Spotlight on Sponsors: A huge thanks from Tinnitus UK!

Think back to the beginning of your tinnitus journey…

How did you know about the word “tinnitus”? Where did you go for support and advice? When did you first learn there was a charity out there fighting your corner? 

If it was because of tinnitus week, you’re not alone. Last year our campaign reached over 20 million people through TV and radio, and millions more online. This year, we plan to reach even more! 

But we couldn’t do it on our own. 

We’re incredibly grateful to our headline sponsors, Lenire, Specsavers, and ACS Custom, who each play vital, distinct roles in advancing awareness, support, access, and research for people affected by tinnitus. 

Each partner connects deeply to the charity’s missions, strengthening our work in support, research, information, empowerment, advocacy and prevention. 

Lenire 

At the cutting edge of tinnitus research is Lenire, a bimodal neuromodulation treatment device developed by Neuromod Devices. As a headline sponsor for Tinnitus Week’s core activities, Lenire’s role is deeply tied to innovation, expanding access to effective treatments and driving evidence-based approaches to management.  

A research-led approach 

Lenire’s support of Tinnitus Week directly aligns with our mission to work with the research community. The company is one of the most prolific publishers of research into tinnitus, and a strong advocate for quality care. 

Its sponsorship helps raise awareness about clinically supported options, while its growing network of UK clinic partnerships ensures more people can access assessments and potential therapy closer to home. 

By championing robust research and treatment development, Lenire helps ensure that people with tinnitus are not left waiting for solutions, but instead have access to evidence-based options that may improve their quality of life. 

Specsavers 

Specsavers might be best known for eye care, but after the NHS it’s one of the UK’s largest providers of audiology care. This vast reach make it a powerful ally in tinnitus awareness and support. 

Quality care in the community  

Recognising the need to do more for those living with tinnitus, Specsavers is working closely with Tinnitus UK to integrate tinnitus awareness and care into its core services and clinical practice – meaning more people can access the care they need. 

Early assessment by a qualified audiologist can be the difference between persistent uncertainty and clear guidance. This aligns seamlessly with Tinnitus UK’s mission to ensure people with tinnitus have immediate access to high-quality support. 

Specsavers’ involvement with Tinnitus Week helps ensure clinicians stay informed about the latest guidance and research in tinnitus care. 

In this way, Specsavers acts not just as a clinical service provider but also as a partner in systemic change, helping make routine hearing health checks more accessible and reduce the stigma around hearing care and tinnitus. 

ACS Custom  

A specialist company rooted in hearing protection, especially for musicians, awareness and prevention are foundational to ACS Custom. With over 30 years of experience in the music industry, the company plays a vital role in making hearing protection accessible and raising awareness of the benefits of safe listening. 

Prevention and awareness from the very start 

Founded by a musician whose career was ended by tinnitus, ACS Custom’s mission has always gone beyond product sales: it is built on protecting hearing and raising awareness of noise-related tinnitus and hearing damage.  

ACS Custom helps individuals living with tinnitus by making high-quality hearing protection available directly through Tinnitus UK. For example, the Pacato 16 high-fidelity filtered earplugs that you can purchase here, or receive a free pair when you join us at Quiet Night Out!

ACS custom has also created the Tinnitus Toolkit, connecting audiences to Tinnitus UK’s wider services such as support groups and the musician’s hub, helping individuals find community and guidance suited to your needs.
