...a bit now and it seems like the concept of not using headphones even at low volumes has been brought up many times. I've also read that hearing aids deliver sound in a different way that's safer for your ears. I think there's a major point that needs to be elaborated on here. Can you play...

...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...

@biggy312, have you had any improvement?

...Therefore, many people who have put on a hearing aid too late perceive new frequencies as unnatural, and in some cases, even with hearing aids, continue to disassemble the speech. It is important to keep these areas of the auditory cortex alive, for this purpose it is recommended to carry...

I am actually going to give TRT a try (meeting is in NY on Tuesday) with Dr. Susan Adams- she says they like to use general hearing aids- has anyone every tried noise generators & TRT? (excuse if there are a thousand threads dedicated to similar questions)

...because they offered none. I never told my wife or children about my condition, as I did not want to worry them. I eventually got hearing aids, which were very expensive, and thought they would help my tinnitus. At first they didn't. Then after a year I found that there were Apps on your...

I had every test imaginable to find the cause of my tinnitus... in the end I finally agreed to use hearing aids... they do an 80% job of masking the high-pitched pulsatile tone.

...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...

...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...

...Joe Perry, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, Bruce Witkin and Tommy Henriksen teamed up with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to distribute hearing aids to over 200 children and adults." Read more: Johnny Depp and His Wife Donate Hearing Aids To Over 200 Children and Adults Bravo! This goes straight...

I've had tinnitus for about 6 months now but the last few weeks have been very quiet apart from last thing at night & first thing in the morning. The tinnitus is in my left ear but the hearing in that ear is very good. The hearing in my right ear is very poor & today I got my hearing aid. I...

...around the 2k mark (+-100). When I notch 2k; I can listen to songs clearly!!! It is incredible to be able to listen to music and not have to worry about distorted hearing! I am wondering if there are hearing aids that could possibly notch every day sounds? To date I have never tried hearing...

...times. I've had numerous ups and down depending on the amount of sleep I get. The more sleep the less tinnitus. I picked up my new hearing aids and my tinnitus is not noticeable during day. At night it's a different story but I am getting more done now. Its has sucked for 3 1/2 years but...

Why is that?

...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...

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...

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...

...from earbuds. I also had a large piece of wax removed shortly after tinnitus started in the same ear. My question is should I try using hearing aids at this stage or wait?? My tinnitus has improved the last 4 weeks. It's noticeably quieter than it was the 1st 3-4 weeks. My hyperacusis has...

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.

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...

Anyone from New Orleans area? If this spike I have continues I really want to seek out the aid of an audiologist to look into hearing aids/masking devices and to talk about Tinnitus Retraining Therapy white noise generators. I found a doctor Mary Miller in Hammond, LA from the ATA website...

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...

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...

My t has really spiked all day, I just took a klonopin to try and calm down. I am on day 4 of trying hearing aids and my ears are screaming. I took them out just now. The weird thing is the last two nights I slept thru the night which I never did before. I usually get woken up in the middle of...

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...

So ever since I heard of hearing aids that produce white noise, I always wondered how they worked. Do they have silent white noise? Is there some sort of thing similar to a volume changer to lower or heighten the white noise? Educate me, I’m really interested haha.

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?

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.

...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...

...6 really bad periods, but habituation has occurred each time. At the moment my tinnitus is so loud, has been for a few weeks. I wear 2 hearing aids for mild to moderate high frequency loss with inbuilt maskers. It became noticeable again when my audiologist turned the internal part of 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.

...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...

...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...

...anyone has stopped taking antidepressants and seen an improvement? I've decided to try & wean myself off the citalopram. I also have hearing aids now but I feel that if my tinnitus went I'd be able to hear better, if that makes sense. My tinnitus is a constant high pitched sound, and this...

...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...

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.

...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...

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...

So I was wondering if anyone has ever had hearing aids but with the volume lowered instead of heightened? I've heard a few people mention this and I'm wondering is this legitimate?

...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...

...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...

My tinnitus came on suddenly accompanied by partial hearing loss in one ear. I was told that a hearing aid would make a difference. Has anyone found that to be true?

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 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...

...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...

Hi, this is my first time here. Since 1993, my work has involved headphone use. I am a realtime broadcast captioner for television. We receive our audio through standard phone lines, the quality isn't the best, and volume always seemed to help. I'm afraid the years have taken their toll on...

Maybe we should view it all like a football match. We all want our team to win the World Cup, but it takes a few years to train a good team. With diligence, hard work, and a good trainer, a team eventually develops that can coordinate things well. At some point along the way, we may even get a...

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...
