Note from the group leader(s):
"I plan to present the results of the online Tinnitus Survey which had over 550 responses from people all over the country. I believe this information can be very valuable and assist the professional community in understanding how tinnitus affects one's life and direct people toward appropriate treatments and coping strategies. Research continues to look for a cure but until that time we need to obtain information that is reliable and valid in order to make decisions about the best way to help manage our tinnitus.

We will also demo a new sound machine that, in addition to the white noise, ocean waves and 10 other sounds, has a separate sound card with a focus on high frequency tinnitus pitches referred to as "Tinnitus Therapy Sounds".

Questions and discussions are always a part of our tinnitus group and we encourage everyone to share his/her concerns. 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.

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