Please note HUSH is run by unpaid volunteers.



Direct practical help for tinnitus people NOW is a priority for HUSH — so down with tinnitus doom and gloom !

After careful thought HUSH focuses its resources on active contact and support of habituation therapy for people who are sorely troubled NOW. It is more time and energy consuming than fund raising for more glamourous research into possible drugs however laudable. Research may involve several generations and still require current habituation therapies. The traumatic effects that sometimes result from trials with drugs — not to mention side effects — have to be considered. So medicines are best left to specialist medics

Effective non-drug habituation therapies are here now and do work well if presented with confidence and used sensibly by the troubled individual. This focus is shared with many informed medics and audiologists and other charity workers in tinnitus field.

"We thought your leaflet was very clear and to the point and would like to offer it to our clients. Please could we request 200 copies to distribute? Keep up your good work!" London clinic

HUSH work for tinnitus people is through personal contact via a seven day help line, Email, occasional public meetings and post. As a small, but very experienced group in East Yorkshire and it is hoped that individuals and groups will find the suggestions useful in living with, but not suffering from, tinnitus. If you have suggestions to make please — write, phone, email hush. Address and telephone number are given on publications.
