Notes from our last meeting: Tinnitus
Betty Glazer led an interesting discussion on Tinnitus, how it affects one’s life and how to deal with it.
Pictured here are Christene Rogers, audiologist from UCT, Andrea Lewis, our Executive Secretary and Betty Glaser.
Tinnitus is a condition that can impact on one’s life and is not easy for non-sufferers to comprehend. It also can be something that can be very difficult to live with depending on the degree of severity. Family members may not be able to understand and it could cause strain on a relationship.
If you live on your own, it can be a frightening experience and Betty felt that a support group could be of great assistance to anyone affected. This would be the first such group in South Africa as far as was known, so if there are any Tinnitus sufferers out there who are interested in joining a group, please let us know.
Hi Betty and Christene,
Thank you so much for being present at last Friday’s get-together and for making your most interesting presentation, Betty. Although I was not able to attend, I have now been brought up to date by using H2d website to learn more about this debilitating condition. Thanks to for your very informative presentation, which will no doubt be of interest to our members and their friends and family, who are also suffering, to be informed about tinnitus and its affect on sufferers lifestyle. Fondest regards Fred Benning Exco Member H2d.
