Abstract

Tinnitus exerts negative influences upon the quality of life for more than 50 million people in the United States. Through its mission and resources, the American Tinnitus Association (ATA) offers support and hope for these many individuals who are burdened by this condition. ATA provides patients a range of clinical referral services and informational resources and also funds researchers and clinical scientists whose work supports tinnitus management strategies and potential curative approaches. ATA also provides hearing healthcare practitioners support services that foster a sense of community among providers, intended to enhance accessibility and improve outcomes for patients from all parts of the country.
