Note from the group leader(s):
"May is Better Hearing and Speech Month and the week of May 13-19 is Tinnitus Awareness Week. The purpose of these designations is to raise public awareness of tinnitus and speech, hearing and language disorders and to raise funds for research and facilities that provide help for people with these problems.

We encourage you to share your knowledge and understanding of tinnitus and hearing related problems with others. You can check on the American Tinnitus Association's website for activities for this month and come to our support group meetings where we share our experiences and learn from each other.

The spring issue of Tinnitus Today is out and has some interesting articles that we will review. We will also discuss some new interesting research articles on tinnitus and the latest information on 'The Prevalence of Tinnitus in the United States and the Self-reported Efficacy of Various Treatments'.

Our meetings are free and open to the public and provide support for people with tinnitus and hyperacusis and their significant others. Current information on tinnitus treatments are presented along with discussion of coping with and managing the problems associated with tinnitus and hyperacusis.

I am giving a power point presentation on tinnitus on Saturday, June 23 in Cupertino. Please contact me for details if you are interested in attending this meeting.

Please let us know if you will be attending the meeting. ~Malvina Levy, Au.D. and Tracy Peck, Au.D."
