...moments. Over the past few years, my hearing has gradually declined, confirmed by hearing tests indicating I’m borderline for needing hearing aids. It’s been manageable, if not ideal, until now. Recently, I didn’t use earplugs at a loud event, though I stayed away from the loudest area for...

Audiologists are crooks when you have hyperacusis, tinnitus, and visual snow.

...since a car accident in 2011. Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time researching different ways to treat the condition. I’ve tried hearing aids with low-frequency noise, acupuncture, herbal remedies, and also Klonopin. Klonopin worked well, but I found the drug’s addictive properties too...

...to loud noise. If you regularly attend clubs or concerts where loud music is played, this can cause tinnitus to develop, too. Oticon hearing aids or any other type of hearing aids should not be automatically prescribed to treat a person with tinnitus. Unless you have significant hearing loss...

@biggy312, have you had any improvement?

Okay, I have experienced this lie and some others have as well. Many hearing aid places have told people the hearing aids can only have a frequency range of up to maybe 7 khz or maybe 8khz. Well, I found one that goes up to 12khz and it was one of the best I have ever used. I was able to...

...courses of antibiotics. My tinnitus is in my left ear, and the audiologist said my ear is “looking” for the lost sounds, so I now use hearing aids. I think they have helped, but I still have days when I can’t take my focus off the tinnitus, and it makes me intolerant of many noises. I do...

Okay, I am going to post a document below that explains audiograms and why I believe some people could benefit from hearing aids even though some specialists say you don't need them. This is just my opinion so you'll need to call around to make sure this is an acceptable idea. In the audiogram...

I have read online that hearing damage is irreversible... I understand this in terms of hearing loss and hence why people would need hearing aids etc. in future. However, if hearing damage is really 'permanent', then how do people with tinnitus ever feel a reduction or complete absence of...

...Since then, I have seen many doctors. I've had two MRIs and CT scans, and all came back normal. I visited an audiologist who provided hearing aids for sound therapy purposes. They help, but not always. I've also seen two ENTs, but no one has been able to help me. At one point, the noise was...

...half in the morning and half in the early evening. A daily supplement of Sound Bites, Vitamins A, C, E, and Magnesium. I wear Widex hearing aids with sound therapy. At first, I used them for masking, but I learned that even mild hearing loss requires sound input. I wear them daily and during...

...this site recently. I’m now studying more about the symptoms and will definitely look into this further to educate myself. I just got hearing aids for my tinnitus. There is sound therapy available to help! Seeing an audiologist is also a great option. It’s the only answer I have at this time.

Has anyone with hearing loss and tinnitus go the route of using just a hearing aid as opposed to a dual hearing aid that helps you hear better and to also mask the tinnitus ringing?

...wanted to tell people that are really suffering that even if you have a very mild hearing loss in which a doctor says you don't need hearing aids, it can be a comfort to get some anyways...In the U.S., most places will give you your money back after a certain trial period if you don't like...

Hi, I’m Lucile. I’m French and 31 years old. I have been hard of hearing since childhood and have worn hearing aids for a long time. I’ve always had a bit of mild tinnitus in my ears, but it never bothered me. I got used to it when I was young. But over the past few weeks, something...

I heard a theory from an audiologist sometime back; he thought hearing aids were still important for people with tinnitus and hearing loss, but not enough hearing loss to need hearing aids. The theory is that the hearing aids will help to still possibly stimulate neurons which may be important...

Hello. How are you doing? you wrote that hearing aids helped you with tinnitus.. I would like to try it too.. Your tinnitus is stable. Are you at the same level or floating, reactive? I have reactive tinyuts and low tolerance to sounds, tinyuts grow quickly from sounds... My audiologist told me...

I am three weeks into hearing aids with tinnitus masking. There is no change in tinnitus volume or intrusiveness. In fact, I hear the white or pink noise and my tinnitus, which is pretty annoying! I think if the hearing aids help the habituation process, it will probably take many months. I am...

Why is that?

...made it worse. I was going to try Pregabalin, but so many people here say it worsens things. I feel suicidal with it. I already have ME and fibromyalgia, and this feels like the final straw. I’ve ordered Magnesium Glycinate. The hearing aids I got to help me habituate just make it worse.

...30 years of work. The typewriter tinnitus was the game changer. Since I had hearing loss in both ears, with the left being worse, I got hearing aids, which my wife’s insurance fortunately covered. An MRI showed nothing unusual. Over the next six months, the typewriter tinnitus gradually...

@Dr. Nagler, I have spoken with you before about TRT and hearing devices with masking capability. I have decided the best option for me in to try hearing devices. My TRT has gone well and helped me understand more about my T. My audiologist carries the ReSound brand and therefore this is...

I stopped wearing the hearing aids after about a month of consistent use. I was too focused on the hearing aids, changing from white noise to pink, changing the volume, etc. I don't have much hearing loss. I will live my life and subject my healing auditory system to regular noises so I can...

My impression is that the trial Rinri Therapeutics will begin is focused on regenerating synapses and nerve endings. They also have a program for regenerating hair cells, but that will likely come later. Depending on the type of hearing problem someone has, treatment might arrive sooner or take...

I was in a a doctor's office years ago with my tinnitus really loud and annoying in both ears. The doctor said I did not need hearing aids because I only had a mild loss. Several years later I insisted upon getting hearing aids at another place and they helped with tinnitus. You might can...

...my tinnitus. Can the brain do this? I last had a hearing test in 2011. They identified some light hearing loss, but audiologist said hearing aids wouldn't be beneficial. However, I now notice I am struggling in pubs hearing what people are saying and when watching TV, I have to pay real...

Hearing aids have dramatically helped my T. At times I can't hear the T. I have moderate to severe hearing loss equally in both ears.

...about becoming dependent on it. I have visited many ENTs and neurologists, but none seem to understand tinnitus or truly care. I got hearing aids a couple of years ago, hoping they might help with the tinnitus. While they improved my hearing, they did not reduce the tinnitus. You mentioned...

Unfortunately, this happened to me, too. I have high-frequency hearing loss, and my tinnitus is very disturbing, and it increases after wearing hearing aids. I don't know what we will do.

I recently came across Oticon hearing aids. I might give them a go. But they are so expensive. Have we actually identified what type of tinnitus is helped by Notch Therapy?

I’d be interested in hearing your opinions over time. I just ordered the AirPods Pro 2 and hope they work for me as hearing aids. I’ve tried hearing aids in the past, but I couldn’t use them because they made my tinnitus much worse.

...trouble with and reduce the others to match. Or just play around with it; they can make a big difference. I assume you’ve looked into hearing aids? I lived nearly all my life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in Florida, Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico, and other high-UV states. I wouldn’t put...

I have a high-pitch hearing-loss in my right ear. This is the ear I also have tinnitus. Today I found out some interesting stuff. I was taking a shower, and as always my tinnitus spikes a little because of the noise. But, today, I found out that, if I plug only my left ear when showering, the...

How are you doing now? I am three months in and struggling. The noise I hear is an irregular, low hum…

This is pretty exciting: https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/hearing-health/ Apple is releasing earbuds that double as clinical-grade hearing aids. They offer hearing protection, sound amplification, and background noise control. This seems like a great product for tinnitus sufferers. I currently...

...masking is interrupting because of my clicking sounds. This app on my iPhone which I purchased just for Bluetooth connectivity to my hearing aids is able to mask much better. When using the rain sounds, I'm not noticing much of the interruptions so that is a huge benefit. It doesn't mask...

...thought the same thing when I heard the interview. Along with the idea of sounds being ingrained in the brain (although not with a cochlear implant), they claimed that hearing restoration wouldn’t be effective; otherwise, hearing aids would work. Erm, no. I’m pretty blasé about what he has...

...hearing loss in my affected ear. I’m going back on Thursday for a hearing aid consultation. The great thing is I’ll get to try the hearing aids for six weeks before deciding whether to purchase them or pursue a different plan. The ENT also suggested that, if the hearing aids don’t help, we...

...of TRT devices and notice now with my hearing loss I can no longer hear the slight wispering sound that the TRT device produces. My Zen hearing aids have a white noise and I can hear the noise that it produces and it only seems natural that if one cannot hear the noise produced by the...

...because it's low-risk, and I have some time on my hands right now. I'll update you in a couple of weeks. However, I don't think cross hearing aids are the same thing. I thought they re-route sound from the side of the bad ear to the good one so that you get L+R sound all channeled into the...

...the start. It seemed too sensational, something that would have turned the world upside down. Even billionaires today have to rely on hearing aids. I do not believe that Numelicina will ever be able to regenerate hair cells in people. It seems absolutely impossible. The whole stem cell...

...or if I experience a sudden event that significantly reduces my hearing. I also think that if the hearing loss is significant, then hearing aids might help reduce the perception of tinnitus. With this understanding, I don’t worry too much about the future, as I expect my hearing loss to be...

Hi @MiaVIL. I think sound enrichment could be an option, but perhaps using a tabletop device rather than in-ear solutions. You could also consider wearing hearing aids (HAs). Do you have reactive tinnitus? That might make it more challenging.

Hello Dr. Nagler Hearing aids can worsen Tinnitus?

...better, there were days were it was barely noticeable but it reminded me it was there from time to time. So today I got my hearing aids. About 20 minutes after having them on/in, my tinnitus went thru the roof. It was nice in the MD office, I didn't think it was there anymore. But it...

...increases. But, to add to this, something else happened about a week ago, maybe you can give me some perspective on it... I use hearing aids, Oticon More 1's, not just during the day but also when lying down to sleep. I use the ReSound app with timer to play music or rain sounds. I keep the...

Good morning all! I'm having a senior moment here and am hoping someone can jog my brain... in 2014-2015, I came across an article about a French study of a type of hearing aid referred to as a FOLD aid. It's not a brand, it's a descriptor of the aid itself. I can't remember the link for the...
