Do you suffer from tinnitus or hyperacusis?


The CERN Medical Service and UNIQA Assurances SA, Geneva, invite you to a conference organised by the French Association of Tinnitus Sufferers.

The conference will start with an introduction devoted to the destabilising experiences of people suffering from these symptoms and to the reactions that they induce. This introduction will be followed by a presentation of what are universally assumed in the medical research world to be the causes of the most frequently encountered forms of tinnitus (neurosensorial tinnitus). The presentation will also describe the multidisciplinary treatment that is currently regarded as the most effective means of initially managing the symptoms and then of eliminating them and that similarly targets these assumed causes.

The presentation will also survey the various clinical research protocols currently under way in Europe, which give sufferers of certain types of tinnitus hope of treatments in the short- to medium-term that will bring about a complete cure.
