Trevor Andrews of Sivantos Hearing UK talks about tinnitus
During the years, I’ve been building up The Tinnitus Clinic, I have come across some very passionate people working in audiology and hearing loss.
Building the Tinnitus Clinic
The Tinnitus Clinic started business in 2011. Since then we’ve grown, helping thousands of patients to a better quality of life. We don’t do this only through sourcing and using the very best technologies available but also through the skills, expertise and commitment of others.
Easing your tinnitus during flight
During what was a beautiful summer in many parts of the UK, our office chat turned to holidays. Kathryn Paynter, who is a Senior Clinical Audiologist at The Tinnitus Clinic working in Cheltenham and Bristol started to outline some general tips about flying when you have tinnitus.
The Silver Bullet?
We are often asked if we can supply a pill to cure tinnitus. It’s the answer many patents would prefer. If we have a headache we take an aspirin. Back pain, take an anti-inflammatory. Tinnitus … No pill.
Silent Bird Song?
Bird watching is something I came to recently as a hobby. I have been an avid hill walker and was aware of birds as I roamed the beautiful peaks of Sheffield and Scotland. I could at a push, probably have recognised and named twenty.
Take Action
Action on Hearing Loss wrote a report in 2015 called ‘Hearing Matters’. I am sharing the key recommendations of this report on my blog because I believe it is very important that we all promote the needs of the hard of hearing and people with tinnitus.
Research in tinnitus
In 2012, Action on Hearing Loss submitted written evidence to the Parliamentary Committee on Science and Technology.
Clinically effective tinnitus treatments – the now, not tomorrow!
Tinnitus is a combination of symptoms; the most common being the hissing, buzzing or whistling sounds which patients report hearing. With no external noise creating these sounds, so no means of ‘switching the noise off’, patients’ understandably get increasingly stressed and anxious about what is happening to them.
Action Plan on Hearing Loss 2015
After every election there are many promises made which we are assured will definitely lead to improvements on any number of issues. I don’t envy our politicians and civil servants in trying to decide what the spending priorities are. Housing? Education? Roads? Hearing?
The Dangers of Cycling
Over 2 million people in Britain are now cycling at least once a week, with over half a million of those being women.
