- A Resource About Hearing and Tinnitus

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- A friendly tip from a devoted reader who knows that I share this problem
- with him, has led me to a valuable resource for those who suffer that annoying
- and distracting chirping in the ear that physicians call "Tinnitus". And I
- know there are many of you, for statistics reveal that about 12 million
- Americans have tinnitus in a severe form, and many millions more have it to a
- lesser degree. The American Tinnitus Association, P.O. Box 5, Portland,
- Oregon 97207 was founded in 1971 by Dr. Charles Unice, himself a sufferer from
- severe tinnitus. Devoted to encouraging research in this field, it also
- provides a rich source of information to those who want more knowledge about
- this condition. You can obtain a packet full of material by sending your
- request directly to to the above address, enclosing a stamped, self addressed,
- business sized envelope with 45 cents postage affixed. The booklet "Noise:
- Its Effects on Hearing and Tinnitus" is certainly one you should study
- carefully, and then pass on to younger relatives, as an educational effort
- that may help them avoid the whistling in the ear you may be hearing as you
- read this.
