    @ErikaS just want to let you know that I was able to get connected with Darren’s audiologist who helped me program the hearing aid. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me.

    You gotta do what you gotta do @ErikaS will you be using them for masking?

    Sorry it didn’t work out @Buddy123 , did/does your T present similar to how Darren’s did?

    @Strawberryblonde first going to see if amplification of any frequency area and/or not touchin/slight turning down of any area does anything. Idk if I can go straight to masking with my reactive T.

    @ErikaS my hearing loss is similar to Darren but not quite as bad. My T and H were due to Acoustic Trauma. I understand that the HA does work for some people. Suggest going to an audiologist that will give you a trial period for the Oticon or Widex HA. Let me know if you would like to get connected to Darren’s audiology to help program the HA.

    Thanks @Buddy123 , Darren and I have same etiology of SSHL and tinnitus with reactivity (virus in inner ear) but my hearing loss is unfortunately in higher frequencies that hearing aids don’t target. ENT still wanted me to give it a try as he says their Aud. is very good and would think out of the box. Like I said, I am taking Darren’s write up with me on how his Aud. Set up his HA.

    No luck with the hearing aids. Wasn’t expecting it as my reactivity seems to be across the board frequencies and not just high.
