What kind of tinnitus research is being done?
Research funded by the American Tinnitus Association focuses on two main areas: mechanisms and management. “Tinnitus mechanisms” research explores what the condition is about, where it occurs, how it occurs—the who, what, where, when, and why questions. “Tinnitus management” research looks into treatments available, how well those treatments work, and how they compare to one another. The ATA attempts to find a balance between the two types of research. Read more about tinnitus research in the ATA Research section.
