Hi All

We've been contacted today by the BBC who are running a story in a few weeks on tinnitus which may have developed after wearing gaming headsets and playing games at high volume levels.

If you have a comment or personal experience of this issue, and want to be considered for inclusion in this feature, please get in touch via the communications@tinnitus.org.uk e-mail address and use the subject line "The One Show - Tinnitus in Gamers" with your message.

Thanks all.

I teach computing in college, including teaching units on our Esports. Is there a deadline? This is a great opportunity to have a discussion with groups. I will discuss this with the college and send an email with thoughts and any findings.

Hi Dave.

Deadlines have not been communicated personally to me, although I initially spoke to the BBC's researcher. Definitely drop a line to Communications@tinnitus.org.uk when you get a chance.
