For adults and working people
Many clinical studies show a direct link between stress and tinnitus. Stress factors can be perceived individually as a challenge, as an impairment or even as a personal disaster. If people are continuously exposed to stressful situations, for example because the demands and pressure at work become too great, this can not only have negative effects on mental health, but also cause disorders of the hearing function such as tinnitus. This can often place a heavy burden on the quality of life of those affected.
The psychological consequences are considerable: declining performance and creativity, as well as less self-confidence and self-esteem.
In addition, there are fatal economic consequences: The average socioeconomic costs per tinnitus patient:in in Germany amount to 4,798.91 euros per year. With a prevalence of 5.5%, this corresponds to 21.9 billion euros per year.
We would like to do something to counteract this development: Continuous education so that ear health also becomes an issue in the workplace.
