Tinnitus UK
Tinnitus is the perception of noises in the head and/or ear which have no external source, it is often described as buzzing or ringing in the ears. The British Tinnitus Association's vision is a world where no one suffers from tinnitus.
Sound therapy:
If the noises seem louder at night or quiet times, it may help to have some natural or gentle sound from an app, CD, sound generator or even a fan or ticking clock in the background.
Hearing aids:
If you wear hearing aids, use them. Even if you feel you can hear at home without them, hearing aids can help both your hearing and your tinnitus.
Relaxation:
Learning to relax properly is probably one of the most useful things you can do. If you have a smart phone, there are some excellent free relaxation apps available.
