Tinnitus and Covid 19 isolation
Post author: By hearwecare Post date: 14/09/2020
DO YOU suffer from tinnitus?
Have the Covid-19 lockdowns and social distancing measures made the problem worse?
Long-standing research has proved that stress and anxiety add to the problems faced by tinnitus sufferers. The British Tinnitus Association argues the pandemic and its impact on communities will have negative affects for people with hearing issues.
A spokesman said: ‘There is no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic and the necessary social distancing measures being taken could have an impact on emotional well-being.
‘As coronavirus continues to impact people across the UK and globally, many people are having to stay at home, practice social distancing and substantially change their daily routine.
‘The good news is that support is available.’
It suggests people join an online support group, contact the Association’s hotline, understand how tinnitus services, including those offered by HearWeCare, operate currently, and how you can get additional support with hearing loss.
Shellie Forster, founder of HearWeCare and a member of the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists, said: ‘Tinnitus sufferers can feel among the loneliest people on earth at times.
‘I think most of us have struggled to come to terms with the changes in our normal routine, but it is likely to have impacted on those with tinnitus more.
‘Time in a quieter environment away from the work place may have made it seem like the tinnitus has gotten worse. The world has been a quieter place, too.
‘How many of us have noticed things about ourselves we’ve never noticed before?’
She says that people with tinnitus or related hearing issues should contact their GP for help and advice, but use the British Tinnitus Association’s resources.
‘It’s important people get the right advice and best treatment promptly.’
