made in the execution of their duties.
Executive Board
Our decision-making body for financing research projects and setting communication and fundraising strategies consists of a 5-member board comprising 3 patients and 2 clinical scientists, reflecting the fact that Tinnitus Quest is driven by patients with the help of scientists.
