...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.

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...

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?

Basically give me a price for low end hearings that is reasonable and a price for high end hearing aids that is reasonable. I like a pair of high end ones but they just seem so expensive for being so little. It definitely helps with my tinnitus though.

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 getting old and crotchety.. :) We only discussed options for dealing with the tinnitus. At one point he mentioned hearing aids and I sort of jumped on that idea and we didn't discuss anymore options.. but then I came to find out my insurance doesn't cover hearing aids. I'm...

...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...

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.

...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...

...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...

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...

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

...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...

I've had 2 audiograms up to 8 kHz - they showed perfect hearing. My tinnitus is bothering me during the day and I feel like I would benefit from in-ear sound enrichment from either streaming my sound apps to a wireless earbud like Apple AirPods or getting a hearing aid that has a tinnitus...

...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...

...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...

I don't recommend that you listen to music or podcasts through hearing aids, as you could make your tinnitus worse. I suspect that it is this that has made your tinnitus worse, or listening to audio through headphones, earbuds or exposure to loud noise. My advice is to use your hearing aids...

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.

...moderately severe/moderate until 3 kHz, where I hear exceptionally well (like below zero dB). I also have a mild dip at 6 kHz. My loss was sudden and unexplained. Hearing aids made the poor-quality, distorted sound in my left ear louder—unwelcome noise on top of unwelcome noise. I'd rather be...

...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...

Hello, I have just joined the group and thought I would introduce myself and tell you my story. I have had tinnitus since 1986 and both ears usually need syringed yearly at my GP surgery, as I suffer with excess wax and narrow ear canals. This service was stopped this year and so had to have my...

...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...

...is one of the authors. The indication was single-sided deafness with tinnitus. → Tinnitus reduction in patients with single-sided deafness: the effect of cochlear implantation, bone conduction devices, and contralateral routing of sound hearing aids investigated in a randomized controlled trial

...frequencies. What I've noticed is when I put on the hearing aid feature, the outside sounds are amplified, and when I take off the hearing aids. Everything sounds much softer, including the ringing. I'm not sure if this is good for reducing my T or not. It seems to be working, but I...

...with time in the Army National Guard, loud music, and, of course, old age, may have "blessed" me with this curse. Now, I'm trying out hearing aids to help with mild hearing loss. They're arriving today, so I'll soon find out if they'll help or not. The tinnitus stops when I sleep...

I did TRT with continuous sound therapy using hearing aids. They thought I had minor hearing loss at first, but it tested normal later. My audiologist allowed for minor amplification of the environment, which was helpful. I tried many noises, but white noise worked the best for me long term. You...

...for advice from those who have had successful outcomes with TRT. I have mild high-frequency hearing loss and want to start using hearing aids with sound therapy to help with healing. However, I don't experience ringing. Instead, I hear crackling, electric shocks in my ears, metallic...

Reading more about otosclerosis, I'm alarmed that it seems to be something that tends to result in needing hearing aids eventually. My hearing loss and tinnitus hasn't really changed much for years as far as I can tell (I had one hearing test in 2019 and it was a bit of a disaster, with noises...

They actually make frequency lowering hearing aids in which they can convert higher frequency sounds to be heard at lower frequencies. However, tinnitus can often be at higher frequencies. What if there were such a device that took lower frequencies, amplified them, and converted them to...

Hang in there @SharonBell. Have you seen an ENT to at least explore hearing aids? I know it doesn't work for everybody, but they helped me!!

I am considering getting Lyric hearing aids. I have been using Lenire for two months, twice daily, but I have not yet observed a reduction in the tinnitus level in my right ear. It spiked to level 5 back in June 2024 after I received a steroid injection in my left shoulder. Before that, I was...

For your interest. Not necessarily a recommendation! See your ENT first anyway. Lidl are flogging hearing aids --- they call them hearing amplifiers, not hearing aids --- for the price of 10 EUR each. For you out Stateside, that would come to circa 18.50 USD for the pair. In the instructions...

...illness. They also believe the measles I had as a child may have contributed. In a few years, I will probably have to stop using hearing aids and switch to a cochlear implant. However, if a cure were to become available in the meantime, I would be absolutely thrilled. I thought Rinri...

...type seems rare, often even without hearing loss or an acoustic neuroma. How can one habituate when some days feel completely normal? Does anyone have any insight or a possible solution? I’m thinking of consulting a neurologist or trying very expensive hearing aids. Thank you for any help.

I'm 74.

How old are you, mate?

...do not want treatment. Tinnitus is the same. We have so many different kinds, too many to list. To tie this together, if you are using hearing aids as part of going into remission, you are not without tinnitus—you are masking it. Does their concept of remission mean it does not bother them...

I'm very sorry that you went through the trouble of getting hearing aids, and they do not help. I do not think that any permanent harm has been done to you by them, but I don't remember many people saying that they helped with their tinnitus. I've had tinnitus for almost 7 years and I wouldn't...

How are your hearing aids tuned? Do they play low-level pink noise or are they tuned to amplify certain frequencies? Have they helped with hyperacusis?

I am pretty sure my tinnitus is at a high frequency, much higher than what hearing aids can produce. For example, when I drop an Allen wrench on a tile or solid floor, the resulting reverberation creates a very temporary residual inhibition for me. This effect lasts only as long as the noise...

If you have hearing loss like I have then the tinnitus becomes more noticeable I find hearing aids are a great help.

...COVID-19 booster. I'm trying "sound therapy" with Widex Zen behind-the-ear maskers to try to habituate. But I wonder if amplifying hearing aids would be more helpful. My hearing is within normal range in both ears (at least up to 8000 Hz), but my left ear threshold is about 10 dB lower...

Deaf individuals with tinnitus can't mask the ringing, making their experience particularly challenging.

...the age of 25, in both ears. Vertigo, motion sickness, hearing loss and yes, tinnitus. Over the years my hearing has got worse. I have hearing aids in both ears. My tinnitus screams 24/7 to the point that it's like my head's in a glass oven on full blast. Sleep is a nightmare, I need meds to...

I really hope the hearing aids help me deal with my tinnitus; I have never had as loud tinnitus as I have now, and I do not have much hope of improving at this point.

...though there was a long wait to get started. However, over the past few days, I’ve noticed a new sound in my right ear. Along with the ringing, there’s now an entirely different noise, and it’s not something I can easily ignore. I manage to mask it somewhat with my tinnitus app on my hearing...

Anyone have any success using the notch therapy function of the Signia hearing aids? Seems interesting.
