The ATA has been there when I have needed them in the past. I first ran across them online when I was searching for info about my tinnitus, and then followed up with them for more information. They sent a great info packet and I did wind up sending in my membership money. I figured it was a pretty good deal, and I was right! I have been happy with the magazine (Tinnitus Today) and get some good email updates as well. I am hoping that our support will lead to a cure soon, and the research that the ATA funds (and helps get the Gov't to fund!) seems to be getting closer and closer. I hope to one day be able to enjoy "silence" again.
