One of the UK's largest charities supporting deaf and hard of hearing people is urging the pharma industry to find a cure for tinnitus.

RNID, a charity representing nine million people in the UK, has launched a 'Tinnitus Market Report' highlighting the commercial opportunities that exist for effective tinnitus treatment.

The charity, which already funds research into tinnitus at universities gloablly, is inviting pharma organisations and experts in the hearing research field to collaborate.

Of the 7,406 drugs currently in development, only 18 are for hearing-related conditions. RNID hopes that its report will increase the number of organisations working on tinnitus.
