This address is a suite or unit (STE 500). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• TINNITUS RESEARCH FUNDING: THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE ATA'S 29-MEMBER SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE, COMPOSED OF PROMINENT TINNITUS RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS, RECOMMENDED THAT THE ATA BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE SEVEN GRANT APPLICATIONS, TOTAL $524,917, AS A PART OF ATA'S INNOVATIVE TINNITUS RESEARCH GRANTS PROGRAM. TINNITUS RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD CAN APPLY TO ATA FOR SEED GRANT MONEY TO TEST INNOVATIVE SCIENTIFIC IDEAS OR TOOLS FOR IMPROVED PATIENT CARE, WHICH ISN'T AVAILABLE THROUGH TRADITIONAL FUNDING AGENCIES THAT TYPICALLY REQUIRE PROOF-OF-CONCEPT DATA. IF A HYPOTHESIS IS SOUND OR THE TOOL IS CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT, RESEARCHERS CAN THEN SEEK MORE SUBSTANTIVE FUNDING FROM AGENCIES SUCH AS THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH) AND THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION (NSF). IN THIS WAY, ATA FILLS A CRITICAL VOID THAT ADVANCES INNOVATIVE SCIENCE AND PROGRESS TOWARD BREAKTHROUGHS AND POSSIBLE CURES. SINCE 1981, ATA HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $7 MILLION IN GRANTS THAT HAVE YIELDED IMPORTANT OUTCOMES IN IMPROVED TINNITUS CARE AND UNDERSTANDING OF TINNITUS MECHANISMS THAT REVEAL THE COMPLEX NATURE OF THIS COMPLEX, HETEROGENEOUS CONDITION. THREE TRAVEL AND CONFERENCE AWARDS TOTALING $3,000 WERE DISTRIBUTED TO EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS AND STUDENTS TO SUPPORT THE RISING GENERATION OF RESEARCHERS INTERESTED IN TINNITUS. BY ENABLING YOUNG INVESTIGATORS TO ATTEND CONFERENCES TO PRESENT WORK, ATA IS FACILITATING PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT AND CRITICAL NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES, WHICH ARE NEEDED TO RETAIN YOUNG INVESTIGATORS IN THE FIELD.

ATA DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL ADVICE OR ENDORSE SPECIFIC TREATMENTS AND PRODUCTS; HOWEVER, BY DIRECTING PEOPLE TO RELEVANT INFORMATION, APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND SUPPORT, THE PROGRAM ENSURES THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE GIVEN MEANINGFUL DIRECTION, WHICH CAN BE LIFE ALTERING IN MANY INSTANCES. TO HELP INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH TINNITUS, ATA HOSTS 25 SUPPORT GROUPS (IN PERSON, ONLINE, AND HYBRID) ON ITS PLATFORM. WHILE EACH GROUP IS INDEPENDENT, SHARED GOALS INCLUDE PROVIDING A NURTURING, SAFE, EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT TO EXPLORE THE TINNITUS EXPERIENCE. FOR INDIVIDUALS SEEKING ONE-ON-ONE GUIDANCE, ATA HAS A NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF 73 PEER-TO-PEER VOLUNTEERS WHO EMAIL AND/OR SPEAK WITH INDIVIDUALS TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE LIVING WITH TINNITUS.

BY COLLABORATING WITH A WELL-KNOWN COMPANY, THE EFFORT FACILITATED AWARENESS OF TINNITUS, ITS PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF ATA'S FREE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT. AS A CONDITION THAT FEW PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF UNTIL IT IMPACTS THEM DIRECTLY OR SOMEONE THEY KNOW, SUCH COORDINATED PUBLIC OUTREACH HELPS FACILITATE ATA'S MISSION OF PREVENTION, GREATER AWARENESS, AND CULTIVATION OF AN ATTITUDE OF COMPASSION TOWARD THOSE SUFFERING FROM TINNITUS. ATA ALSO PARTNERED FOR A SECOND YEAR WITH A LEADING PROFESSIONAL BASS ANGLER AND CELEBRITIES TO RAISE AWARENESS OF TINNITUS AND FUNDS FOR ATA. THE TENNESSEE-BASED EVENT ATTRACTED PARTICIPANTS FROM ACROSS THE U.S. TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CELEBRITY PRO-AM FISHING TOURNAMENT AND CONCERT.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
