254 - Creating a Tinnitus Learning Health Network

31 minutes

Can a unified network of patients, clinicians, and researchers finally transform tinnitus care? The team at Stop The Ring presents an ambitious plan to do just that with the creation of a Tinnitus Learning Health Network. Originally presented at the 'InFocus: Rethinking Tinnitus Symposium' and moderated by Dr. David Holcomb, this discussion brings together Jeffery Reagan, a tinnitus patient and founder of Stop The Ring, Dr. Jim Henry, a leading tinnitus researcher, and Dr. Donna Murray, a learning health network expert. Together, they outline how this innovative approach can revolutionize tinnitus care by breaking down silos and fostering collaboration to develop standardized, patient-centered treatment pathways.

Jeffery shares his personal journey with tinnitus, emphasizing the critical importance of early detection and effective care. Dr. Henry highlights the current gaps in tinnitus management, including the lack of clinical standards and outcome consistency, while Dr. Murray explains how a learning health network integrates real-world data to accelerate improvements in care.

Drawing on successful models from other conditions, the team outlines a path toward building a network that breaks down silos, amplifies the patient voice, and delivers better outcomes for those affected by tinnitus.
