Old name, new purpose: why we’ve gone back to RNID

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the name for hearing noises that are not caused by an outside source. It’s common – around 1 in 7 adults in the UK have tinnitus all the time or regularly.

Most often, tinnitus is linked to hearing loss or other ear conditions. It’s rarely a sign of a serious condition.
