Texas Public Radio
Jun 01, 2025
Posttraumatic stress disorder and tinnitus – that constant ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sound in the ears – seem so different, but they often occur together and cause similar psychological distress. For this episode of “Science & Medicine,” Texas Public Radio’s Bonnie Petrie speaks with John Moring, PhD, about his research efforts with STRONG STAR to better understand the relationship between these two conditions and how best to help patients alleviate symptoms and reduce related distress. Dr. Moring, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at UT Health San Antonio, also shares how his personal experience with tinnitus inspires his work.
