If you've been living with tinnitus for any length of time, you've probably heard some version of the same sentence: "There's no cure, I'm afraid. You'll just have to learn to live with it." Maybe it came from your GP. Maybe your ENT specialist said it after a five-minute chat. Either way, it tends to leave people with more questions than answers.

We hear it all the time: "There's no cure for tinnitus, so what exactly are you offering?" It's a fair question, and one we get asked constantly, often by people who've been living with tinnitus for years and have simply been told to "learn to live with it."

Most tinnitus advice comes from an audiology background alone, and understandably so. But tinnitus isn't just a hearing problem.

If you've got tinnitus, one of the first questions worth asking isn't "how do I get rid of this?", it's "where is this actually coming from?" Tinnitus isn't a sound arriving from the outside world. It's generated internally, somewhere within the ear itself, and pinning down exactly where is the first real step towards treating it properly rather than just living alongside it.
