ATA Tinnitus Awareness Week 2014

Hits: 7827

Tinnitus Awareness Week 2014, 18^th - 24^th May, is promoted by the American Tinnitus Association.

Tinnitus is a ringing, humming, buzzing, or other sound in your head or ears that does not have an external source. The sound originates from within your head. About 10% of the population is affected by tinnitus - that is almost 0.5 million people in Ireland alone.

earpeace™ provides a full range of support services for patients with tinnitus symptoms. We are currently enrolling new patients for consultations commencing in June. If you or someone you know suffers from tinnitus, now is the time to take steps to improve ones quality of life.

Contact our office to arrange an appointment. Typically a team of healthcare professionals will be involved in the management of tinnitus, e.g., your GP, ENT Consultant (where required) and your earpeace™ Audiologist.

Tinnitus is the unseen condition which can cause distress to individuals of any age. Tinnitus can be mild to severe and can affect sleep and concentration. It can also lead to anxiety and depression and at this time there is currently no absolute cure. However, tinnitus can be managed. The British Tinnitus Association aims to bring awareness to those with tinnitus by:

• encouraging them to talk about their tinnitus and 
• make those with tinntius aware that help is available.

At earpeace™ we believe this is a very worthwhile initiative and we will be undertaking activities in the coming weeks to support tinnitus awareness.
