Here is some information about him, and his published works. All of these works can be found on PUBMED via Google and the abstracts are there for your use. We are very proud to be one of the selected clinics to provide this exciting new program for tinnitus in the USA!

Dr. Paul Davis is a Clinical Audiologist who has developed a reputation as a prominent tinnitus researcher and audiological clinician. Paul has a passion to improve the quality of life of those suffering from hearing loss and tinnitus. He has a strong track record in the R&D of audiological device and fitting systems; he was inventor of the intellectual property that is the basis of the Neuromonics technology, and led the proof-of-concept clinical studies. He was responsible for the international clinical research programs of Oticon A/S, which is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of hearing aids. Paul made significant contributions to the design of top-end digital hearing aids and their software-based fitting systems.

Dr. Davis has a degree in Psychology from Macquarie University, a postgraduate diploma in Audiology from the University of Queensland and a Masters and PhD in Audiology from Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia. He has lectured in rehabilitative audiology, supervised postgraduate students, and conducted his own research into pediatric neuro-audiology, amplification systems, and tinnitus in adults. He has extensive clinical experience as an audiologist in private practice, hospital departments, government clinics, and other clinical and research settings.

He developed the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment through many years of research and work with individuals with tinnitus. He has been involved in tinnitus research since 1990 and has presented and published research papers on tinnitus for three International Tinnitus Seminars, the Audiology Society of Australia and the American Academy of Audiology. He is also the author of successful self help books for both tinnitus and hearing loss.
