On this week’s podcast episode, I talk with Sven Köllmann and Jack Rubinacci of Tinnitus Quest to uncover why tinnitus is so widespread, yet still misunderstood in the music industry.
With over 700 million people affected worldwide, and 120 million battling severe symptoms, the condition is far from rare.
From orchestral players to rockers and club DJs, tinnitus doesn’t discriminate.
Sven and Jack reveal how Tinnitus Quest is driving global awareness, pushing groundbreaking research, and giving sufferers a voice.
If you’re a musician or producer, this episode could change how you think about sound, and your ears.
In this episode:
• Why tinnitus affects up to 1 billion people globally
• How stigma silences musicians from speaking out
• Causes of tinnitus beyond just hearing loss
• Shifting tinnitus research from the ear to the brain
• Why orchestral musicians are hit hardest
• How Tinnitus Quest is bridging researchers and patients
• The importance of celebrity voices in raising awareness
