Health Professionals

Welcome to ATA

Visiting the American Tinnitus Association Web site is an important step for those diagnosing and treating patients with tinnitus. By seeking knowledge about this often-devastating condition, you demonstrate an interest in caring for tinnitus patients, using new tools and exploring helpful information.

Too often, tinnitus patients contacting ATA say they've heard – once again – those dreaded words from their health care professional: "You just have to learn to live with it." Far from being helpful, this phrase increases the isolation and frustration they already feel. They are looking for something that will "stop" the noise or at least help them better manage it – they are looking for hope and answers. 

The #1 Source for Tinnitus Knowledge

ATA has a number of ways you can learn about tinnitus care and provide helpful resources for your patients:

Opportunity to Help Tinnitus Patients

Health care professionals have the opportunity to help tinnitus patients learn how to cope, manage and treat their tinnitus. Tinnitus patients need so much more than just a diagnosis or physical evaluation. They need advice on their health care options, encouragement to try different treatments, and a commitment from you that help and hope are available. 

Professional Membership Program

Join this exciting program and be recognized on the ATA Web site as a professional concerned with tinnitus treatment and research; learn from interaction with experts in the field; obtain materials for your patients and personnel; and much more.
