We are very pleased that, despite the cancellation of the TRI 2020 Tinnitus Conference in Vancouver, CA, our call to publish an abstract book of the conference was accepted by many authors and that we are now able to present abstracts relating to more than 80 research projects on tinnitus.

This abstract book provides an impressive overview about the quality and diversity of the tinnitus research field. And this abstract book is the best proof, that tinnitus research is alive and more active than ever before.
