About Tinnitus

Tinnitus describes a condition where a noise is heard in the ears or head. It is frequently described as a ringing, buzzing, humming or hissing sound which cannot be heard by others.

It is a relatively common phenomenon affecting 17% of the general population and about 33% of the elderly.

Tinnitus is an attempt by the brain to correct an imbalance in the nerve activity of the auditory system. It is therefore part of normal functioning and is neither a disease nor a pathology that requires a cure.

Tinnitus can be annoying, distressing and disruptive. These emotions arise from a rewiring in the brain as a result of a negative or fearful attitude to the tinnitus. This will often result in constant awareness of the tinnitus, difficulty distracting self away from the tinnitus, disruption of sleep patterns and an inability to enjoy quiet recreational activities or relaxing. Its effect can range from being mildly irritating to being totally devastating and even debilitating.

OAKRIDGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Median/Heritage Boulevard Work

Work on the median on Cambie Street has begun and resulted in Cambie Street being reduced to single lane heading southbound from 41^st to 45^th. This is expected to last until October.

In addition to the above, all southbound lanes on Cambie Street between 42^nd and 45^th will be closed temporarily from July 2^nd to 10^th. Traffic heading southbound will be directed to “cross over” to the east side of Cambie. Refer to the below image. During this period, the left turn into the parkade from Cambie northbound will be closed 24/7. Entrance into the parkade is only available via southbound on Cambie Street. When existing, customers will crossover to the east of Cambie Street and continue southbound.

Single Lane Alternating Access in/out of Parkade

In/out of the parkade will be single lane alternating access from July 2^nd to August 23^rd. Please note this work overlaps with the median crossover noted above.

TCP will be in place to manage traffic from:

6:30am to 9pm on Mon to Sat
9:00am to 7pm on Sundays

Important Note: Parkade will be closed outside of TCP hours. Tenant requiring access in/out of the parkade outside of the TCP hours must contact Security at 604-269-2103 at least fifteen (15) minutes prior so the barriers can be removed to facilitate safe entry/exit.

Due to all the above work, please add additional travel time.

Thank you for your accommodation and we apologise for the temporary inconvenience.
