Either they, or your GP will investigate your tinnitus and might then refer you to the audiology department, or to see and ENT (Ear, nose and throat) consultant.
How to contact our Tinnitus Service
All tinnitus appointments across our hospital sites are booked by our admin team at the Royal Gwent Hospital.
