Why Buckingham Patients Book Privately
Tinnitus referrals in Buckinghamshire go through your GP to an NHS audiology service, and the wait is usually measured in months rather than weeks. Most people who contact us are not looking to skip the NHS on principle; they simply want to know now whether there is hearing loss behind the sound, because that single answer changes what happens next.
Tinnitus, Hearing Loss and Age in North Bucks
The most common finding in the Buckingham patients we assess is mild to moderate high frequency hearing loss that had gone unnoticed, with tinnitus as the first symptom that prompted action. Where that is the picture, hearing aids reduce perceived tinnitus for the majority of users, because they restore the input the brain has been missing rather than covering the sound up.
