The Tinnitus Support group will help you to understand your emotional reactions to tinnitus (which may be stress and anxiety) and will help you to retrain your responses to it, as well as advising on ways in which to control your tinnitus. Talking to someone about any anxieties you may have about tinnitus and any sorrow it may cause, can be therapeutic in itself. In many areas there are support groups for tinnitus sufferers where people can expel their frustrations as well as share methods of coping with ringing ears. It may be difficult for individuals who've never had ringing and ear problems to understand the challenges it presents. However tinnitus is very real. It's definitely not a figment of the imagination for millions of people.

Tinnitus is the name given to explain the sensation of any sound in the head or ears. In a gentle form tinnitus is really usual. Almost everyone gets a ringing in the ears after being exposed to very loud sounds, such as at a music concert. About 10% of the adult population has tinnitus commonly or continually. Tinnitus may be described as many different sounds - perhaps ringing, whistling, buzzing or humming - which can be perceived in different ways. For some people it can even sound like music or singing. The noise or noises can vary from being hardly audible to a noise as loud as a raised voice. Sometimes it can beat in time with your pulse (this is known as pulsatile tinnitus). For some people, even calm tinnitus can still be heard in a noisy background. Tinnitus may be constant, or interrupted by periods of quiet.

Tinnitus can occur in many different ways. It can be sensed as a single sound or noise in one ear, or in both ears - and a different sound or noise in each ear. It may also sound as if it is coming from several locations inside the head. It may become worse or better at different times of the day. It may change in pitch or even come and go at random. Some people say they have difficulty going to sleep or sleeping because of the tinnitus, whilst others say that sleep is the only relief they get from it. The older we become, the more liable we become to hearing loss and tinnitus. The natural 'wear and tear' on the ears can be accelerated significantly by a noisy environment. The damage is temporary at first, but if the ears are not sufficiently protected, this will quickly become permanent. Many of the reasons are not fully understood, but some are well known.

As yet there is no medical cure for tinnitus, and for this cause it needs to be managed from a therapeutic angle. Information, advice and support are the best medicines for tinnitus, and belonging to a group is one way of receiving a usual dose!
