BOLTON Tinnitus Support Group is taking part in a national celebration to mark the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) reaching 100 local support groups around the UK.

David Stockdale, chief executive of the BTA, said: “These groups play a vital part in helping people who live with tinnitus to manage and talk about their condition.

Tinnitus affects some six million people in the UK and approximately half of those find it moderately or severely distressing. Visit www.tinnitus.org.uk/find-a-support-group or call 0800 018 0527.
