Special Donors and Tributes


Thank you to all of our donors. Your generosity and commitment make possible ATA’s continuing effort to support innovative tinnitus research – investigations that are searching for improved tinnitus treatments, and eventually a cure. We greatly appreciate each and every ATA member. Without you, there would not be an American Tinnitus Association. All contributions to the American Tinnitus Association are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law. For more information about giving to ATA, please contact Wes Breazeale at (800) 634-8978 x224 or wes@ata.org. In order to provide you with plenty of information in Tinnitus Today, we display Supporting Donors ($100-499) year- round on ATA’s website at ATA.org/about-ata/donor-recognition. We recognize all $100+ donors in the Spring issue of Tinnitus Today for the previous calendar year.

SoundCure’s Serenade® device is a novel sound therapy platform used by audiologists to treat tinnitus. Serenade consists of a handheld acoustic stimuli generator, earphones, and pleasant treatment sounds that are intended to address the underlying cause of tinnitus. A suite of three different types of sounds is included, enabling the audiologist to determine the specific clinical approach that is most likely to be effective for each patient. Unlike most treat- ment methodologies, Serenade is customizable, and can be programmed to meet the unique needs of each patient, day or night.


Established in 2009 to commercialize the technol- ogy developed for years at the University of California, Irvine (partially funded by an ATA grant.)
