Today is World Hearing Day, and we are highlighting the importance of caring for your ears and protecting your hearing to make sure you can live well with Tinnitus.

If you have Tinnitus, it can be difficult to go to busy areas such as a Restaurant or a concert due to the volume. Using Hearing protection can help with attending busy areas.

There are also a number of techniques and tips for managing your tinnitus to reduce stress, improve sleep and more.

Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences this evening as we explored:

1. Grounding and settling the body to support attention and calm the nervous system.
2. Recognising unhelpful patterns - learning to notice when tinnitus pulls attention into monitoring, worrying, or fighting the sound.
3. Understanding the mind’s response - exploring why these reactions happen, without judgement or self-blame.
4. Reflecting on what helps and what doesn’t- considering the impact of different coping strategies and where energy is best spent.
5. Re-engaging with valued activities - building confidence to stay involved in everyday life alongside tinnitus.

🙏

For our first concert at Union Chapel, Quiet Night Out, we have been working proactively to prioritise audience comfort and hearing health throughout the planning process to ensure those with Tinnitus and sound sensitivity are in a safe listening environment.

At the centre of our approach is alignment with the World Health Organization’s Global Standard for Safe Listening at Venues and Events, which sets out evidence-based recommendations to reduce the risk of hearing damage while preserving a high-quality listening experience.
