Tinnitus can be defined as a “ringing, buzzing, humming, pulsing or whistling” in one or both ears. 

Approximately 13% of people live with persistent tinnitus (British Tinnitus Association, 2019). 

Many people who experience bothersome tinnitus are often left feeling ‘helpless’ due to a lack of specialised services and support available. 

There is no “magic pill” for tinnitus, but there are active steps that can be taken to reduce its burden or impact on everyday life.
