Unclear notability, vaguely (but not blatantly) promotional, all the sources except for two are from the ATA's website itself. Of those two, this one from audiologyonline.com was written by "Cheryl McGinnis, MBA, Executive Director of the American Tinnitus Association." The Better Business Bureau one does nothing but confirm it exists and is a 501(c)(3) organization. Additionally the section titled "The Scientific Advisory Committee" is a close paraphrase of the first paragraph of its source (found here) c y m r u . l a s s  (talk me, stalk me) 17:10, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Hundreds of hits at Google News. Hundreds more at Google Books and at Google Scholar.  This is a mainstream organization, quoted and referenced frequently in articles and literature about tinnitus.  The tone and content of the article needs work, but that's a subject for editing, not AfD.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:02, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'll take Arxiloxos' research in good faith and back his arguments for the keeping of this article. Berek (talk) 22:20, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Non-profit organization established 40 years ago. Copious Google hits. Cited on US Government's Healthfinder.gov website. Seemingly an easy KEEP call here. Carrite (talk) 05:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
