"severe tinnitus"

Generally the NHS provides an excellent service to the public but the way in which results of tests are conveyed back to the patient can sometimes feel rather unsatisfactory. This can involve ringing your GP to receive nothing more than "you're OK" or an anxious wait for post with the no news is good news policy.

By contrast, the service provided by the Audiology department at Treliske has been excellent in the way that the patient has face to face contact with specialists. Mrs Crompton, Hearing Therapist, spent many hours going through results with me and patiently explained courses of action. Further appointments to check progress were much appreciated and very useful.
