Coping with Tinnitus

Description

Tinnitus affects up to 20% of all adults in the UK. This common condition can take a range of forms, from the well-known ringing in the ears to whistling, buzzing, loud humming and musical hallucinations. Often associated with the elderly, it can occur at any age, even in young children. Tinnitus can be far more troublesome than hearing loss, affecting sleep, concentration, confidence and mood.
Tinnitus doesn't have to be in control, says Christine Craggs-Hinton, so start taking action today!
