Case study 4 - Charles

So many people with tinnitus are not aware of what help is available and that is why I want to share my story, in the hope that it will inspire others.

The patient had suffered a blow to the head 18 months prior and soon afterwards (within a month) developed significant tinnitus and neck pain.

Rebecca was finding her tinnitus was not only having a significant impact on her ability to live and work normally but her mental state bas well.

Over the past year I have had a few health issues and I started to listen and focus on my tinnitus. The brain training I completed last week has been of immense help for me in managing my tinnitus.

For the past two years I have had forever-changing 24 x 7 tinnitus. I spent a disproportionate amount of time online searching for answers and found it difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction.

It is now 4 months since I became acutely aware of my tinnitus and started on this journey of trying to deal with what was a very distressing time for me.

Mary is a good example of using physiotherapy to treat an underlying injury and through that also relieve her tinnitus. She focused on following through with the prescribed care and exercises.
