Tinnitus UK

10% of UK adults have tinnitus. That’s more than 6 million people with a recurrent noise in their head or ears, with no known cause and no cure.

For one in ten (600,000 people), quality of life can be badly affected, leading to problems such as anxiety, depression and sleep deprivation. The British Tinnitus Association are the only national UK charity dedicated to supporting people with tinnitus, and our team has over 70 years of experience with the condition.

We deal with a huge range of issues, offering information about:

• Dealing with symptoms
• Coping strategies
• Signposting people to the best way of accessing support quickly.

We have a free, confidential helpline (0800 0180 527), and a range of useful information leaflets. Our website www.tinnitus.org.uk is also a great place to find out more about tinnitus and how you can cope with it better.

We run free Information Days around the country and gather information about local NHS services available to patients. We manage support groups for people to attend, train medical professionals and commission research into curing and improving treatments for tinnitus.
