Tinnitus Toolkit
Protecting the ears that power the music industry
Produced by ACS Custom and filmed by 432 Films, The Tinnitus Toolkit is a bold and honest 20-minute documentary exploring the realities of tinnitus in the music industry – from the DJ booth to the dancefloor.
Anyone exposed to loud music knows that high-pitched whistle or ringing after a long night – the ghost in your head once the music stops. For most, it fades. For some, it doesn’t. Tinnitus can become a chronic, life-altering condition that impacts your hearing, sleep, focus, and mental health.
Thankfully, there is hope out there, as this powerful documentary shows.
