NHS & Tinnitus (UK)

[SarahR]

Hi

I've tried searching for a similar topic which I'm sure must exist but the key words (NHS and UK) are too short!

I finally have my ENT/audiology appointment soon (after 4 months...) on the NHS. I know I had to ask my GP for this explicitly as they tried to shrug it off.

I was just wondering what everyone else's experiences were in terms of the NHS, has anyone actually received any form of 'treatment' at all?

I've seen a tinnitus dr at my local hosp since the onset of t. There is no real treatment as such. I was sent away with a sound machine and pillow speaker.

My father has had Tinnitus for 6 years and lives in UK. He has had a MRI and other tests. But nothing has been done for him.
