Commenting on the initiative, Mr Stevenson said:
“I note that the theme for this year’s campaign is raising awareness in primary care so ensuring that GPs are more aware of this debilitating condition and have a better understanding of the services available in secondary care.
“It is vital that GPs have the most up-to-date information regarding tinnitus so that they can start to manage the condition in a positive way.
“Tinnitus is a very common health problem, and I support the work undertaken by support groups and voluntary organisations such as Action on Hearing Loss Scotland to raise awareness and provide information and advice to people affected by tinnitus.
“The British Tinnitus Association has a freephone confidential helpline 0800 018 0527 and for those wishing further information, they should visit the website:http://www.tinnitus.org.uk/.”
