Website of the week

www.tinnitus.org.uk The British Tinnitus Association strives to be the primary source of support and information for people with tinnitus and their carers in the UK, and to advocate on their behalf.

It aims to encourage prevention through an educational programme and to seek effective management of tinnitus through medical research. The BTA also works towards finding cures for the condition.

On its website the charity suggests coping strategies. It also explains about loudness, and reveals when everyday sounds become dangerous.
