Tinnitus on BBC Breakfast TV programme

This might be of interest to the community. I don't often put Breakfast TV on in the morning as I'm usually dashing out. Anyway, for some reason I did. Guess what? Tinnitus was mentioned in a medical research study about diseases and aging. Imperial College, London. If you go onto BBC iPlayer and go to 08.18 you will see the clip. Fergus Walsh, BBC medical editor, took part in the trials.

You will then watch him and professor Naomi Allen, in the studio and who is running the study, mentions the genetic disposition of certain diseases (such as Tinnitus). It's very interesting.

Good discussion point for this community.

As Pink6- says, this is a feature on the UK Biobank, which is scanning and collating data from subjects over a long period of time to gain insight into conditions which affect various demographics, with tinnitus given a brief but helpful mention -
