To those who have tinnitus, what background noise do you play to mask tinnitus? I usually listen to ocean waves or rain pattering on leaves .. I find music too distracting or stimulating while working ..

The NHS's eye health staff are vital to the UK's eye health.
We should ALL be supporting them and applauding their commitment to keeping vital services operating during the pandemic.
Eye health service professionals were quick to adapt to COVID, saving sight by doing so.

Was recently jeered at for wearing a mask. have a small role in our #NHS working in sightloss. If I test 🦠 ve I have to cancel clinics. This impacts my elderly often vulnerable patients whose sons/daughters have taken a day off to bring them in. It’s all about them, not me.

Get vaccinated / boosted please!
Also, download the ZOE COVID app and send them updates about your health and vaccine / testing status - that data is really valuable in research about COVID.
