Tinnitus News

Mark Williams, Chief Audiologist at The Tinnitus Clinic, will deliver the keynote address on the first day of the International Hearing Aid Conference and Expo on Audiology and Hearing Devices on August 17th and 18th in Birmingham, UK. 

Following The Tinnitus Clinic’s report on the need to protect our hearing from recreational noise, we were pleased to read about an emerging product called HearAngel.

The chance of an improved life for six million people in the UK living with tinnitus is offered by an extensive study published this week.

Run by Lorraine Tipler of Hearing Help Ltd, this group provides support for people with tinnitus in Lincoln and the surrounding area. The Group holds regular monthly meetings at the Priory Centre in Lincoln, to allow members to hear from speakers working in tinnitus-related fields.

A new product claiming to reduce the impact of tinnitus will be launching in the UK later this year. The device, aptly named the "Mutebutton", includes headphones and a lollipop-like device that sits on your tongue.

Noise levels recorded inside several night clubs and bars were between 85-100 decibels - well above with the UK's Health Executive recommended safe level of 84 decibels. The readings were taken as part of Noise Action Week by The Tinnitus Clinic.

People in the South West of England and Wales can now look forward to better access to the Tinnitus Clinics’ evidence-based tinnitus treatments.  Following on from the success people have had with treatments from The Tinnitus Clinic we have seen growing demand from people across the country and are pleased to announce the opening of a new consulting room in Bristol.

A new patient study on Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation, conducted by our Chief Audiologist Mark Williams and colleagues from the UK and Germany, has been published in the international peer reviewed journal, Frontiers in Neurology. 

Krysta Callander is a PhD student in the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, Australia and is investigating the impact of sound sensitivity on a global scale. She has created an online survey for people who experience this condition to help to identify the similarities and differences between hearing symptoms. This in turn will raise awareness of these auditory conditions and aid the diagnostic process. Information relating to Krysta's survey is shown below.

In 2014, Nottingham University Hospitals Trust (NUH) took the difficult decision not to publish the results of the long awaited double blind clinical trial into the efficacy of Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation which was run at Nottingham Hearing Biomedical Research Unit, a partner of NUH. 

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with the London Road Hearing Centre, which will bring The Tinnitus Clinic’s range of evidence-based treatments to people living with tinnitus in Leicester and the surrounding areas.

Here at The Tinnitus Clinic, we regularly receive enquiries about our evidence-based tinnitus treatments from across the UK. We understand that not everyone who is interested in these treatments is able to travel to our Harley Street, Altrincham or Birmingham clinics. Therefore, in response to demand, we have now opened new consulting rooms in Edinburgh and Cheltenham.
