Tinnitus and COVID Survey
Research is sponsored by the Rainwater Charitable Foundation and approved by the IRB at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Tinnitus, also known as “ringing in the ears,” is a common hearing disorder in adults. The goal of this study is to investigate the impact of COVID on tinnitus, with a focus on COVID-related tinnitus. COVID-related tinnitus is defined as having tinnitus after COVID infection or vaccination for COVID or having tinnitus as one of the long COVID symptoms. If you have pre-existing tinnitus before the pandemic, or have/had COVID-related tinnitus, please participate in the study to help us better understand the impact of COVID on an individual’s quality of life. If interested, please complete the online survey: https://illinoisahs.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bOZ0l075JQTv4ea
Misophonia related study

We are investigating the audiological and psychological aspects of misophonia using surveys, behavior, and brain imaging studies. This study will help us better understand the condition of misophonia and associated audiological, psychological, and neurological profiles.
If you would like to participate in this study, you will be required to complete an online survey form and will be compensated with a $5 gift card. Please find the link for the online survey below: Online Survey Software | Qualtrics Survey Solutions
