What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a noise generated inside the ears, it can be a buzzing noise, a ringing, a whistle, or even music. Sometimes it can be a quiet sound that lasts for a few seconds. Sometimes it can be very loud and last for a very long time.

Unfortunately there is no cure for tinnitus, but there are many things that can be done to help someone to manage it. The first step is to have an assessment to identify anything that could be making the tinnitus worse, such as excessive ear wax or noise exposure. It is also important to rule out anything sinister as a potential cause.

Tinnitus therapy can then be used to help people identify negative coping strategies and replace them with the development of positive coping mechanisms. Sometimes sound enrichment can reduce awareness of the tinnitus. And for some people a noise masker is a great help. It is also possible that positive changes in lifestyle including diet, exercise, relaxation techniques and stress management can affect the intensity of tinnitus.

Unfortunately contracting Covid-19 has in some cases made tinnitus worse. This is thought to be because the virus attacks the weakest parts of the body. Tinnitus is a very unique problem; each experience is different. Therefore the most effective form help is also unique to the individual. By speaking to an Audiologist about your tinnitus, you can be sure you are getting the best advice with the most comprehensive offer of a wide range of options to manage your tinnitus.

If you ever hear noises in your ears that others can not hear, make an appointment for personalised Tinnitus Therapy with Samantha Fairchild MSc, Director and Audiologist, Hearing Matters, 26 Kings Hill Ave, Kings Hill, Kent, ME19 4AE Tel: 01732 494 066 Email: info@hearingmattersltd.co.uk Website: www.hearingmattersltd.co.uk DON’T FORGET TO MENTION THE LOCAL ORACLE

Join the KHFC Business Partnership Do you represent a business in Kent that would like to support our local community football club and build relationships with some fantastic people?

We created the business partnership in 2019 and now have members from over 40 organisations.

This grew throughout lockdown and we now meet on a monthly basis alternating between online zoom sessions and face to face lunches at local venues and offices.​ The Partnership helps generate much needed funds for the club and came together to sponsor the ‘Jets’ team for players with special education needs (SEN) as-well as generating required funds for the frame football team.
