Meet Jack A. Vernon, Ph.D.

It was 1971, and Jack A. Vernon, Ph.D., a longtime champion of tinnitus patients, was conducting clinical research at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon. He was visited by Dr. Charles Unice, a California physician and tinnitus sufferer who was desperate for relief from tinnitus. Dr. Unice helped Dr. Vernon understand and develop the concept behind what we all know today as tinnitus masking - and together the two founded the American Tinnitus Association. Its aim – to raise money to fund tinnitus research – endures today.

Read more about this extraordinary man who helped ATA become the organization it is today.

Satellite Events

Some members have either inquired about hosting an event in conjunction with the Walk, or have actually planned a satellite Walk themselves. As details of the events are available, they will be posted here on the site. In addition, if you would like some information on how to plan your own event, please visit our Satellite Events page.
