ATA's Roadmap to a Cure: Guiding the Way Toward Silence
07/28/11 12:14 pm
What is the Roadmap to a Cure? Simply, it's a chart that identifies what we know about tinnitus right now and what additional information we need so that we can make progress in developing a cure. The Roadmap is a sequence of steps along four paths- A, B, C & D- that begins with finding out what is responsible for producing tinnitus and ends with a successful tinnitus treatment. Path A leads us to identify where the problem is in the brain.
This morning, NPR's "Morning Edition" featured a story on tinnitus. It covers how it affects a patient, as well the latest in research and treatments.
The story also feature's ATA Member Mark Church; ATA-funded researcher Jay Piccirillo, Ph.D.; and Michael Kilgard, Ph.D., who is working on Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a treatment, or possible cure for tinnitus.
If you are, or know, a teenager or young adult with tinnitus, there is a new Facebook group just for them: "Music-Induced Tinnitus in Teens" (MITT). This page was started by aspiring tinnitus researcher, Gita Bhattacharya, who has tinnitus and is trying to raise awareness about this problem. If you know a young person who may be at risk for developing tinnitus - pass this link along to them!
The 2011 Jack Vernon Walk to Silence Tinnitus is a huge success!
06/27/11 11:56 am
Over $60,000 raised in this year's Walks, and still counting!
The Jack Vernon Walk to Silence Tinnitus was held on June 25 and was a rousing success. The Portland weather cooperated with one of the best days of the year, and all of the Walkers had a great time! We'll add some more photos soon, but in the meantime, enjoy these shots of the Walk!
The Jack Vernon Walk to Silence Tinnitus is the American Tinnitus Association's signature fundraising event. The Walk honors the lifelong work of ATA's founder, Jack A. Vernon, Ph.D., and raises important funds for tinnitus research. 100% of the proceeds will be utilized to fund ATA's research grants. Every $50,000 raised by ATA allows us to award one research grant! Please see below for details on how to sign up for the Walk or support a walker.
An Interview with Gita Bhattacharya and Her Story of Triumph Over Tinnitus
06/06/11 11:48 am
You may remember that earlier in 2011, ATA asked for your participation in an MP3 player use survey. Gita Bhattacharya was the investigator behind that survey. In this interview, she talks about how she became interested in tinnitus and shares the results of her survey.
This year, ATA honored Senator Patty Murray (D, WA) and Representative Phil Roe, (R-1,TN) as their 2010 Congressional Champions. If you are an ATA Member you can read more about this in the Summer 2011 issue of Tinnitus Today. For those of you who are not yet ATA members, here are a few photos from the meeting with these Members of Congress and ATA leadership.
