...by an insane insurance system. That being said, you can pretty much make an appointment with an audiologist and pay out of pocket for hearing aids, for example. I would guess that Auricle would be similar. Distance is a big problem if the devices need to be adjusted unless they can be...

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. :)

You are allowed to test drive hearing aids. They usually give you a two-week free trial. Just ask in advance when you go in.

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.

...Not sure why it does that. I don't get 8/10 days these days. Today, my non-reactive hiss has been a 7 all day, and I've been wearing my hearing aids all day. I don't think the perception of it drops so dramatically. It goes to about a 5. However, if I listen to ambient nature noises like...

It would have been when I was fitting my second set of hearing aids so probably 4 or 5 years after the initial onset. I can assure you I could not have heard those tones over my tinnitus. My tinnitus sounded (and still sounds) an awful lot like the high frequency tones in the first place and it...

Why do you think this signals a delay, causing a longer wait?

Many members of this forum have been fitted with custom earplugs and hearing aids. As the title says - has anyone in this forum ever experienced any issues during/after the molding process with an audiologist? I recently underwent vestibular testing and was so uneasy when the audiologist was...

@cjbhab, do you mind disclosing which hearing aids you chose? I tried TRT using the Serenade device and frankly it was disappointing, it only seemed to make the tinnitus worse. My hyperacusis is much more pronounced these days, and just wearing musician's earplugs isn't going to make it...

@CL Rangerman, have you tried Clonazepam? Something that works for many with severe tinnitus... You must look at all options. Hearing aids? A combination approach is best so if you have hearing loss, then hearing aids is worthy of a consideration. Magnesium can improve sleep. A combination of...

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...

...understanding people in crowded environments. My wife came with me to an audiologist appointment, and I ended up with a pair of $6000 hearing aids. I wear them occasionally, but if I’m alone watching TV, I don’t turn the volume up too loud. I also don’t hear questions from other rooms, around...

Hello, have you tried hearing aids since? What was your experience?

...ear I've listed all the available options. You'll likely leave the clinic in the same condition. With Treble Health, you get the same hearing aids and sound "therapy" as you would from an audiologist. What you won’t get are medications, as they are not doctors but rather charlatans. You can...

Sarah, It's going to be ok. Try the hearing aids. You could be one of the 1 in 5 that it helps. Have a great night!!! Anthony,

Many thanks, Della. I'm sorry to hear that you're still suffering from this after a decade. I've been doing the same as you—wearing ear protection in similar situations. Deep bass from speakers and the rumble from car suspension (especially over potholes) are particular challenges, as I...

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

Pretty impressive how much it improved on its own. Is your tinnitus mostly in your left ear or whichever is the blue one?

I'd get a second opinion and also look into a steroid like the user above suggested.

I'll be interested to know if the hearing aids help you. I tried my Father-In-Laws and it didn't change my tinnitus much but his were probably lower bandwidth.

...waste money on dentists or chiropractors; they won't help with noise-induced tinnitus. An extended hearing test is also unnecessary, as hearing aids do not work at higher frequencies. If you’re not careful, you may get drawn into all sorts of misinformation from distressed patients, often...

...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...

Only $7.5b lmao. BILLION.

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...

Have you tried hearing aids? They have dramatically reduced my tinnitus. You will know within 10 minutes if they will help you or not.

...I went to an ENT specialist and had an audiogram, which showed 22% word recognition in my bad ear and 72% in my good ear. I now wear hearing aids with a tinnitus suppression noise generator, but, to be honest, it doesn’t help much. I have cognitive behavioral therapy scheduled to begin on...

I use the Phonak Audeo P50 hearing aids. Receiver in the Canal.

Hearing aids have helped reduce the buzzy scratchy distortion i suffer with and helped me hear clearer, although not perfect.

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...

Sorry to hear this happened to you. I have no experience with hearing aids or reactive tinnitus of this kind, but hearing aids are similar to headphones. They emit sound straight to the ear canal - inner ear - auditory system etc, even if it is only a small spectrum of frequencies (custom made...

For the record I’ve tried hearing aids for that reason and they didn’t do a lick of good.

...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...

...by someone else, or whether I should just go back to Boots. But the woman there seemed a bit stern when I said it felt too loud. I'm really starting to wonder whether these hearing aids can actually cause damage. In the meantime, I'm not going to wear it and have bought some earplugs instead.

...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.

...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...

I do have hearing loss, quite bad hearing loss, but I have had this since quite a young age. It wasn't bad enough to need hearing aids, although I did struggle to hear most people. I did a before and after tinnitus audiogram and the hearing loss was the same. I've always been a little...

Which hearing aides do you have? How quickly did you notice the effect of your hearing aids on your tinnitus? Do you know which frequency your tinnitus is?

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.

This is amazing. I guess everyone should have hearing aids.

You're definitely not alone in dealing with this. I'm sorry it hit you at such a young age. I was also offered masking with my hearing aids, but that just felt like adding more noise. Have you been following Lenire? It has gone through multiple trials, received FDA approval, and is now in use...

No, I have not tried them, as all my hearing problems stem from severe hyperacusis. Hearing aids are also not recommended when hearing is very good at lower frequencies and worse (mild - moderate hearing loss) at high frequencies. The brain would have a hard time adjusting to the hearing aids...

Got severe hearing loss or mob connections? If not, you're never going to "persuade" any doctor to give you a cochlear implant.

...Kinetic. If you have straightforward noise-induced tinnitus with or without hyperacusis and have hearing loss, I think the Widex Zen2Go hearing aids are excellent for treating you. Please read my two posts above to the member Sam Rosemary. The Signia Pure Charge and Go with Notched Therapy...

I've posted a three-week update using my hearing aids in the "Hearing Aids" thread: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/posts/630620/

I agree with @Johan001 and believe hearing aids should be worn because you could be exposed to loud noises anytime. Although I haven't got mine yet, my audiologist referred me to them. Good hearing aids block out loud noises.

That’s amazing! I’ve been reading about Widex Moment and Zen hearing aids from others as well that don’t have hearing loss, but have found them to help tremendously with tinnitus. Apparently, this also aids in a type of TRT/habituation for when you don’t have them in. I’m almost 4 months in and...

Saw new AuD in Dec, a tinnitus specialist. get new hearing aids & begin T retraining therapy mid Feb. T is all across my whole head

Hi @Michael Leigh, thanks very much for the detailed response. Yes, I had barely noticeable tinnitus which just recently became constant and loud because of a loud concert (I think the ear infection was a red herring). I'm pursuing HBOT and LLLT right now because those are time sensitive...

Hey @SamRosemary, I just wanted to ask you how the hearing aids are going for you? Do you have reactive/sound sensitive tinnitus at all?

Hi Ben, I have covered white noise generators that incorporate hearing aids a few times in this forum but haven't saved the links to those posts. Please search my post history to find them. You might find the posts in the thread below helpful. The advice your audiologist has given you seems to...

Can I ask why the hearing aids weren't an option for you?

I have the Phonak Audeo P50 hearing aids. Receiver in the Canal. I immediately noticed the effects of the hearing aids once I put them in. It even got better when I went outside of the building that I was in. I'm not sure what the frequency is of my tinnitus, but the hearing loss is equal...

...etc... without it spiking, which it was doing when any of these were on a few weeks back, although the hyperacusis is still there. My left ear goes down to 70 dB, but my right ear is only down to 50 dB at 8 kHz. Thanks for the reply. Doesn't sound as if hearing aids would do much for mine...

That's awesome! You've made a lot of improvements this spring. You mentioned in April that the hearing aids seemed to be making your tinnitus louder at first. Is the tinnitus now softer, or did the volume stay the same and you are just less bothered by it?

...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...
