Mr JR, Falkirk - Tinnitus for over 15 years, 6 weeks after commencing treatment “I’ve not got it now!” December 2015

Have you ever noticed a ringing or hissing noise in your ears, or thought that there was an engine running outside your house? For many it's a high pitched sizzle or buzzing, for some it’s like a "Jet Engine" whooshing around without anyone else noticing! For anyone who relates to this article it’s a very personal sound that's hard to fully define. The medical term is "Tinnitus" and for some it can completely disrupt their lives, making it difficult to work, sleep, socialise or concentrat­e on simple tasks. Tinnitus may be triggered by noise, an underlying illness or in a large number of cases, by age-related hearing loss. It can occur at any age but those over 50 are twice as likely to suffer from it and a visit to the GP often results in being told there is “no cure” and that it’s just in their head and it will probably get better! For those with a chronic condition however it can be devastatin­g! If your GP has considered your general health and checked for medical conditions then The Invisible Hearing Clinic are happy to offer you specialise­d help to let you get on with your life without the burden that chronic tinnitus often inflicts! Tinnitus often has both audiologic­al and neurologic­al components and we examine what aspects of treatment are likely to prove most beneficial to you. The good news is that the majority of patients commencing treatment with The Invisible Hearing Clinic, have clinically significan­t benefit within a short period, leading to the point that Tinnitus is no longer an issue.
