Dear Reader, February is a month when charities and organisations working in tinnitus focus on this long term condition and work together to inform people with tinnitus about what can be done. This year The Tinnitus Clinic will be at an information day being run by the British Tinnitus Association in Newcastle on Saturday 3rd February. You can find more information on the BTA’s website. Many of you will have heard about the new legislation aimed at keeping our personal data secure in this electronic age. We take your privacy and personal data very seriously and have issued a new Privacy Statement which is on our website and can be reached here. In this issue of Tune In, we hear from Veteran soldier Harris Tatakis who, after being injured whilst serving in Afghanistan, said that out of all of his injuries it was tinnitus that affected him most. Find out how we were able to help him through using a mixture of Tinnitus Desensitisation Therapy™ (TDT) and Levo®. We also highlight some exciting new research from scientists in the United States who have developed a device that could stop tinnitus through 'resetting' brain cells. This supports the science behind our neuromodulation treatments we already supply and we are looking forward to hearing more about this research in the future. It has always been our aim to make it as easy as possible for people across the UK to access the best clinical care and tinnitus treatments we provide so we are delighted to be opening new clinics in Newcastle in February and in Salisbury in April. If you have any issues you would like us to cover in future issues of Tune In, please email us and let us know. You can use the form here. Best wishes Josephine Swinhoe Managing Director P.S. You can find out about all our treatments and request an appointment on the website or call our Freephone number 0800 030 6617.

Birmingham DJ Richard Gillis Gets Peace Of Mind From The Tinnitus Clinic "After taking up DJing in 2016, I started to develop a mild form of tinnitus due to being around constant loud music. The help and advice I received from Sylvia Kewish, Clinic Manager and Clinical Audiologist, at The Tinnitus Clinic in Birmingham I found to be very beneficial.” “I think this is a smart idea for any DJ or performing musician who regularly performs with loud music" Read Richard's Story

"If we can stop these signals, we can stop tinnitus." We’ve started 2018 more energised than usual thanks to the publication of some exciting new research. Scientists in America have published a paper into the use of a current experimental device that ‘resets’ the brain cells in a small group of tinnitus sufferers.
