Tinnitus affects around 7.1 million people in the UK and yet it's still one of the most misunderstood hearing conditions out there. 👂
It's the ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whooshing sound you hear when there's no external source. For some people it's occasional. For others, it's there every single day.
Some things to know:
🔔 Tinnitus isn't a condition in itself, it's usually a symptom. It can be triggered by noise exposure, ear wax, ear infections, stress, or hearing loss.
🔔 It cannot always be 'cured' but it can almost always be managed. Many people find that once they understand what's happening, it becomes far less distressing.
🔔 It often goes hand-in-hand with hearing loss. Treating the underlying hearing problem can significantly reduce tinnitus symptoms.
🔔 You don't have to just put up with it. If tinnitus is affecting your sleep, concentration, or wellbeing, please do come and talk to us.
