Researchers in New Zealand believe a cure for tinnitus could come from an unlikely source - MDMA. A research project, led by the University of Liverpool and Aintree University Hospital, is giving new hope to patients living with tinnitus. The University and Aintree have now teamed up to try to gain a better understanding of how the brain reacts in different tinnitus patients. The study, which is being led by Dr Vanessa Sluming, Senior Lecturer in Neuroimaging Science and Principal Investigator at the University, and Fahad Alhazmi, a PhD student, will investigate brain structure and function in people who have tinnitus and those who don’t.


Previous research between Aintree and the University has been shortlisted for a prestigious Marie and Jack Shapiro prize by the British Tinnitus Association, which recognises research that is “most likely to result in improved treatment or awareness of tinnitus.
For Tinnitus Awareness Week (3 -9 February), Aintree University Hospital will be holding a special tinnitus support group meeting, including a talk by Fahad, on Wednesday 5 February at 6pm in the Clinical Sciences Centre at Aintree University Hospital.
Tinnitus, for which there is currently no cure, although there are effective management techniques, can lead to anxiety and depression in extreme cases.
The group with tinnitus will be a mix of people who find the condition irritating and those who don’t.

An information stand, staffed by members of Aintree’s tinnitus support group, will be in the hospital’s Elective Care Centre from 3-7 February.
