The British Tinnitus Association (BTA)’s chief executive David Stockdale is stepping down in June after 12 years leading the charity.
The charity raises funding to carry out research into tinnitus and support those who have the condition, which is often described as buzzing or ringing in the ears.
“After 12 amazing years I have decided to take on a new challenge,” said Stockdale.
“This has been an extremely difficult decision to make – I love working with and for the BTA and the tinnitus community it serves. I am proud of all we have achieved and what is planned for the future.
“I have always sought to lead the BTA to do what serves the best interests of those living with tinnitus, combining support with research. However, it is time for someone else to have the honour of leading the BTA.”
