DC/MD Support Group,
It’s spring! (-ish) One great thing to look forward to: soon, the city’s lovely fountains will be turned back on and create lots of calming sound refuges.
Stand by for announcement of the next meeting. In the meantime – for anyone who may be new to Tinnitus/ Hyperacusis…you likely have seen an ENT for your diagnosis, and yet may not know where to go next. The American Tinnitus Association is based in our area; be sure to explore all the resources on www.ata.org. Join the ATA to support research and to receive the ATA magazine, Tinnitus Today:

Take a look at Clinical Practice Guidelines: Tinnitus. It’s a flow chart of Tinnitus treatment for doctors to follow, so is a good guide:
