ATA WALK TO SILENCE TINNITUS 2012
The Jack Vernon Walk to Silence Tinnitus is an annual fundraising event sponsored by the American Tinnitus Association. 100% of the funds raised by the Walk go to ATA's research fund, which is used to provide grants to tinnitus researchers. The 5K Walk takes place in Portland, Oregon, where Jack Vernon established ATA as an organization.This year, ATA has secured a matching gift opportunity that will make this event a huge success. For every donation of $25 or more, ATA will receive a donation of twice that amount. So for example, a donation of $50 would receive a matching gift of $100, for a grand total of $150 going to their research fund. Your support of the event will be dramatically magnified.
For more information, or to make a donation to the Walk, please visit Walk.ATA.org

3rd in the International State-of-the-Science Meeting Series
Tinnitus is often associated with acoustic trauma and head injuries that are prevalent with blast-related injuries and is the number one service-connected disability for veterans.
This meeting was a collaborative effort among the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the DoD Hearing Center of Excellence. The Program Coordinating Office is currently working with a distinguished expert panel of six international tinnitus experts to synthesize findings regarding the neurobiological basis of tinnitus, its association with PTSD and TBI, and current approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

A new study at the University of Michigan Health System, which was co-sponsored by the Tinnitus Research Initiative, has shown in an animal experiment, that somatosensory neurons maintain a high level of activity following exposure to loud noise, even after hearing itself returns to normal.
These results mark an important step toward potential relief for people who are suffering from tinnitus, pointed out principal investigator Susan E. Shore, Ph.D., of U-M's Kresge Hearing Research Institute and a professor of otolaryngology and molecular and integrative physiology at the U-M Medical School.
