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.
