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.
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.
