In Memory of Dr. Paul Rooney

Dr. Paul Rooney was a passionate psychologist who spent his life caring for his patients and advocating for those with “invisible” conditions that too often go unnoticed. In the last decade of his life, he personally battled chronic and severe tinnitus, an often debilitating condition that affects millions yet remains misunderstood.

In his memory, we aim to raise awareness for tinnitus and provide hope for those who suffer in silence. Severe tinnitus can bring immense hardship, and we want to acknowledge the strength and resilience of everyone facing this daily struggle.

Our goal is to raise both awareness and funds for research into effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure. We believe in a future where no one has to endure the constant torment of tinnitus, and through this effort, we aim to bring light, hope, and support to those affected.

Thank you for standing with us, and for helping to create a brighter future for those living with severe tinnitus.
