IMPACT STATEMENT 1 (The Past)
Your Impact Statement is in three parts. This is Impact Statement 1 (about The Past). Impact Statement 2 (The Present) and Impact Statement 3 (The Future) follow on.

When tinnitus first started (or following the change referred to above): What were the thoughts you remember having and how did they make you feel?
