The ATA Scientific Advisory Committee is a group of volunteer researchers and clinicians who review grant applications for tinnitus research funding. After their review, SAC members make recommendations to the ATA Board of Directors on which studies should be funded. Many SAC members are researchers, and several have applied for and received ATA grants, but they must excuse themselves from deliberations on their own submitted grants or on grants from their affiliated hospitals or universities because of conflict of interest

By listening to the therapeutic sound pattern through headphones for just 30 minutes, three times a week* at a convenient, quiet location of the patient’s choosing, patients obtain relief from their tinnitus on an on-going basis. Clinical testing and recently-published scientific studies have shown that this treatment can generate prolonged periods of residual inhibition — the length of time after treatment that patients are symptom-free — of up to a week or more. This is a significant advance, unmatched by any other known tinnitus therapy.

Preliminary trials have reported improvement in symptoms of tinnitus following acupuncture treatment, but this relief was either not permanent or did not reach statistical significance.16 Most trials have shown no advantage of acupuncture treatment over placebo for the treatment of tinnitus.17 18 19 20 21 22 23 A review of clinical trials concluded that acupuncture is not an effective treatment for tinnitus.24
