The ATA's many programs are organized under the aptly named acronym E.A.R.S.: Education, Advocacy, Research, and Support. Programs are designed to meet the needs of tinnitus patients across the country and support the ATA mission to silence tinnitus.
Tinnitus can be described as 'ringing' ears and other head noises that are perceived in the absence of any external noise source ->a description from the t-faq webpage.
