I have worked collaboratively with the NIHR NHBRC (National Institute of Health Research, Nottingham Hearing Biomedical Research Centre), the leading UK Tinnitus Research facility at the University of Nottingham, since 2014. My main NHBRC contact is Dr Derek Hoare, Associate Professor in Hearing Sciences and Research Lead in Tinnitus & Hyperacusis
The Tinnitus E-Programme (TEP) was launched on-line in June 2009. It ran for 9 years as a wholly Self-Directed and free to access intervention. Originally, the course content was based on the materials I used over many years in East Lancashire NHS for the Tinnitus Management Group Course (TMGC) Website: www.tinnituseprogram.org
In 2018, the TEP became therapist-supported. It was also moved away from being website-based to being hosted on a purpose-built learning platform "CourseCraft". In 2019, further updates and additions have been introduced and the Tinnitus E-Programme Part 2 is available as a follow-on iCBT intervention
