Story
I'm shaving all my hair off to raise money for the British Tinnitus Association, which provides support and advice to tinnitus sufferers and invests in research aimed at finding cures and treatments for the condition. The severity of the condition varies from person to person, and is the most commonly reported disability in veterans due to the high amount of noise they are exposed to. Musicians are also particularly vulnerable, but tinnitus can affect anyone.
As someone with chronic tinnitus, I'm raising money for this charity because they gave me the support and information I needed about the condition when it first began, which is usually the scariest time. This condition is often overlooked because many people with tinnitus can live normal lives, but for severe cases it can result in anxiety and depression, affecting them every day. By raising awareness and supporting ongoing research, we will one day beat tinitus. Thank you for any donation you can contribute! :) <3
