Last week was Tinnitus Awareness Week and we at Right at Home Australia would like to take a moment to acknowledge this potentially devastating disease.  

Tinnitus is characterised by hearing unwanted sounds, such as a ringing, buzzing or humming noise in your ears or head. For one in eight people, these sounds never disappear. It can be constant or occasional, loud or soft, mild or severe and can be heard in one or both ears or “in the head”.  In some cases, tinnitus may be the result of a simple issue like wax build up in your ears, the effect of medications, or exposure to loud noise. 

Although the condition is more common in older adults – possibly due to the natural ageing process – tinnitus can affect people of all ages, including young children. According to Tinnitus Australia, one in three people in Australia live with tinnitus and one in six experience it constantly.

If you are living with a debilitating condition and need help with activities of daily living in the form of homecare and assistance, there are 40 local Right at Home offices across Australia. Our mission is to 'improve the quality of life for those we serve'. Right at Home support the elderly and those living with a disability to remain independent in their own homes. We do this by providing companionship, socialisation, domestic assistance, and transport, personal care, nursing care, wellness, managed live-in care/24hr care, transitional and post-operative care, respite care for family carers and care for special care situations.  Give your local Right at Home office a call to see how we can support and assist you.
