Isle of Wight tinnitus self-management group organises support gathering during Tinnitus Awareness Week

In an effort to provide support and advice for those living with tinnitus, a local group has organised a friendly gathering at Arreton Community Hall.

The event, scheduled for Thursday 8th February, invites individuals affected by tinnitus to join for a tea and chat session.

It’s an opportunity not just for sufferers, but also for their family and friends, who are encouraged to attend.

A platform for sharing and learning
The session, running from 3pm to 5pm, aims to be a platform where people can share their personal tips on managing tinnitus. Additionally, it serves as a place for gaining insights and advice from others who are navigating similar experiences.

This initiative underscores the importance of community support in dealing with such chronic conditions.

How to get involved
For those interested in joining the meeting, further details can be found on the IOW Tinnitus Self Management Group’s Facebook page. The group emphasises the value of collective wisdom and mutual support in the journey of managing tinnitus.

Through events like this, they hope to create a network of support that can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected.
