According to the latest data from Tinnitus UK, prevalence of the condition has increased by 50 per cent in the last 15 years, as the pressures of modern life have a direct impact on the nation’s hearing. [ii] Bayfields new Tinnitus Clinic, introduced to tackle the condition which manifests itself as hearing a ringing or buzzing sound without an external source, will include a free 15-minute tinnitus hearing health check, carried out by Bayfields expert audiology team.

Patients who are diagnosed with the condition will then be invited to an in-depth 75 minute personalised examination to determine the extent and cause of the tinnitus, where an audiologist will identify the type of tinnitus – temporary or permanent, constant or intermittent, and provide appropriate advice and management. A digital consultation with a Bayfields audiologist, specialising in tinnitus, will also be included, to discuss ways to live with and manage the condition. This is the latest service to be added to Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists practices nationwide, where clients can receive treatments including ear wax removal and hearing aid solutions in cutting-edge audiology suites.
