ABOUT THE FILM
Surviving Tinnitus is the world's first feature-length documentary about tinnitus.
Six people share what it's really like to live with the ringing, buzzing and hissing that never switches off. Alongside them, four leading specialists explain what tinnitus is, why it develops, how to manage it, and where research is heading next.
What the film covers:
What tinnitus actually is, and what's happening in the brain
Common causes, from noise exposure to hearing loss and stress
The link between tinnitus, anxiety and sleep
Habituation, and how the brain can learn to tune it out
Sound therapy and CBT
Practical tips for getting through the tough days

740 million adults worldwide live with tinnitus.
For 120 million, it's a life-altering condition.
We've pulled together over 50 clips from the film covering the stuff that actually matters - coping, managing the tough days, and finding what works. Free to watch now.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
I've lived with tinnitus since 2009. When it arrived, it turned my life upside down. I became a prisoner in my own home. I couldn't work. I thought my life was over.
I did what millions of other tinnitus sufferers do - I went looking for answers. I sat in doctors and specialists waiting rooms, I searched online at 3am, and I kept hearing or reading the same thing over and over: there's no cure. That's a brutal thing to hear when your head never stops ringing.
I'm in a different place with my tinnitus now. It took a while - but I found my way through. My tinnitus is still here, but it no longer runs my life.
That journey is why I made this film. Because the path from crisis to calm shouldn't be something you have to figure out alone, and the medical system still offers far too little hope. I wanted to put something into the world that does.
Surviving Tinnitus brings together people who've been through it and specialists who understand it - not to promise a cure, but to show that a good life with tinnitus is possible for most, and to make sure no one starting this journey feels as lost and alone as I did.
