Dermot Kennedy at Marlay Park, Dublin: Stage times, set list, ticket information, how to get there and more
While the most recent research points to the origin of tinnitus being in the brain and not the auditory system, up to 60 per cent of those with tinnitus also suffer from hearing loss. Some sufferers at the event said when they were using their hearing aids, their tinnitus lessened but when they took out their hearing aids at night, it returned.
According to Daffy, a client-led assessment is the best approach for the management of tinnitus. “I had tinnitus myself without hearing loss. I now link it to emotional stress at the time. The management of tinnitus is about winding the mind down with cognitive behaviour therapy, sleep management, sound therapy, relaxation techniques and exercise,” she said.
