About the Film
Imagine hearing a constant sound in your head, 24/7, that no one else can hear. A high-pitched whistle, a hum, static, or a mix of sounds that never stops. This is tinnitus, and it affects an estimated 120 million adults, in a troublesome way, worldwide.
Tinnitus is widely misunderstood, even within parts of the medical profession. Too many people are told that nothing can be done, or are simply advised to "learn to live with it." The reality is that chronic tinnitus can be life-altering, affecting sleep, concentration, mental health, and relationships.
Surviving Tinnitus is the first feature-length documentary about the condition. The film brings together real stories from people living with tinnitus alongside specialists working at the forefront of understanding and managing it. It explores what tinnitus is, why it develops, how people can learn to manage its impact, and where research is heading.
This film was made to do three things: raise awareness, help people who are suffering, and provide a single, honest resource that brings everything together in one place. By combining personal experiences with expert insight, the film aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and the realities of living with tinnitus every day.
