Persistent ringing or buzzing sounds you hear in your ears that are not in your external environment are referred to as tinnitus. For some people this can be mild and in others it is so loud it causes distress. Tinnitus can be a temporary or permanent condition.
Adapting to tinnitus is the core of tinnitus counselling. Once you accept you have the condition it will have less of an effect on you emotionally. You will learn to coping strategies, and it won’t stop you from getting a good night’s sleep or participating in a full and active life.
Your tinnitus counsellor will help you develop techniques and tools that will keep you calm and manage your tinnitus.
