A hearing condition is silently having significant negative impact on many people around the world but it is easily overlooked. With one in three Australians living with some degree of tinnitus, it can interfere with many aspects of daily life and have an impact on mental health and well-being.
Tinnitus, that ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling noise in your ear that only you seem to be able to hear, is a condition shared by 25 million American adults, according to the American Tinnitus Association.
It is vital that older adults including people living with dementia or other complex health requirements are not excluded from hearing healthcare services, writes Dr Caitlin Barr.
