TINNITUS RESOURCES
Tinnitus Support Group Listings People with tinnitus at every stage in their journey, from the first few days to many years later, can benefit from membership in a support group. Every tinnitus support group operates somewhat differently; but they all share a passion for providing meaningful discussion and a caring environment where one can be understood through shared experience. Below is a list of groups and meeting dates, current at time of print. To reconfirm dates and times, please email/call the point-of-contact person listed.
Support Groups Holding Online Zoom Meetings If your regular support group is not meeting virtually during the coronavirus pandemic, consider joining a virtual one to stay connected with other members of the tinnitus community.
