Dr Ralph Holme, Action of Hearing Loss

"We regularly have to respond to members of the public to help put the ‘latest research’ in context for them. We are also concerned about some of the claims made on the internet about potential treatments that are not based on any credible science. This is particularly a problem for tinnitus where patients desperate for help can be easily misled. It is always important to ask for the evidence."

Dr Ralph Holme is the Head of Biomedical Research at Action on Hearing Loss.
