About Soundfair
In 2017, ‘Tinnitus Australia’ was established under Soundfair to give voice to people living with tinnitus. Tinnitus Australia aimed to reduce the isolation people living with tinnitus experienced, to support people to find the support they needed and to create a community of consumers, practitioners and researchers aligned with tackling tinnitus. This year, Tinnitus Australia becomes Tinnitus Awareness. Different name, same game. Under the name Tinnitus Awareness, Soundfair maintains its’ focus on creating a community, voice and means to connect people to information and support. Tinnitus Awareness runs an annual campaign to promote its messages. This annual campaign is run in Tinnitus Awareness Week, and in 2025 is called ‘T is for Tinnitus’.
Soundfair's vision is to co-create a world where all people living with hearing loss and tinnitus can live limitless lives.
Our mission is to foster awareness, build capacity, and improve accessibility by amplifying the voices of people who are living with tinnitus, or who are deaf or hard of hearing across Australia.
About Tinnitus Awareness Week
In 2025, the T is for Tinnitus campaign is entitled, T is for Tinnitus: Unseen, Unheard, Ignored.
The campaign focuses on highlighting the serious mental health impacts of tinnitus, but the lack of a dialogue about lived experiences at a population-level in Australia. The campaign seeks to generate funds to run Australia’s first national consumer survey titled Living with Tinnitus in Australia, aimed at understanding the hidden struggles faced by individuals living with this condition. This population-wide data will be analysed for the econoimic and wellbeing costs, as well as informing research, treatment and policy positions.
