Surviving Tinnitus is the first feature-length documentary film about bothersome 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.

For now the film is available to stream directly from 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.
