Chris lived with tinnitus for about seven years. For the first five, it was just a background noise: annoying, but manageable. Maybe you’re in that place right now, where tinnitus is present but not yet disruptive… until, like it did for Chris, it gets worse. 

‘In late 2016, it flared up to the point the stress it caused rendered me unable to work and participate in a normal life’, Chris recalls. 

If you’ve ever felt your tinnitus spiral out of control, you know how quickly it can affect your mood, your sleep, your relationships, and your ability to function day to day. You might even feel like you’re losing yourself.  

Chris’s story is not unique; many people with tinnitus reach a point where the stress and anxiety become overwhelming. 

You might be wondering if there’s a way forward, if you can ever get back to enjoying the simple things or feeling like yourself again. Chris’s story is proof that you can. 

Taking the First Step: Seeking Help 

You might feel uncertain about seeking help, or wonder if anyone will truly understand what you’re going through. Chris felt that way too, but decided to reach out for support after his tinnitus worsened. 

‘I found the Invisible Hearing Clinic and was given a very professional assessment by Alan, who then went on to work through a course of tinnitus retraining therapy with me.’ 

When you come to us, you benefit from a thorough, compassionate assessment. Rest assured that our team take the time to hear your story, understand your unique challenges, and work with you to find the best path forward.  

Your experience matters, and your journey will be tailored to fit your unique needs. 

Understanding and Managing Tinnitus 

One of the most powerful tools you can have is knowledge, especially regarding topics like tinnitus and hearing health. Chris found that education was a turning point. He comments, ‘The education I received on how stress influences the condition made it much less frightening.’ 

You can rest assured that you’ll learn not just about tinnitus itself, but about how your mind and body respond to it. Understanding the connection between stress and tinnitus empowers you to take control, whether with assistance from tinnitus therapies, Lenire, or hearing aids. 

At our clinic, you’ll discover practical techniques to manage stress, reduce the impact of tinnitus, and regain your confidence. 

Support Every Step of the Way 

Chris shares, ‘Throughout the two years I’ve known Alan and Michael I’ve really enjoyed working with them. In particular, they showed an immense amount of patience and understanding with me when I was at my most irrational and panicked in the early days.’ 

You deserve to be treated with patience and understanding, especially when things feel overwhelming. We’re here to support you, even on the hardest days. Your fears and frustrations are valid, and you’ll always have a safe space here to express them. 

Reclaiming Your Life 

Tinnitus may not disappear completely, but with appropriate interventions you can absolutely reclaim your life.  

‘After going through the therapy I was able to resume a normal life’, Chris enthuses. ‘The tinnitus hasn’t [gone] away, but… [they] brought it down to a level I can live with just fine; as long as I’m keeping busy I hardly ever notice it.’ 

With the right support and strategies, tinnitus becomes a manageable part of your life, not the centre of it, and you can look forward to returning to work, enjoying hobbies, and reconnecting with friends and family.
