David Stockdale
David Stockdale was appointed Chief Executive of the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) in February 2010. Since joining the BTA, David has doubled the income of the charity, hugely increased capacity, and enabled the BTA to support over ten times as many people to live well with tinnitus. The BTA has become the central component of the tinnitus community both in the UK and worldwide, providing leadership in effectively supporting self-management as well as seeking to pursue the ultimate goal of a cure. In the last few years, David has been building the platform to enable the BTA and the tinnitus research community to make a step-change in research activity and pursue the BTA’s ultimate goal of ‘A world where no one suffers from tinnitus.’
