40 Years of the German Tinnitus League

The German Tinnitus League (DTL) celebrated its 40th anniversary with a varied programme of expert talks, personal reflections and opportunities to connect and exchange ideas. Around 80 guests came together to learn about tinnitus, hearing loss, Ménière’s disease, mental wellbeing and the latest developments in tinnitus research. International collaboration with the Tinnitus Leagues in Austria and Switzerland was also part of the programme.

Speakers included Dr Frank Matthias Rudolph, who gave a talk on tinnitus and hearing loss; Dr Helmut Schaaf, who shared insights into Ménière’s disease; and psychologist Mykola Fink, who explored the topic of psychological hygiene. Prof Birgit Mazurek also gave a lecture on the current state of tinnitus research. The programme also featured reflections on four decades of the DTL, as well as insights into the work of the Austrian and Swiss Tinnitus Leagues. Another highlight was the introduction of the new board: Bernd Strohschein was re-elected as Chair, Fred Podszus remains Treasurer, and Markus Hahn joins as Deputy Chair. Congratulations!
