Tinnitus is often described as hearing sounds like ringing, buzzing, or humming when no external source is present. For some, it’s a mild background noise; for others, it can feel overwhelming and affect daily life. While tinnitus itself isn’t a disease, it can have a big impact on wellbeing, communication, and even work performance.
This course is designed to help you understand tinnitus, its effects, and the practical ways to support those who experience it. You’ll learn about:
- What tinnitus is and why it happens
- How it can affect social interaction, mental health, and work
- Evidence-based strategies for management and coping
- How to create supportive, inclusive environments
By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident in recognising the challenges tinnitus brings and know how to respond with empathy and practical solutions.
