I can't, I genuinely, HRT might help.

It might help.

So Louise, if you haven't tried HRT and the tinnitus is really getting to you and you can have HRT, then give it a go because the oestrogen will help with your hearing.

I'm not saying it will cure the tinnitus, but it may help.

But when we talk about the treatment of tinnitus in primary care as GPs, or even when I refer people to the hospital, a lot of it is distraction.

So because it's really easy to focus in on tinnitus, particularly when you're in bed at night and it's all you can hear.

So it's things like white noise, getting something that plays white noise in the background.

So you're not so focused in on it, but we really don't have a cure.

And anything on the internet that says it's a cure is probably not a cure because if there was evidence for it, we would be doing it in the NHS.

Absolutely.

So I can say probably not.

So I'm sorry.

But if it is, because most people at night is when it really gets to them.

And you can buy white noise machines from online anywhere.

And it won't cure it, but it will help distract you so you're not so focused on it.

I must say, Cherry, that statins are probably... I'll be honest with you, if I had high cholesterol...
