A Salute to Silence: National Tinnitus Awareness Week is May 19-25, 2013
04/17/13 8:43 am
PORTLAND, Ore., April 16, 2013 -- The American Tinnitus Association (ATA) announced today that National Tinnitus Awareness Week (TAW) will be celebrated May 19 - 25, 2013. This year, ATA is saluting members of the United States military and all our veterans who have selflessly served, because they suffer from tinnitus disproportionately from the rest of the civilian population.
Do you have a smartphone? Or maybe you have an actual sound meter? If so, then you can help us collect information about all the loud places people are exposed to in every day experiences in order to raise awareness of noise, hearing loss and tinnitus.
Stress is a natural response to many of life’s experiences. And for many people, tinnitus can be disruptive and stress-inducing. It is very helpful for individuals with tinnitus to learn how to reduce the negative effects of stress, like agitation, depression, insomnia, and learn how to cope with the sounds. Examine how you live to find ways to eliminate or reduce some stress in different parts of your life; as stress and tinnitus often go hand-in-hand.
Finding a cure for tinnitus is ATA’s mission and research is what’s going to get us there.
Over the last 10 years, scientists have made tremendous advances in figuring out what causes tinnitus and ways to treat it. And many of these advances have been made through human clinical trials.
