(Northwestern University) Ever since Ernest Moore's ears began ringing with tinnitus, he has been researching a cure.

Moore, a former soldier and an audiologist at Northwestern University, is doing cutting edge research with zebrafish that may offer a solution as new funding from the Department of Defense opens up.
