They are just bitter. You don’t have to apologize because your suffering—or in this case, lack thereof—is just as valid as someone who developed it suddenly. You are simply used to it. That’s the big difference. You have what they do not. Tinnitus doesn’t need a “pity Olympics.” It’s...

...often (but not always) accompanies tinnitus that is noise induced. Since you are getting pleasure listening to audiobooks through your hearing aids, I don't want to dissuade you from doing this. However, I think it would be remiss of me not to mention, streaming audio through hearing aids...

Hello. Are you still using the hearing aids? If so, are they helping, and what frequency is your tinnitus? Thank you.

Yeah, as if I could not sit still and keep messing things up. Luckily, the spike caused by hearing aids seems to have subsided completely. I am having a quiet tinnitus day - I guess what I call mild now, though would maybe be moderate for others. The hearing aids induced spike was really...

I am honestly at peace and looking forward to getting hearing aids within the next 1-4 years. I don't even feel like dwelling on what could have been if my ears were healthy. I just want to do my best in life now. But I do have a question and that is: will Dr. Shore's device remove the brain...

Gonna give hearing aids a shot soon.

you had this since 2007 wow thats crazy for real. but try hearing aids and see if that helps. if masking helps you im sure hearing aids adjusted right will help distract you. also be on here december 3 2022 for susan shore

Hearing aids help with amplification of noise around you, so the T is not as noticeable. Masking sounds make it worse for me.

Here I am, extrapolating on something I only half understand. But if I recall correctly, Lenire is a combination of sound therapy and a device that “tickles your tongue.” To be a bit fairer, it also involves guided counselling, which in the early stages of tinnitus can be quite important. From...

Have hearing aids helped any of you guys?

...television, transmitting signals via light may transform cochlear implants, creating a more consistent, natural hearing experience. Hearing Aids Hearing aids today use digital technology to receive sound from the environment. In a split second, it converts this sound into digital data. It...

Thank you for your kind words. At first, the new loud humming and ringing in my deaf left ear was difficult to get used to, especially since my original tinnitus was an ultra high-pitched tone in my right ear. I’m not superhuman, so I needed to mask it in order to sleep. I found that sounds...

...I was too focused on my work to care. I do think, unfortunately, that this hearing loss is permanent and sensorineural. I plan to try hearing aids next month. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me. I will come back to post another update once I have tested the hearing aids. I...

Most hearing aids are only good up to 8 kHz. If your hearing loss is in the high frequencies (as is mine), hearing aids will be useless.

I really wish @jacob21 came and answered your questions... My question to @jacob21 is: can you elaborate more on "kind of pain"? Did you ever have burning/stabbing sensation in your ear no matter how light/short lived?

Wearing hearing aids has highlighted my hearing recruitment, with a splashy effect at the limited high frequencies I can hear along with a broken speaker effect.

Thinking about asking for hearing aids with maskers. Unsure if it would make T worse but I feel like I need to do something to cope.

...to exposure to sound that, hasn't always got to be loud. It depends on certain factors. I don't know how long you have been using your hearing aids with integrated white noise generators. If they are responsible for the spike, then I suggest you start to introduce them slowly to your auditory...

Getting more used to my hearing aids. I need to start learning ASL but the anxiety over this whole thing is so paralyzing.

Is this charlatan just selling hearing aids? Plonker!!!

YES, and hearing aids can also contribute to worsening your hearing too.

I am a student at the McCormick School of Engineering, and currently working on a class project about hearing aids. My team and I are working on developing a smart hearing aid that will be able to improve the quality of life for the hearing impaired. We would like to get some feedback from the...

...thing out. Of course, the hearing aid dispensary monopoly also will use that 2 years to lobby hard and convince the FDA that OTC hearing aids are "dangerous" and "not within the consumers best interest". Translation; they are scared to death that FINALLY their lock on overpriced hearing...

...able to find atleast 3 places in my area. One went up to 12.5 khz, another up to 14 khz, and one up to 18 khz! Although, my audiologists only sell hearing aids that go up to 12 khz. These advanced hearing tests may be beneficial to you all in finding extended hearing loss. I wish you the...

Just wanted to know how well they worked?

I have to say that hearing aids are more expensive than ever but the government should definitely step in to make sure everyone has access to at least a midranger to help people get their life back to some normalcy.

I already have a pair of top notch Starkey hearing aids, bread new. But thank you for the financial advisement lol.

...rate, or are there no such rule? I'm really curious. And also, does the T get worse with more hearing loss? I guess it does. That's why some docs recommend hearing aids, yes? If anybody here is suffering from tinnitus due to hearing loss, how much has your hearing reduced over the past years?

...you use for masking (not sure if "masking" is the right term, but hopefully, you know what I mean)? I've come across a lot of different hearing aids and sound generators for tinnitus management, and I’ll need to buy something. There seem to be a lot of options, and cost isn't a concern—I'm...

@Cirq, those who are suffering the most often find out that the only thing that reduces is their wallet.

...minor tinnitus to a more noticeable tinnitus the last 6 months after an increased high pitch hearing loss in the right ear. I wear my hearing aids day and night to mask the sound which is working. Increased blood flow due to strenuous exercise is reason for the left ear's fluctuations per my...

Have hearing aids provided any relief?

...is just playing with me, and maybe I just think I have hyperacusis. Can anyone help me out? I don't have a copy of the audiogram. (Again, this isn't about whether or not hearing aids can help with hyperacusis. This is about whether or not someone can both have hyperacusis and need hearing...

40 dB hearing loss at 8 kHz is not minor. You should try hearing aids. They can be very beneficial for tinnitus.

...threshold in the 1500-2000 Hz range deteriorates 10-15 dB every couple of months since the worsening without apparent reason. He tried hearing aids (only unilateral, because insurance only covered that), IV steroids, CBT, Piracetam, Betahistine. Which complicates things: He has...

Hi @Tim123, Thank you for your kind comments and I'm pleased that I was able to help you. Your audiologist is the best person to advise you whether you need hearing aids. Many people that have tinnitus don't need hearing aids. Take care, Michael

...While I have reduced my dosage over time, I still rely on these medications, hopefully not forever. For tinnitus relief, I use hearing aids with pink noise, which helps a bit. Playing ocean sounds on my phone or a sound machine also aids my sleep. When flying, I rely on noise-canceling...

Cool. I am close to getting my 1st hearing aids--may hold. I am in communication with Bose trying to get a date when this will be for sale. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bose-fda/u-s-approval-for-bose-hearing-aid-a-blow-to-traditional-makers-idUSKCN1MI1KP

...was so mild I could barely hear it and I felt I had made an appointment for nothing. Anyhow, she immediately said she'd order me hearing aids, which arrived a couple weeks later. In the time it took to get the hearing aids, my tinnitus suddenly became 24/7. Not exactly louder than it is at...

bro try hearing aids ASAP, what is the frequency of your tinnitus?

Thanks @Anthony2019, glad they helped you so much! I fear that my hearing loss in right ear is too high for hearing aids to help (around 12,000 Hz) and I also have other tones around 2,000-2,700 Hz, all variable and reactive. Not sure hearing aids can work with reactive tinnitus. Was your...

Hey @Joe Cuber - yes, mine is similar. It's great though that the hearing aids are working, and it's becoming more manageable for you!

Yes, please let me know. I am concerned about the fact that I am already hearing sounds as too loud and hearing aids would amplify it even further. The ENT seemed to indicate that the hearing aids would be set to only amplify sounds at the frequency of my hearing loss.

Okay, so I just found this on the Signia (formerly Siemens brand) hearing aids site. The new ones have a built in notched therapy for tinnitus. I'm actually doing a lot better overall dealing with tinnitus but I was looking at new hearing aids to see what's out there and was wondering if it was...

When my hearing aids are not in, the static now appears to be less than it was before I started using hearing aids.

I asked about hearing aids to my ENT and they were not recommended due to hyperacusis. My ENT said that hearing aids are recommended for people with more hearing loss than me. That's really bad advice, in my opinion...

...to a local pub where I had been many times without issue. That night, a band was playing, and the music was very loud. I took out my hearing aids and moved as far from the speakers as possible, but it wasn’t enough. I should have left—that was the biggest mistake of my life. Not only did the...
