Tinnitus

 

The Tinnitus Team at Ropewalk House remain committed to supporting our patients to live well with tinnitus during these challenging times.

 

If you are an existing patient and need to speak to a team member please contact us and we will arrange a call back during office hours.

 

Remember there are many things you can do to help manage your 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.
