Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Tinnitus Research for Military 
Health Improvement Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Tinnitus, or the perception of sound where no external 
        source of such sound exists, is the most prevalent disabling 
        condition that affects members of the Armed Forces, most 
        notably those members who have been exposed to blast injuries 
        during combat, or other high noise level situations.
            (2) Tinnitus is the leading service-connected disability 
        for returning members of the Armed Forces and the prevalence of 
        tinnitus is continuing to increase at alarming rates.
            (3) An otologic, or ear, injury such as tinnitus has been 
        shown to decrease performance and situational awareness during 
        combat, seriously compromising the ability of a member of the 
        Armed Forces to hear and execute commands properly, thereby 
        jeopardizing not only the affected member but other members as 
        well.
            (4) While certain types of sensory impairment in combat or 
        other military activities may be readily apparent, otologic 
        injuries such as tinnitus may not be easily noticeable, which 
        necessitates the need for more rigorous screening for tinnitus 
        before and after deployment, and for additional research to 
        distinguish tinnitus from other forms of brain injury incurred 
        during combat.
            (5) Medical evidence to date suggests a demonstrated link 
        between tinnitus and post-traumatic stress disorder and 
        traumatic brain injury, such that improved understanding of 
        treatment of tinnitus may also directly advance research 
        efforts to address post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic 
        brain injury.
            (6) Improving the treatment and prevention of tinnitus will 
        benefit all members of the Armed Forces who are increasingly at 
        risk of injury from high-decibel equipment or explosive 
        devices.

SEC. 3. CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR THE STUDY OF TINNITUS.

        treat, and cure tinnitus, including studies on the neurological 
        changes in the brain associated with tinnitus.
            (3) To coordinate research activities with the Defense 
        Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic 
        Brain Injury in order to establish a tinnitus data registry for 
        members of the Armed Forces affected with tinnitus and other
