  4. Tinnitus A subjective noise in the ear or head: buzzing, hissing, humming, ringing or whistling, generated inside the body rather than externally. You've had your last drink of the night (milky coffee is my preferred choice), the TV has been turned off. Teeth brushed, you slip under the duvet and snuggle into the warmth of your bed. Your head hits the pillow and you wait for sleep to envelop you - but no!! In the silence of your room it starts… the nightly high pitched hiss, similar to high pressure gas escaping. Seven million people in the UK, at one time or another will experience this. Constant buzzing, hissing, whistling, booming sounds in one or both ears, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A 2007 study carried out by The Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) found that 1 in 7 people in the UK have experienced tinnitus. To help raise awareness and understanding, the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) is running a week long campaign this month, 4th - 10th February. What better time, therefore, than to write about this rarely spoken about common condition. What causes tinnitus? Tinnitus can occur at any age, although it is most common in older people. It can be associated with any abnormal condition of the ear and is often linked to hearing loss, particularly related to ageing (presbyacusis). There are a number of factors listed below, thought to increase the chances of getting tinnitus, although it remains a condition that is still not fully understood or curable: · prolonged exposure to noise · hearing loss · presence of ear wax · stress · ear infections Other factors include: ear or head injuries, disease of the inner ear, overactive thyroid gland, anaemia, Ménière's disease and side effects of certain medications. Or a combination or any of the above. Remedies With a number of possible causes, tinnitus needs to be considered on an individual basis. Usually the first point of contact is to see your GP. Underlying medical conditions that cause tinnitus can be identified and treated, such as removal of excessive ear wax. For those where a specific cause isn’t found, management of the tinnitus becomes the priority. Techniques include: relaxation, sound therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, use of hearing aids, tinnitus maskers and counselling.

  20. sorry to hear that mate..
  21. i know exactley how your feeling my friend. The area i live / work in is 99.9% conservation. I dont mind filling forms out etc, but it makes me smile when '' other companies'' or a 1 man band try and snuggle in. Ive been lucky as my customers are pleased with the professionalism and high standard of work i produce. A customer of mine asked to see his E.L. & P.A. & accident cover insurance and funny enough didnt return! Hence why they know what they are getting, a phone call woudn't hurt though mate. It doesnt help when the local area newspaper publishes them all the time!
  22. Hope you got the message i sent mate
  23. dont mind the sound of the full English though!
  24. cheers pal... il remember that when you want ur 020 attached or filled up when ur hanging around!
  25. The upmost respect for you ha ha!!
