| ABSTRACT |
|
This paper reviewed the tinnitus associations in the U.S.A., Australia, United Kingdom, European Federation, and one
tinnitus research initiative. The American Tinnitus Association (ATA), which was the first tinnitus association in the
world established in 1971, has pursued to find a cure for tinnitus and funded vital tinnitus research. The ATA
provides informational brochures. The British Tinnitus Association (BTA) aims to support tinnitus patients and to seek
effective management of tinnitus. The BTA offers several education programs for clinicians dealing with tinnitus
patients in addition to fund tinnitus research. Moreover, the BTA offers direct counsel to tinnitus patients on the
phone, and publishes twenty one of informal leaflets. In Australia, two of four tinnitus associations were reviewed;
The Australian Tinnitus Association (ATA, Australia TA) and Tinnitus South Association (Tinnitus SA). The Australia
TA provides the information about tinnitus, supports tinnitus patients, publishes a tinnitus magazine, and informs
people tinnitus treatments through their home page. The Tinnitus SA was established by support of government of
South Australia on the purpose of informing people about tinnitus. The Tinnitus SA provides an on-line tinnitus
questionnaire, and off-line counselling for patients. The European Federation of Tinnitus Association (EUTI) was
recently formed by tinnitus associations from 18 countries within Europe in order to cooperate to help patients. The
Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) has been established by some research institutes in several countries in order to
perform cooperative research and share the results. However, in Korea, there is no tinnitus association except one
formed by Korean veteran, which has no information about tinnitus. Considering increasing number of tinnitus patients
in Korea, the tinnitus association for helping patients and leading research should be formed in the near future. |
