Announcement of the 34th General Meeting
The 34th General Assembly of the STL will take place this year on May 25, 2024 at 2 p.m. in Zurich.
Our goal for the coming year is to expand and rebuild the homepage and make the events on offer more recognizable and visible. At the same time, we will also strive for coordination with Young Tinnitus in Germany, as many young people now suffer from tinnitus. Let us surprise you.
A big thank you goes to my colleagues on the Board of Directors, who have always given me the best possible support, and to the members of the Scientific Advisory Board for their valuable input.
Following the AGM, Dr. sc. mus. Elisabeth Sigron gave a lecture on “Tinnitus and mindfulness of the heart”.
