Finding a cure for tinnitus is ATA’s number-one priority. Research will get us there. Over the last 10 years, scientists have made tremendous advances in figuring out what causes tinnitus and how to treat it.

ATA is dedicated to finding and funding the best and brightest tinnitus researchers to speed up our progress toward finding a cure for tinnitus. Find out how you can support tinnitus research to help speed our progress toward finding a cure. 

Scientific Advisory Committee

This distinguished committee crafted ATA’s Roadmap to a Cure and is the body that reviews all research grants submitted for ATA funding.  

Roadmap to a Cure

ATA's Scientific Advisory Committee designed a Roadmap to get us closer to a cure. It specifically maps out what we need to find and the steps to get there.
