What can be done about my tinnitus?

• When I first experienced this condition nearly 5 years ago I thought it would just go away, but as it became apparent that it would not go I tried everything I could. Acupuncture, reflexology and hypnosis, all very good but the tinnitus still remained. At times I thought my head was going to explode, it was with me all the time and led to sleep disturbance. I felt I was living isolated in my own little world of misery. Then I saw the article in the press and made an appointment, which I received very quickly. At the appointment I underwent tests and my condition was thoroughly assessed. Everything about tinnitus was explained to me, and recommendations as to the therapy appropriate for me was made. As there would be no charge if my device were not successful, I had nothing to loose and EVERYTHING to gain. I waited about three weeks for my tiny sound processing unit to arrive, and although it was very discreet & light weight, it felt the size of a house brick when I first positioned it in my left ear, but I was overjoyed that immediately my tinnitus disappeared and I could hear clearly again. I wore it all my waking hours and after about 8 days I began to be less aware of it and every day after a little less. Yes it did take some time to get used to, but now I don’t even feel it’s there, and when I do think about it, it’s only because of the good it’s doing and the huge relief it gives me. I now manage the device quite easily, and all my family have commented how I am a different person, or more accurately that I am my old self again, “the old mum’s back”. I now have a full night’s uninterrupted sleep, instead of waking every morning in the early hours, Now I have to be woken with a cup of tea in the morning. I recommend Hearing Healthcare to anyone to give it a try, nothing to loose, but it could give you a much better quality of life, as it has for me.

• For many years I have suffered tinnitus in both ears, so much so it has nearly sent me mad. The more I stressed myself out about it the louder it became. Then I read in the Eastern Daily Press that a Clinic was available for sufferers like me. My wife made a telephone call, spoke to Mr Shepheard and made an appointment to see him. Since that time I have never looked back. I had the right advice and understanding of my problems and now enjoy better hearing, and some days my tinnitus is completely gone. My life style includes playing most weekends in a band, this combined with the stress of running my own business is the main contributor to my tinnitus However I now have help at hand and I lead a better and more fulfilling life. My advice to anyone with tinnitus is go along and see Rob Shepheard, Colney, Norwich and get the help and understanding you deserve. I consider it money well spent.

• Since an accident about 4 years ago I have suffered from constant hissing tinnitus. At night it was so loud that it made sleeping difficult, and during the day it made concentrating on anything else almost impossible. Sometimes it has seemed unbearable and has made me feel quite depressed. I have tried a number of treatments from various sources in the past but without success. When I heard about this new clinic I thought I would give it a try, although I was not hopeful. At my first appointment my condition was thoroughly tested, but we discussed not only my tinnitus, but also my whole lifestyle. At that time you made some recommendations as to possible therapies as well as lifestyle changes. It has taken a couple of weeks for me to become accustomed to my tinnitus relief equipment but now my tinnitus has completely gone, I can only hear it occasionally if I concentrate, but most of the time I am unaware of it. Everything has changed not only has my tinnitus gone but other health issues have been resolved, and I now sleep like a log. Although I was initially uncertain how helpful this treatment would be, it has proven to be a complete success for me.

• Ten years ago I started to experience tinnitus but it did not affect me until five years ago so I went to see my GP. I was advised that there was no treatment available and that I would have to accept it and live with it. The problem became increasingly worse so I decided to search for treatment to make life more bearable. After several internet searches I decided to try Rob Shepheard, at Hearing Healthcare, to see if he could help. He was positive from the first consultation that tinnitus could be managed so I tried an instrument in one ear. Three months later my life has changed and tinnitus is managed that it is no longer a problem. I can’t thank him enough he is a true professional and his knowledge is second to none.
