Torryn P. Brazell, MS, CAE has been nominated the new Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the American Tinnitus Association (ATA).

New Executive Director and COO at the American Tinnitus Association

ATA is a non-profit organization in the United States committed to improving the lives of people with tinnitus and hyperacusis through education, advocacy, and research activities. It is also involved in prevention programs. The association has been operating since 1971 and has its headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Estimates indicate that tinnitus may affect up to 50 million people in the United States, according to the group. Other data indicate that some 16 million people in the United States alone suffer from chronic tinnitus and have sought medical attention for the condition.

Brazell joins the ATA after five years as Managing Director of the American Board of Audiology. She has also worked at the National Grants Management Association and holds an MS in Business and Organizational Management.

“My experience working in the audiology space has exposed me to the crisis we are facing in America regarding tinnitus,” Brazell said. “My mother has suffered from tinnitus for years and now uses hearing aids. It is disheartening to imagine that so many people will go through the loss that my mother has. I look forward to working with the ATA’s Board of Directors and staff to help raise awareness about tinnitus and how to prevent it.”

Scott C. Mitchell, Chair of the ATA Board of Directors commented that “With Torryn’s experience working with hearing professionals and her understanding of the tinnitus epidemic, we believe she is the perfect fit to help the ATA fulfill its mission of finding a cure for tinnitus and helping those who suffer from the condition to have a better quality of life.”
