🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A centralized, plain-language dashboard that tracks and categorizes current clinical trials and research findings on tinnitus by evidence level.
  2. A patient-led registry that aggregates self-reported symptom triggers and treatment outcomes to identify patterns for researchers.
  3. A standardized educational portal for primary care physicians to help them communicate current, nuanced scientific understanding to patients.
