A HEARING care specialist in Oxford has pledged its support to a national charity dedicated to people who suffer with tinitus.

Tara Tripp Hearing Care, based in Sandford Gate, Littlemore, has become a corporate member of the British Tinitus Association, helping to raise awareness of tinitus and support services helping those affected by the condition.

The BTA is the only national UK charity solely dedicated to those with tinnitus - a term that describes the sensation of hearing a noise in the absence of an external sound.

Vincent Tripp, practice manager at Tara Tripp Hearing Care, said: "We are delighted the practice has become a corporate member of the BTA, which enables us to further utilise the fantastic resources available from the BTA. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with the BTA over the coming years."
