FounderDear members,
Christmas is only a month away, and we are already working towards our campaign for Tinnitus Week 2019, which will take place from 4-10 February. The theme of Tinnitus Week, this time around, will be Social Isolation.
We are fully aware that the impending holiday season is not necessarily going to be easy for some of you. Your tinnitus might inhibit you from enjoying the season's festivities as you used to or as you would like.
And obviously it's not just during the holidays that you may struggle with social activities. For instance, are you still able to go to the movies or concerts? Do you spend as much time with friends as you used to? Do you sometimes feel lonely because of your tinnitus? Do your loved ones understand what you are going through?
You can help raise awareness about the social impacts of tinnitus by sharing your personal story. This can be in any format you like, e.g. written, audio, video, cartoon – whatever you feel most comfortable with.
The only rules are:
- You should talk about how tinnitus has impacted your social life, e.g. connections with friends, family or loved ones; ability to go out, etc.
- Your submission, whatever format it's in, should preferably take no more than a few minutes for the public to read/hear/view.
Please respond to this thread, either publicly or to me and Hazel via PM, if you're interested in participating. Tell us what you'd like to submit, and we'll take it from there.
We will keep this thread open until 1 January, and then use a selection of the submissions for our campaign during Tinnitus Week.
Let your voice be heard and send us your story!
