Simple, don't wear the hearing aids?

...and super-fast steam trains running through it are out of control. I have some hearing loss, but in my opinion, it is not bad enough for hearing aids. The hearing aids did seem to settle the hyperacusis somewhat, as the audiologist set them to soften sounds that aggravated my ears, such as...

...helpful. If that’s the case, it could be beneficial to have your ENT read the study and direct an audiologist to set your programmable hearing aids or maskers to the relevant sound band, either white noise, which includes all audible frequencies, or another band like blue or violet noise, as...

Sorry, maybe poorly written. I am saying hearing loss is not treatable at present. There are aids, like hearing aids, or even cochlear implants, but these are not really treatments (much less cures) - just aids. Just like glasses or contact lenses are not treatment for myopia. There is not...

In case it is useful, here is a one-paragraph summary from ChatGPT:

If you have moderate to severe hearing loss, a pair of hearing aids may help. They have dramatically helped me. You will know within 10 minutes of trying them if they will help you or not.

...This is a great place for commiseration, support, and ideas on how to calm tinnitus, hyperacusis, and other hearing maladies. I got hearing aids about eight years ago after my fairly stable 20-year tinnitus became more severe. Initially, they were helpful with hearing the high frequencies...

...high dosage of B2 high dosage of Magnesium Multivitamin Lipo Flavonoid Mindfulness Meditation (at least 10 min twice daily) Testing hearing aids with only a higher frequency enhancement 30-minute dumbbell workout at least twice a week. Starting a Vestibular Migraine diet (I think this will be...

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...

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...

Good question. I don’t use it with my hearing aids—I use my Bose headphones for that. I’m one of those unfortunate people for whom the Neosensory Duo actually worked. And two months after I bought the system outright, they closed up shop. It was the only thing that truly worked for me. Now...

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...

...but then it returned. So don't be sad about the missed treatment; nobody knows if it would have helped. I also had sound therapy and hearing aids. There was one specific point of interest with the hearing aids. The audiologist performs a hearing test and then adjusts the hearing aids...

...audiologist actually got me in the same day. Which helped. How ever after some treatments for possible viral infection in my ear. We still don’t know the cause. I have come to the conclusion that I will need hearing aids. Being deaf doesn’t scare me. But the ringing is going to drive me crazy.

...flow, nerves, and the brain. The audiology community often connects it to hearing loss for their own benefit, mainly to sell overpriced hearing aids. It feels a lot like the pharmaceutical money machine. In more than three years my hearing has not changed, yet I still have intrusive, loud...

I’m in this boat too. I even did a gradual increase in the use of my hearing aids, and it still got worse. I was up for four days and nights before I could sleep from sheer exhaustion. I hate this crap. It's not that simple when you have hearing loss and reactive tinnitus. Hearing loss is...

...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...

...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...

@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...

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

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...

@biggy312, have you had any improvement?

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...

...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...

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...

...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...

...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...

...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.

...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...

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...

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...

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...

...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...

Why is that?

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...

...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...

...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...

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.

...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.

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...

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?

...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...

...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...

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.

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...
