Tinnitus — the sensation of hearing sounds such as ringing, buzzing, or hissing when no external sound is present — affects millions of people in the UK. For some, it’s a mild inconvenience, but for others, it can seriously impact daily life, causing stress, sleep problems, and difficulty concentrating.
At Geraint Davies Hearing, we specialise in helping people manage tinnitus effectively with advanced solutions from Starkey, a global leader in hearing technology.
How Tinnitus Affects Your Life
Tinnitus can have a significant impact on your emotional and physical well-being:
-
Sleep disturbances
Constant ringing or buzzing can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.
-
Stress and anxiety
The ongoing noise can lead to increased stress and feelings of frustration.
-
Difficulty concentrating
Tinnitus can make it hard to focus, affecting work, conversations, and daily tasks.
-
Hearing sensitivity
Some people with tinnitus also develop hyperacusis, where everyday sounds seem painfully loud.
-
Emotional health
Persistent tinnitus can lead to irritability, depression, and reduced overall quality of life.
