Physician

• The best place to find information about tinnitus is with your physician. Start with an ear, nose and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) or a doctor who specializes in ears (otologist).
  
  

Internet

• A great deal of information about tinnitus can be found on the Internet, but it is important to seek information from trustworthy sites. Many sites are simply trying to sell "miracle" cures.
  
  

American Tinnitus Association

• A good place to start on the Internet would be the American Tinnitus Association (www.ata.org). In addition to information, the Association will help you find a health professional.
  
  

American Hearing Research Foundation

• The American Hearing Research Foundation is an excellent source for information (http://www.american-hearing.org/index.html). The foundation has two goals: fund research in hearing and balance problems and public education.
  
  

NIDCD

• Another great source is the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/).
