[TinnitusUKPat]

With indecent haste, we're approaching February 2021 and the next annual Tinnitus Week. I know, I know - how is it December already?

As part of the build-up, our campaigns manager Emily would love you to get in touch with her and share your experiences of seeing GPs about tinnitus - good, bad and neutral.

Share your stories with her via [e-mail]

When I asked GP six years ago to be referred for hearing aid assessment he asked whether I had T and I stated ‘yes’. The referral letter said I did NOT have T. By the time I had the audiology appointment it was found I had cancer so I didn’t bother the audiologist with it. After three years I had an audio review and did mention I had T. “How do you deal with it? “ I was asked. “By ignoring it” was my true answer. End of story!
