...in-canal hearing aid would do the dual purpose trick of: Acting as a partial plug to reduce sharp sounds that triggers distortions, while amplifying environmental sounds to mask the ringing? I have no experience with hearing aids, so please let me know if this makes sense with current...

Everything was going better until I lost my hearing aids😭 I’m too broke to replace them… does anyone have suggestions?

...30 years, it never improved, and over the past two years—since I turned 65—it has become much worse, likely due to age-related changes. Hearing aids and sound masking provide some relief, but the tinnitus is now severe in my left ear and moderate in my right. Life goes on, but tinnitus has...

Someone needs hearing aids? I own a pair of hearing aids open fitting Re-Sound Alera VO961 / DW wireless flesh-colored. Are not helpful in tinnitus (in my opinion) and do not possess the masking option. Only helps you feel better if you have significant hearing loss. Used only for 6 months...

What is life like for you? Is it hard to go out, explain the hearing aids to friends/people who cross paths with you? Do you still go out to bars or clubs?

Thank you for the info! I find magnesium makes me nutso though, I don't know why. I've had good success with the zinc (and a xanax here and there when I'm losing my mind!)

The good thing about hearing aids is that you usually get a trial period to see if they work before deciding whether to purchase them. At least, that is what the audiologists I spoke with told me. However, the downside is that hearing aids are an out-of-pocket expense, as insurance typically...

Hi all, I just have a question. I have hearing aids (zero amplification, I have no hearing loss) that play white noise. It's better than living with tinnitus but it's also highly irritating and the volume needs to be up fairly high making it quite unpleasurable. Rain sound on the other hand is...

What do you think about the fact that many tinnitus clinics sell hearing aids to almost every patient if there is even the slightest sign of (age-appropriate?) hearing loss?

Bumping this thread in light of Apple’s recent hearing health features. AirPods Pro will soon be able to function as hearing aids, which might be a more affordable solution for those who don’t have healthcare coverage for traditional hearing aids. Once these features are available in Europe...

Have you tried hearing aids? You might find that they help you significantly in managing your tinnitus.

...hear ambient noise. It'll be like the impacted frequencies are in a soundproof room. I've made a flowchart to get the point across. Hearing aids could also be effective with sensorineural hearing loss. So why aren't people without tinnitus being given hearing aids when they have hearing...

I’m in the UK and about to get hearing aids to use as sound generators. I’m not getting my hopes up too much, but if the pulsatile tinnitus could decrease by even 10 or 20 percent, I think that would make a huge difference. I have had a lot of scans, and while some findings did show up, they...

My father has severe hearing loss and finally decided to get hearing aids a few months back. The audiologist told him that in the first few weeks/days, many things will sound painful because his brain is not used to processing noise that loud anymore. He also claimed that his brain would adapt...

Hello, I reecntly tried hearing aids from my friend just for couriosity what is the sound perception through them (I have pretty good hearing just T is what bothers me). What I noticed in a silent room the hearing aids themselves produce some delicate hum similar to the white noise maskers I...

...mean they will cover very well. There are laws in my state, but deductibles and co-pays are allowed. My insurance company "covers" hearing aids, but you still have to meet your deductible first, which is often thousands of dollars, and then after you meet your deductible, they only cover 50%...

I have used Widex with Zen Hearing aids for two weeks now from my audiologist. You have 30 days to try them. I have not seen any improvement yet. Anybody in this forum have any experience with these. Let me know if anybody has used these.

Currently having side effects from my hearing aids but it's okay because its temporary! I know I'll get better soon.

I thought that was what tinnitus-masking hearing aids do. I do not know the theory, but I find ambient sound masking too distant and insufficient.

Do you wear hearing aids? If you want to eleborate, you may comment below. Also, if you really like or really dislike these polls, let me know.

...I had my baby with me and since it was babbling all the time, I was very distracted during the hearing test. The newly adjusted hearing aids were so loud, I did all things very carefully and once I heard church bells it really hurt. I went to the hearing aid acoustician again today and it...

...losing her ability to enjoy television and conversations with family and friends. She is currently using Sonic Radiant miniRITE 60 T R hearing aids. They seem to not be working properly. We have had her go to a local hearing specialist at a branch of Hearing Life and additionally, she has...

Yes, it can make a difference. Hearing aids can be adjusted to a certain degree, even with hyperacusis or sound sensitivity. I have hearing aids myself, and I’d say they helped me quite a lot in the beginning. I don’t use them much now, only once in a while when watching TV at home and similar...

I was wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to try these new EARLENS hearing aids? They are supposed to increase and target the high-pitch hearing loss typically associated with tinnitus. It's not a masker. It's a hearing aid that fits on your eardrum much like a contact lens fits on...

Good morning! I would like to tap your collective wisdom today about ear pressure and hearing aids. I have bilateral hearing loss. I have tinnitus, not normally bothersome (though all this testing is making me aware of it). For about 1 1/2 years (see my introductory thread) I've had...

...if you're suitable for wearing white noise generators. If your hearing is impaired, then you should be fitted with hearing aid(s). Some hearing aids enable music to be streamed via Bluetooth to them. I don't recommend streaming music to hearing aids, as it's possible the tinnitus could be...

Hi Mary, I also use Oticon hearing aids with 3 sounds built in: Pink noise, white noise, and ocean waves. I do not have any hearing loss, so my audiologist disabled the hearing aids via computer when I was fitted with the hearing aids. They operate purely as wearable sound generators. Please...

...Turner syndrome, which causes a gradual decline in hearing. Even if I could regain even mild hearing, that would be amazing. Another thing I wonder about is how this would affect the brain. Would it adjust to hearing sounds again? If I could hear without hearing aids, that would be incredible.

...was that I had damaged my ears and could not hear high pitched frequencies anymore [can't remember the kHz]. They also gave me these hearing aids / maskers, that play a pitch that cancels out the tinnitus. They also said that I had a little wax in my right ear. Anyway I wore the aids in my...

...left ear that has tinnitus. They want to first start CBT to manage my tinnitus. And if that won't help me enough they want to give me hearing aids. Do hearing aids help me even if I have tinnitus that reacts to some sounds? Are there people on here that use hearing aids even with tinnitus...

...how much it can take over your life, but only if you let it. There was no technology to help me when I was growing up, but I need hearing aids. I’m almost deaf in my left ear, and I just got my hearing aids in December 2024. Reading helps me a lot these days. Before, I couldn’t read because...

...high-pitched sound started in my right ear and gradually moved to both ears over the years. Now, this new “chirping birds” sound has appeared in my left ear. I’m planning to get hearing aids very soon, and I’d be very interested to hear how things have progressed for you. I hope you’re doing...

...scared. Hearing test shows moderate to high frequency loss, lower tones fine. I was hoping to be given maskers but no, small hearing aids that MIGHT help. Such a lovely lady but once again seems like a dead end. Sound proof room seems to have made T go mad and a new noise to join the others...

...hell. I can totally mask the T with them. But I keep the volumn low enough to here the T so I can eventually get used to it without the hearing aids. When I sleep at night I use a white noise machine and wear my right aid only. I can here the noise maker and sleep all night. I also...

I have had high-frequency tinnitus for over 11 years. That TV is always on. 🙄 It makes very quiet surroundings hard to tolerate, but I also use hearing aids, so I have to find a way to balance my suffering. 🥳

...here with a long-term tinnitus history. I am profoundly deaf, but I am able to hear well enough to get along with the more powerful hearing aids. Hearing aids also are what have enabled me to live with tinnitus. Until now. I need new hearing aids and so far have tried two...

...to Tinnitus Talk and look forward to exploring the posts and articles here. Since you’re interested in hearing from someone who has used hearing aids for tinnitus reduction (and to compensate for mild hearing loss at the frequencies affected by the tinnitus), I’d like to share my experience...

Thank you, Michael. I have Oticon hearing aids with an ocean sound feature installed, but nothing I listen to can mask the terrible head noise I constantly experience. Now that the weather is nice, I walk outside, but even all the outdoor noise does not drown out the head noise. I watch TV, but...

Hi all What a night ,lost my hearing aids (now found) usually wear them in bed to knock some of the T out. Boy oh boy id forgotten how loud my ears can get.Telling you ten out of ten noise ,I honestly do not know how i would cope without the aids.it took me back to 2010 when an ear infection...

...me something. I don't have a perfect hearing, not deafness but not optimal for my twenty years. So as I know that one day i will wear hearing aids, i would like to ask you how does it feels to have an hearing aid? Is it comfortable, is it good for restaurants, cinema, how do you cope with...

Has anybody considered hearing aids path to get some relief ? We know that hearing aids can help only if we have have hearing loss in human hearing range upto maybe 6-7khz but I read that we now have high frequency loss hearing aids available in the market too? Why isn't there much buzz about...

...for something closer to five years or less. If Rinri Therapeutics is successful, perhaps they will offer a trial for those who use hearing aids. If that happens, I might participate, since I believe it could help restore some of my hearing. I certainly hope so, because it does seem promising.

There’s no guarantee that hearing aids will even help improve your hearing. I have hearing loss and found hearing aids completely useless. At the end of the day, they are just fancy amplifiers, and if your hearing damage causes distortion, diplacusis, or loss of clarity, they won’t be of much...

...ears are screaming now. I know it is from hearings loss from construction... My question is this... Should I go back on Zoloft which worked but made me emotionally numb... or try hearing aids which feed back my tinnitus ...tricking my brain into thinking my ears are fine... Feedback appreciated!

I have a theory on why Auricle is delayed. I recently visited a new audiologist to establish care and discuss hearing aids for masking. Two audiologists greeted me and introduced me to a representative from Lenire. The three of them then spent an hour delivering what felt like a scripted hard...

...of these events could have caused my tinnitus as well. Anyway, where is the success you ask? Well, growing up I never wore my regular hearing aids much, because I hated how much they amplify the sounds of everything. Well, I popped them in last week, and I don't hear my tinnitus at all when...

...had severe hearing loss at 4500 hertz for years, which was not an issue except for a mild to moderate ringing tinnitus. I decided to get hearing aids, and six months later, the typewriter tinnitus was gone. I am not sure that was the sole reason, but it was far more bothersome than my...

I first realised that I had tinnitus in July 2022 around the time I visited our local audiology clinic where I was fitted with two hearing aids which were badly needed for moderate hearing loss. It was probably a coincidence that my tinnitus began at the time I started using the hearing aids...

I went to the hearing aid specialist the other day and he programmed hearing aids for me. However, he had a new piece of equipment this time which had wires with little microphones on them. He put them in my ear to measure the true amplification that my hearing aids were giving instead of only...

So, after all my problems, someone else in my family with hearing issues decided to get hearing aids. Well, I borrowed the hearing aids. The ringing is semi the same, but I can hear better in that ear. It's not perfect. Also, it's like my brain is readjusting to hearing. Like I feel semi like...

I am using a tinnitus frequency measurer app and I'm wondering should I measure with my hearing aids on or off?

...in ambient noise environments with correction higher than 8 khz. All the audiologists back then told me that they could only program hearing aids up to 8 khz. However, yesterday, I went to an audiologist and he said he was going to install some new testing equipment that will be able to...

...me with what now sounds like 3000 chirps that blend together and it’s one fluctuating buzz. I know that it causes hearing loss so I got hearing aids. I’m told to wear them all day. But now my ears are hyper sensitive and the buzzing is louder. If I rest in a quiet room it’s very annoying...

The possibilities of tinnitus therapy include the provision of hearing aids for moderate hearing loss. Have you tried this possibility?

why does insurance not cover hearing aids there's no reason for them not to only reason is bad reason medical industry truly does not care about general public's health it's all about money sensorineural hearing loss is not being taken seriously so many people suffering omg we need cure urgently...

Hi buddy! Do you use hearing aids in your daily life?

...and then goes back to the high pitch. It’s there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I eventually just learned to live with it after trying multiple therapies, including masking hearing aids, which offered no help at all. I honestly don’t know what complete quiet is anymore. Anyway, that’s my...

Hi all. I gave in today and was fitted for hearing aids. Can't get over feeling like it's giving up hope that things will ever get back to normal... and, yes, I fully concede vanity is in play, as well. I'm past three years now with T, had a right side stapedectomy last November, and have been...

Has anyone tried Phonak hearing aids? I’ve been reading a Facebook group, and people seem to have very positive feedback.

...an audiologist to find how much hearing loss I had acquired since the ear infection. A loss of 20 percent. The audiologist suggested hearing aids, ok, but will they actually help?? You can try them, we offer full money return. Ok, so how much are they? 2000 euros (falls over backwards...
