Travel Insurance for Tinnitus
Having tinnitus shouldn’t automatically stop you from exploring new places or enjoying a well-earned holiday. Tinnitus is a condition that causes persistent ringing, buzzing or other noises in the ears without an external source. In the UK it affects roughly 7 million people. For many individuals, symptoms can be managed with treatment or lifestyle adjustments.
A diagnosis doesn’t mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, people with tinnitus continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
Travel insurance can help provide protection if your condition affects your trip:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with a medical condition
- Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed
- Keep medication and medical information with you at all times
- Avoid situations that may trigger symptoms where possible
- Take regular breaks if fatigue or dizziness affects you
If you have been diagnosed with tinnitus, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration carefully to make sure.
