Living with tinnitus can impact much more than hearing, shaping how people sleep, focus, communicate and feel day to day.
In a study of 478 people with tinnitus, Tinnitus UK found that more than 8 in 10 had experienced low mood or anxiety, with around 7 in 10 reporting feelings of hopelessness or helplessness.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone - and it’s okay to acknowledge the emotional impact tinnitus can have.
Support and understanding can make a real difference. Organisations like offer trusted information and a sense of community for people navigating tinnitus.
Taking even one small step towards support can help.
