Committed to a Cure
Dear Friends,
Nothing in life prepared me for the experience of tinnitus. Five years ago, after having
Nothing in life prepared me for the experience of tinnitus. Five years ago, after having
hip replacement surgery, all of a sudden I had a loud ringing in my ear that would not
go away. My doctors told me, “You have tinnitus, and there is no cure for it.”
You know what I mean when I say that tinnitus affects everything in one’s life.
You know what I mean when I say that tinnitus affects everything in one’s life.
You know how those first months of living with tinnitus are.
No words can adequately explain the agony and confusion.
Tinnitus was extremely difficult to deal with in the beginning. But with the American
Tinnitus was extremely difficult to deal with in the beginning. But with the American
Tinnitus Association’s help, and the right management tools, I’m learning to push my
tinnitus into the background – at least on most days. I have tried to change my
perceptions of my tinnitus – I started to think of it as different types of music in my
ear, or I would even say to myself that it was angels singing. Whatever it took to put
myself in a better frame of mind. I never realized how valuable silence was until it was
taken away from me.
ATA cares deeply and is determined to bring silence back into our lives. But they can’t do that without our help. Will you help me in this important fight? My daughter, Jennifer, was the number one ranked women’s tennis player in the world, but even she did not do it on her own. She had the talent and drive to succeed – as well as the love and support of her family and some of the best coaching available. We need to think of the search for a cure in the same way. We are the rising stars and ATA is the loving family who provides support. What we need most are those professionals that fill in the rest of the story – the researchers. This can only be done with increased funding!
ATA’s work is critical to finding a cure for tinnitus. Its committed staff and volunteers need and deserve our help. The world’s best researchers are very optimistic that a cure is on the horizon! An article that I recently read described how some brain scans can now actually see where the sound is coming from in the brain. My initial reaction was simply one word, “Wow.” It is reports like these that make me hopeful, while at the same time drive home how important ATA’s efforts are in the fight to cure tinnitus.
The future is in our hands. Will we be satisfied with under-funded efforts, making a cure possible in only in the next generation or two? I say NO! The American Tinnitus Association knows what needs to be done now, and it is in our power to make it happen. Let’s take action together. Please join me in making a very generous donation to ATA so that we are doing what we can to bring back silence in our lifetime.
Please give generously in the knowledge that you are making a special contribution to create a better life for yourself and for the millions upon millions counting on ATA to make a difference. Help us hit an ace against tinnitus and win the fight – Game, Set and Match!
Thank you so very much.

“My mom is an amazing person, and she’s always been one who enjoys life. I cannot accept that she will suffer from tinnitus for the rest of her life - there has to be a cure! We need the top scientists on board trying to find a cure. And this requires funding for research. That is why we are helping the ATA.” - Jennifer Capriati |
