Surviving Tinnitus is the first feature-length documentary film about troublesome tinnitus. It follows six people living with the condition (including the filmmaker) alongside four tinnitus specialists, exploring what tinnitus is, why it develops, how to manage it, and where research is heading. The aim of the film is to support, educate and raise awareness of this often debilitating condition.

The film will be released on 24 September 2026 and will be available exclusively on this website.

Because tinnitus affects millions of people and yet most of them feel completely alone with it. Filmmaker Keith Wright has lived with tinnitus himself since 2009 and found that there was no simple one-stop source for support and education. This film aims to be the go-to film for those with tinnitus.

You'll hear from real people who've been where you are, and from specialists who explain what's actually going on and what you can do about it. It's not a cure — but it's the understanding, reassurance, and practical insight that most people never get.

Yes. The film was made for anyone with tinnitus in mind. It acknowledges how hard tinnitus can be, but the overall direction is toward understanding, management, and hope.

Both. It's grounded in real science and features tinnitus specialists, but it's framed through personal stories.

Absolutely. The film features insights from specialists across audiology and tinnitus research, and it gives you a window into the patient experience that clinical settings rarely capture. It's also a resource you could recommend to patients looking for information and reassurance.

Yes. Alongside the film, there will be additional clips and resources covering specific topics, management techniques, the science behind tinnitus, specialist insights, and more.

The goal is to make it accessible to everyone. There'll also be a pay-what-you-want option for those who want to support the project further.

Surviving Tinnitus is written, directed, and produced by Keith Wright, an independent filmmaker based in the UK who also lives with tinnitus. The film is a passion project, entirely self-funded, filmed over two years, with no sponsors or corporate backing, which means it's made purely in the interest of the tinnitus community.
