Tinnitus Awareness Week – you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone

This sign really stopped us in our tracks.

Tinnitus isn’t “just a ringing noise” — it can be constant or come and go, in one ear, both ears, or feel like it’s right in the middle of your head. For some people it’s humming, buzzing or whooshing. For others, it’s loud enough to affect sleep, concentration and everyday life.

It can feel exhausting. Isolating. And at times, overwhelming.

But here’s the part that matters most:
◦ Around 1 in 10 people in the UK experience tinnitus
◦ Support and treatment options are available
◦ You don’t have to simply “put up with it”

Tinnitus can be linked to hearing loss, noise exposure, ear wax build-up, infection, stress, or changes in hearing health — which is why a proper hearing check is such an important first step.

At Hearing Check, we take the time to listen, assess your hearing thoroughly, and talk through practical ways to reduce the impact it’s having on your day-to-day life.

If tinnitus has been bothering you, please don’t struggle in silence.

👂 Struggling to hear clearly lately? You’re not alone.

Hearing changes often happen gradually, so it’s easy not to notice at first.

You might still hear sounds perfectly well… but conversations feel harder to follow. Busy cafés get overwhelming. The TV gets a little louder. You find yourself saying “sorry, what was that?” more often than you used to.

A simple hearing check can help you understand what’s happening — and whether a little support could make everyday listening easier.

Hearing aids aren’t about changing who you are. They’re about helping you feel confident, relaxed and able to enjoy conversations again.

Many people tell us they wish they’d done something sooner.

If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to have a friendly chat.

We’re always grateful when patients take the time to share their experiences.

“Over the past couple of years I have visited Preston Hearing Check, sometimes on my own and sometimes with a family member I recommended. Zahra has mainly looked after us and I’ve always found her to be professional, friendly and very efficient. She is clearly very experienced at her job and I would happily recommend her to my family and friends.”

Thank you to David for such kind feedback, and to Zahra and the Preston team for the consistent care and support they provide every day.

👂 Safe and Effective Ear Wax Removal

If you’re struggling with a blocked ear, the safest first step is to book an appointment with a qualified professional.

At Hearing Check, every ear wax removal starts with a short medical questionnaire — helping us understand your ear health and any conditions such as tinnitus, vertigo, or a history of perforations or ear surgery.

We use microsuction, a gentle and precise vacuum technique that safely removes wax under direct vision. The process usually takes around 10–15 minutes and is comfortable, quick, and highly effective.

To make the procedure even smoother, we often recommend using softening drops for a few days beforehand.

Many people worry that hearing aids will make them feel different — or that they won’t really make much of a difference at all.

In this video, Tony Blackburn talks openly about just how much his hearing aids have changed everyday life for him. From hearing the birds clearly again, to feeling more confident in conversations, he describes them as a “game changer” — not just for hearing, but for feeling included and connected.

Tony also touches on something we talk about often with patients: untreated hearing loss can quietly affect confidence, relationships and quality of life. The good news is that hearing loss can often be managed very effectively — sometimes with something as simple as the right hearing aid and the right support.

If you’ve been turning the TV up, missing parts of conversations, or feeling unsure whether it’s time to get your hearing checked, this video is well worth a watch. Taking that first step can make a bigger difference than you might expect.
