CBT for tinntius

[Vincentchanhk]

Do you guys know in Audiology in Nhs Service., do they have counselling specifically for Tinnitus?

[Kellythecat-74]

No, not the audiology department , they are for hearing aids. ( at least in my local hospital) Went there today. She did say there is a Tinnitus department in a town near me , but its a bit of a trek to get there. She said she would refer me as they can do sessions online. So i'll give that ago.

Well I really have to ask them next consultation then

Yes but they stay quite hidden. I tried to track one down on the internet but with little success. I asked at Audiology in Cheltenham. They apparently do have a tinnitus clinic but was given a 1 page leaflet instead. However, I have now received a phone in appointment - I have no idea what it is for. I assume it is for a tinnitus consultation. I will keep you posted.

Hi Constantino

The link that you've shared is an NHS link to our Tinnitus UK helpline, which is well signposted both on this forum and our website. It isn't an official NHS audiology resource, just to prevent any misunderstanding.

you can be referred via a GP to a service but it may not be NHS based. Look up Julian Cowan Hill juliancowanhill.co.uk/tinni... he is the best help I have come across.
