New discoveries on the quest to cure tinnitus

Dr Kristin Barry is a research fellow at the Ear Science Institute Australia and adjunct at the University of Western Australia, with her career keenly focused on investigating the changes that occur in the brain after traumatic sound exposure. Kristin was drawn to this area of research by her fascination with the phenomenon of phantom limb perception. She has also investigated drug treatments, biomedical implants, and the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, in the treatment of hearing loss and tinnitus.
