Tinnitus Support Group (Aldershot & District)

About

Aldershot and District Tinnitus Support Group was originally started for patients in March 1992. They believe that when tinnitus is first diagnosed, the best person to contact is someone with experience and understanding from a local group. Some people are still told that “nothing can be done” and this often leads to a feeling of isolation or depression, which is helped by contact with others in a similar situation.

Quarterly newsletter also contains items of news and relevant information on tinnitus.
