16 actions are currently open. Each has a named recipient, a current need and a date when a person last reviewed it. Nothing is added to make this list look longer.
Every action is reviewed before publication. Each published action is checked for a real destination, a concrete next step, and relevance to moving tinnitus research or treatment development forward. This is editorial review, not scientific, medical or regulatory endorsement.
This is the full catalogue, not a personalised recommendation. Use the matcher to find actions that fit what you can offer today.

Recipient
The EUTINNET study team
Current need
European tinnitus research needs a large, comparable dataset gathered the same way across countries.
What you do
Open the official EUTINNET participation page and complete its questionnaires. It is aimed at people in Europe with tinnitus and/or hyperacusis and studies tinnitus, hyperacusis and related comorbidities and impairments. There are 134 questions, all of them required for your responses to be used, and they take about 25 minutes when completed continuously. Registration uses email and mobile verification, and once you start you have 24 hours to finish. Read the consent and data-protection information before entering any personal or health-related information. Nothing is sent from here and we never see your answers.
What this cannot do
This is research participation, not treatment. It gives you no place in any trial and no clinical advice. The official EUTINNET page and its consent and data-protection information govern what happens to your data.

Why this mattersHide details
Recipient
Tinnitus Quest
Current need
Tinnitus Quest relies on donations to fund exploratory research aimed at silencing tinnitus. A legitimate connection to a funder may help expand the amount of research it can support.
What you do
Write to Tinnitus Quest and offer, in general terms, a funder you could legitimately reach. They decide whether they want an introduction, and nobody is introduced until both sides agree.
What this cannot do
Offering a connection does not mean an introduction will happen. Tinnitus Quest decides whether it is relevant, and nobody's details are shared until both sides agree. Do not name or forward anyone's details without their agreement. This is not a fundraising message to send widely, and Tinnitus Action never sees or claims any amount.

The Tinnitus Quest volunteer team
Current need

What this cannot do
Applying does not guarantee that a suitable role exists. This supports the organisation's research-funding and outreach capacity; sending an email does not itself produce research results.
