British Tinnitus Association

We offer a variety of different tinnitus services, including a unique tinnitus helpline 0800 018 0527 and online support at www.tinnitus.org.uk. We are dedicated to finding a cure for tinnitus.

This Year's Theme: Isolation

At the British Tinnitus Association, we often hear callers to the helpline, or delegates at events speak about how alone they feel with the condition.

Our chief executive, David Stockdale, told us: “When people hear the word tinnitus, they tend to only think about the condition’s main symptom – the noise people hear in their ears or their head. However, the wider impact tinnitus can have on people’s lives is less understood by the public and GPs alike. Many people feel isolated and unable to talk to their loved ones, friends or colleagues about their condition and we want this to change”.
