January 19, 2001 16:15: A talk held by the Bromley Tinnitus and Hard of Hearing group has urged people troubled with bad balance because of hearing problems, to seek help.
Chris Wood, a hearing and balance therapist from Mayday Hospital, in Croydon, discussed in detail, balance problems, what causes them and what steps can be taken to alleviate the condition.
He argued there have been great improvements in treatment, but there was still along way to go.
"Much has been learned about the causes of dizziness and loss of balance, but the treatment of these conditions still remains the Cinderela of the NHS."
The groups next meeting will be held at January 29, 2001. For more information, call 020 8315 2550.
