Understanding Tinnitus by Pat Morrison (Tinnitus UK)

Patrick Morrison is the Senior Tinnitus Support Officer at Tinnitus UK. In this role, he plays a key part in evaluating and developing the charity’s support services.

Today, Patrick explains what tinnitus is, how it can affect people, and the approaches that can help manage it in everyday life.

He shares practical information, describes some common experiences people report, and highlights strategies that many find helpful.

After a short introduction to the work of Tinnitus UK, Patrick’s presentation becomes a lively question-and-answer session with the audience, covering topics such as:

  • Can tinnitus cause dizziness or problems with balance?
  • How can I find support to help me cope with tinnitus?
  • Does tinnitus affect children?
  • Are there any drugs that can help?
  • What research is currently taking place into technologies that might reduce the effects of tinnitus?
