Tinnitus Support Group

The Audiology Department runs a very popular Tinnitus Support Group. The primary purpose of the group is to provide mutual support for people with tinnitus as well as their families.

Tinnitus occurs where a person hears sounds, such as ringing or hissing or buzzing in the ear, when there is no external source. Most people learn to live with tinnitus, but it can often have a significant impact on day-to-day life.For example, it can affect concentration, cause sleep problems and depression.

Speakers will be booked on a regular basis to talk about a topic of interest. The meetings usually take place in the Small Meeting Room, Management Suite, Noble's Hospital (on the first floor near the A & E lifts) from 2:30pm to 4pm. It meets on the last Thursday of each month.
