Support:
• Offering independent information and advice through leaflets, our website and freephone helplines.

Tinnitus is the name given to the condition of noises 'in the ears' and/or 'in the head' with no external source. 10% of the UK adult population has tinnitus, and currently there is no cure. Many people with tinnitus are told they will have to ‘learn to live with it.’ We don’t believe this is acceptable – or true.

Charity number: 326915 (England & Wales)

In the UK there are nine million deaf or hard of hearing people. Deafness is a devastating disability which has the power to make the simplest attempt to communicate a huge struggle. It isolates, brings intense frustration and creates barriers which can dramatically limit a deaf person’s quality of life.

Action on Hearing Loss is the new name for RNID (the Royal National Institute for Deaf People).

We’re not changing what we do. Our new name has been chosen to reflect the breadth of help and support we provide for people with all types of hearing loss – from those who are profoundly deaf, to anyone who is losing their hearing or suffering from tinnitus. We want a world where hearing loss doesn't limit or label anyone and tinnitus is silenced – and where people value their hearing enough to look after it.
