PATIENTS suffering from ringing in their ears could be suffering from tinnitus.

That is the message from audiologists at Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust who are supporting this week’s tinnitus awareness week.

Audiologists are advising those with symptoms to visit their GP who can refer them to an ear nose and throat specialist for a thorough examination.
