Manage episode 455122708 series 3528644
Tinnitus can be frustrating for both patients and clinicians as there is some misinformation and misunderstanding about its aetiology and treatment options. For some people with tinnitus there is significant distress and a reduced quality of life that may not always be appreciated by healthcare professionals. Fortunately, most cases of tinnitus can be treated successfully, and there are a number of management techniques that can reduce its impact, including sound therapy, stress reduction and treatment of any underlying causes. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson gives an overview of this common problem, with a reminder of how to evaluate it and when to refer a patient to secondary care.
