If your hearing aids and white noise are working for you, that's great @Elmer B Fuddled. You are doing the right thing by keeping the white noise below the tinnitus, not masking it or completely covering it up so it can't be heard. This practice usually causes more problems than good, as it can...

Let your son know that extremely severe tinnitus after acoustic trauma is often temporary, and it usually improves over the course of months or years. Habituation also tends to develop over time, making everything more manageable. In the meantime, tell him not to panic. Encourage him to stay...

...ear hearing loss is very similar to mine. My tinnitus is somewhere in the 8000 Hz to 12000 Hz range. Can you please provide some details regarding your first experience with TRT and hearing aids? I did try hearing aids but I think they were programmed in the wrong frequencies (4000-8000...

...that. The reduction in tinnitus volume has been most important to me. Here is what I do: Carry earmuffs everywhere. Bought Widex hearing aids with sound therapy and masking. I have decreased the tonal masking volume from a 6 to a 2 when I am at home in quiet, but I still use them every day...

Hi Vicki I have just joined this group and I am really interested to hear if you have got any further with the tinnitus/allergy connection. I am currently in the process of trying to convince my doctor that I need to see an allergy specialist rather than be given hearing aids! Thank you.

For those who wear hearing aids; do you use cross-over aides? My ENT has recommended I get Phonack Cross-over hearing aids. His “theory” is since I have little hearing with very bad word recognition in my left ear, the aides will “cross-over” the sound to the good ear, bypassing my bad ear. The...

I believe you're wrong. Each person's case is as unique as a fingerprint. Sound, intensity, and every other factor vary from individual to individual. The only thing common to all is the source - the DCN, and the cause - hyperactive fusiform cells.

...take that drug for life and be your customer. What I'm more concerned about is the practice of audiology in the US, just slinging hearing aids endlessly like they're the cure-all we need. It costs, on average, nearly $5K USD for hearing aids, and that doesn't include appointments for...

What are these hearing aids called?

Hearing aids are free in the UK.

Hi @SueX, Just wondering how your hearing is going. Have they managed to stop the pulsatile sound? I have similar issues. There is a right-sided neurovascular conflict seen at the trigeminal root entry zone, caused by the ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery. And, like you, there is...

...Counseling for distress. Tinnitus can be emotionally overwhelming, and counseling can help manage its impact on your mental health. 2. Hearing aids. If hearing loss is detected, hearing aids may provide some relief. 3. Medications. Look into established protocols, such as: - Dirk De...

...goes. I know my tinnitus is from hearing loss/noise trauma, although I do not have severe enough hearing loss to "qualify" for regular hearing aids. https://www.cubex.co.uk/news/participate-tinnitus-trial-24-7-sound-enrichment-tinnitus-relief What do you guys think, should I join it? Do I...

...increased the decibels around my tinnitus frequency (4 kHz). I tried to ask about TRT but she just seemed focused on selling me these hearing aids with maskers. It really helped mask the tinnitus. But my goal with the TRT was to habituate to the sound, not to mask it. I don't want to become...

...and when I pressed the headphone against my left ear, I could hear every instrument, vocals etc. more clearly. And the same is true of hearing aids. When I put on the hearing aids, I can hear the difference between the ears immediately. Is there any abnormality in me that could be corrected?

Hearing aids work well. Only time I use them is for sleep.

...fell on deaf ears. It was all about the money. She referred me back to the VA, but they do not have Lenire where I go. I had gotten hearing aids years earlier. So, while deep in depression and without 5,000 dollars sitting around, I gave up on Lenire. I got used to my tinnitus, came out of...

have you tried hearing aids yet?

Thank you - I appreciate that. Ahh so you are saying that wearing hearing aids whilst using the device may boost hearing enough to hear the prescribed 50 dB or better range? I hadn't seen that, but that is an interesting way to look at it - thanks.

I’m also hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. It’s against the law to not give me a job because of that, but how would you prove it?

...loss, at high frequency, so it doesn’t seem to affect my day to day hearing and conversations with people. But darn, that sounds worrisome. Supposedly with hearing aids this can be fixed, so that’s comforting but I don’t want to wear hearing aids at my age! Shoot... Any thoughts on the subject?

...of tinnitus. While herpes is a common condition, speculating on the specific cause of auditory system damage is generally unproductive. There are limited treatment options available, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hearing aids, cochlear implants, and certain medication...

As someone who put off getting hearing aids, I wholeheartedly agree with these statements. Hearing loss also causes you to lessen your social interaction and increases your risk of depression. I am like a kid in the candy store now that I have hearing aids. I am amazed by the amount of sounds...

Hello. I found another thread that addresses binaural beats. It looks like some people have improved. There were a variety of responses and discussions. Good luck.

I use earplugs, but they don’t seem to help me. Silicone ones are especially frustrating because they always fall out of my ears no matter what I do. It feels like I’m not only cursed with this condition but also with small ear canals that make it hard to get a proper fit with earplugs to...

So I have tinnitus, but if I put my hearing aids in, I hear less of the ringing. I was wondering if there are supplements that could help me because I have mild hearing loss and if some day I could get to the point where I wouldn't need hearing aids. :)

It is interesting to me, that in the Hearing Aids thread, @Quiet please talks about significant relief from hearing aids which transmit the sound from one ear to the other ear. She says she got this relief after years of no relief from normal hearing aids. (Her posts start on page 24 of that...

...even possible for me. Dr. Keaner (spelling?) at Illuminear seemed very knowledgeable, but I haven't tried any real therapy with her. I think she could provide me with masking hearing aids, but I also have some hyperacusis in my right ear, which means sound therapy doesn't always feel...

My tinnitus is still as loud, annoying, and intrusive as when the accident and spike occurred. I am getting hearing aids in a week. I hope the correction for my high-frequency hearing loss and sound therapy will help. I am going to give my auditory system some time to improve. If not, I will go...

Some people say this and others say you need to wear hearing aids for a while for them to work. Would it be possible to set up an online question for this? Something like: I have used hearing aids, and they are benefiting me. A) The benefit was perceptible within less than 30 minutes of...

...sleep seems to be important as I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a while back. I often nap forgetting to put on my Bi-Pap mask. Hearing aids seem to help my tinnitus but can be hit or miss. I have inexpensive hearing aids with a small remote and also Widex Moment which I need my iPhone...

...by the NHS on to TRT treatment. It's sporadic treatment - I have a counselling session about once a month and am due to get fitted with hearing aids. I've been given WNGs but so far they are not making a difference. I don't think the hearing aids will work as I have low pitch hearing loss in...

I was so hopeful even after they said the price. $7000.00 !!! Then a pause. "Oh your insurance won't cover these" I felt like I had been shot in the face. I knew in my heart that they would only cover up the T anyway and I tried to just shrug it off...but it broke me. I feel very alone. My...

Hello @SFBay - I found your post and I was wondering if the hearing aids are still helping? A bit of my story. Over the past two years I’ve got into a routine of using sound therapy at home including sometimes before or after sleep to help manage my tinnitus and its impact on my wellness. I...

Hearing aids have substantially reduced the ringing in my ears. If your hearing loss is severe, they may help. You will know within the first 10 minutes of trying them.

Careful with sticking anything sound producing into your ears. Hearing aids with "masking" massively set me back a month ago only after using them (quietly) for an hour! I am finally recovering, it seems. Besides, you are only 1 month in? Give your ears a rest, protect but do not overprotect...

I bought hearing aids and wore them for about a year and found that they helped with my high frequency hearing loss, until my tinnitus became louder without explanation. I set them aside for several weeks and realized that my tinnitus was slowly getting quieter. Never wore them again.

...is sometimes a sign that a hearing loss will occur. Does this mean that if the hearing loss will occur (if this is the case) the tinnitus will go away? I ask this because I only know two young people with severe hearing loss and they always wear hearing aids. But none of them has tinnitus.

Actually, I edit audio and video (or at least I could before tinnitus turned my life upside down). In Final Cut Pro, there is an “EQ” filter that can be applied to a soundtrack, and you can adjust the settings to notch out higher frequencies. Mine is at 14,600 kHz, and this is how I set it up...

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with hearing aids to help with tinnitus. I am looking into the possibility of getting one. I'm having trouble finding definitive results and or research. I did learn that my insurance provider will cover up to $1,00.00 USD. So that is good...

Friday was a long day. Ten minutes into the treatment, the machine broke down, so I had to move to another machine and start the process all over again. In total, I spent 30 minutes flat on my back.

Yes, so true, after all, hearing aids are just like earplug headphones. If they are too loud, the damage should be the same.

...I fall asleep by using the tinnitus as background noise as I sing songs in my head - don't laugh, it works for me! (y) I began wearing hearing aids in the 90's and just recently purchased my 4th pair ($3400 - OUCH!) This is the reason I am here. For some reason, I am having a severe...

Basically, I am looking for a hearing aid that instead of white noise, has a water stream sound to it instead of white noise. I believe this will block my tinnitus out better.

I have hearing loss and tinnitus. I've had hearing aids for about five years. I use the app BeMore; it has a wide variety of tinnitus masking abilities, including noise filtering, sensitivity, adjustable pitch, and the ability to keep the white below the tinnitus, which can be variable each day...

...you notice any improvement in your hearing loss after the rock concert? Did your audiogram reflect this change? Did you consider using hearing aids? Can you tell me more about why you think this is psychosomatic, and a bit more about your history? Do you have any other symptoms or...

...It’s very uncomfortable, and I don’t know how much longer I can live with it like this. I’d like to be sure of the cause before considering hearing aids. Would a tympanostomy tube theoretically relieve the pressure immediately? Is it risky, and does anyone have experience with this procedure?

...1. Counseling for distress. Tinnitus can take a toll on your mental health, and counseling can help you manage the emotional burden. 2. Hearing aids. If hearing loss is detected, hearing aids can sometimes provide relief. 3. Consider medications. If you want to explore this option, look...

It is the cost that prevents most people from purchasing hearing aids.

I have the Widex Moment hearing aids. One went bad so they have to send it in. They think it’s the lithium battery. I don’t know if Widex Moment hearing aids are only maskers? Okay, I was supposed to meet with their Sales Representative. I like the Bluetooth built in. I have to use my phone to...

I don't know if a cheap pair of OTC hearing aids will work as well. Go to a hearing aid center and try them all. I would try the expensive ones first. If they don't help, the cheaper one's won't for sure.

The protocol when doing TRT is to set the masking noise just below the level of your tinnitus.

...He went to get a test at a Sydney-based clinic, where an audiologist very quickly urged him to buy a set of hearing aids priced at nearly $12,000. Audiologists are outrageous! A Background Briefing investigation has found that even audiologists who don’t directly work for manufacturers...

I tried some really expensive custom hearing aids a few months ago. The audiologist programmed it to my mild hearing loss between 4000 and 8000 Hz. Thinking back, it probably didn’t work, because my tinnitus frequencies were way higher than those. I will let you know how these new sets work...

Can cheap OTC hearing aids do the trick or do you need the expensive ones?

That not correct. He said it helps 30% of the patients. I have friends who tried hearing aids for tinnitus and they didn't help them much. There might be some tinnitus patients who benefit from hearing aids, but seems to be rare.
