Living With Tinnitus: A Patient’s 17-Year Journey

During Tinnitus Awareness Week, I sat down with a patient who has lived with bilateral tinnitus for 17 years. In this interview, she shares what tinnitus really sounds like, from high-pitched ringing to Morse-code rhythms, and what triggers it, and what she wishes healthcare professionals had told her sooner.This episode sheds light on the lived experience of tinnitus and highlights the importance of early support, counselling, sound therapy, and informed choices.
