...tinnitus. They gave all the hearing tests, and my hearing was off for a certain tone. I was told and understand the logic that this is coming from the brain and the brain needs to be retrained. So they sold me hearing aids and they have not helped at all with the tinnitus. It has been 4...

I got my hearing aid today. When I first put it on the tinnitus was barely noticeable. But when I walked around, raised my eyebrows, or opens my mouth, the tinnitus fluctuated. My hearing aid doctor told me that I needed to get used to this. However it seems as if I have already gotten used to...

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...

...my tinnitus. Can the brain do this? I last had a hearing test in 2011. They identified some light hearing loss, but audiologist said hearing aids wouldn't be beneficial. However, I now notice I am struggling in pubs hearing what people are saying and when watching TV, I have to pay real...

...All that progress seems to have been undone by just a few sessions. Has anyone ever recovered from this? Most stories I’ve read about pure tone exposure suggest that the new spike becomes the baseline, along with further hearing loss. Would hearing aids at least make the tinnitus more bearable?

Hello - I'm new to this forum. Last Monday I tried Lyric hearing aids. The left side is fabulous ... they insert it into your ear canal and he sound is natural and you don't even know it's in there. The right side is the problem: The aid caused a blood blister to form and it evidently popped...

...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...

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

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!!

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...

...as a coping mechanism, though I limit my headphone use to 90 minutes a day. Are all your tones maskable with white noise when using hearing aids? Unfortunately, mine aren’t—only the high-pitched ones are—so I turned off the masking. Music or white noise in the background doesn’t really help...

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...

I have used several Oticon hearing aid models, including the OPN 3, More 1, and currently, I’m testing the Intent 1. These are all (mini)RITE-type aids, where the device sits behind the ear, and the speaker goes into the ear canal. There is, of course, a wire connecting the device to the...

Okay, I have experienced this lie and some others have as well. Many hearing aid places have told people the hearing aids can only have a frequency range of up to maybe 7 khz or maybe 8khz. Well, I found one that goes up to 12khz and it was one of the best I have ever used. I was able to...

...tires, yet the noise persisted. At this point, I wonder if it might be my hearing. I recently had it checked and discovered I will need hearing aids. I am not sure if the noise is from hearing loss at high and low frequencies, but my tinnitus has spiked as well. I even tried three sessions...

Okay, I am going to post a document below that explains audiograms and why I believe some people could benefit from hearing aids even though some specialists say you don't need them. This is just my opinion so you'll need to call around to make sure this is an acceptable idea. In the audiogram...

The latest research has shown that hearing damage, whether or not an audiogram is normal, is necessary for tinnitus. This does not mean everyone with hearing loss has tinnitus, but it is necessary for tinnitus (Shore, Djalilian, etc.). Benzodiazepines are not ototoxic. Ototoxic means it causes...

Has anyone with hearing loss and tinnitus go the route of using just a hearing aid as opposed to a dual hearing aid that helps you hear better and to also mask the tinnitus ringing?

...prevent noise and music from triggering my tinnitus, which would greatly improve my quality of life. I have some questions regarding hearing aids. First, I have very narrow ear canals and am concerned that a receiver-in-canal (RIC) device may not fit. The behind-the-ear solution I tested...

...wanted to tell people that are really suffering that even if you have a very mild hearing loss in which a doctor says you don't need hearing aids, it can be a comfort to get some anyways...In the U.S., most places will give you your money back after a certain trial period if you don't like...

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...

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.

I think this is a pile of absolute junk. We already have cross hearing aids that do that.

...as middle ear myoclonus. Professor Bance is the go-to expert for this. As I understand it, pulsatile tinnitus is not usually connected to hearing loss, so I'm unsure if hearing aids are relevant in this case. It sounds like you may have been dismissed, which, unfortunately, doesn't surprise me.

You are very welcome! I hope you find some relief. I forgot to mention that if you massage your back and neck, be sure to pay extra attention to your scalp. The scalp has many nerve endings, and Vata oil can be particularly beneficial when used with a good scalp massage. I've read at least one...

...I track it constantly while working, even with background music or podcasts playing, and I still notice it outdoors. I have tried hearing aids with different types of noise, but nothing masks it. Does anyone with hearing loss across all frequencies only have pure tone tinnitus? Has anyone...

...no more than six frequency points, broadly within the range of human speech. The goal seems to be finding just enough evidence to sell hearing aids, which is frankly embarrassing. When you consider how hearing loss occurs and the variety of tones present in everyday sounds, hearing aids can...

...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...

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?

Hi all, new here! After nonstop reading on the subject of tinnitus, this paper gives me hope!

I also wonder what shooting amplified sound waves into the cochlea is doing to the undamaged hair cells. We've already observed low-frequency sounds damaging both low and high-frequency hair cells as well as higher frequencies damaging adjacent hair cells.

@Dr. Nagler, I have spoken with you before about TRT and hearing devices with masking capability. I have decided the best option for me in to try hearing devices. My TRT has gone well and helped me understand more about my T. My audiologist carries the ReSound brand and therefore this is...

Do not ever touch them unless you have an actual hearing loss below 4 kHz. I have severe reactive tinnitus, and the use of hearing aids to play crickets very quietly for less than an hour set me back for weeks or months, and I perhaps have not fully recovered. Do you have hearing loss anywhere...

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

...it was a waste of time because: I will inevitably have high-frequency hearing loss. I don't have any prior test results for comparison. Hearing aids are ineffective at high frequencies. Knowing my tinnitus frequency doesn't impact current treatment options. It won't affect future treatment...

...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...

I was in a a doctor's office years ago with my tinnitus really loud and annoying in both ears. The doctor said I did not need hearing aids because I only had a mild loss. Several years later I insisted upon getting hearing aids at another place and they helped with tinnitus. You might can...

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

If you do get insurance to cover hearing aids, I strongly suggest considering devices that produce pink, white, or brown noise. In my case, pink noise provides a slight sense of comfort. I use these devices when my tinnitus becomes severe. As for audiologists and even ENTs, there is often...

Glad you resolved that issue my elder brother. Now that you stopped pulling your hearing aids out, you can work on not pulling your pecker out as the neighbors may get vexed with your eccentric behavior. Love and hugs to you and the family. Stay well Elmer. Daniel

...masking is interrupting because of my clicking sounds. This app on my iPhone which I purchased just for Bluetooth connectivity to my hearing aids is able to mask much better. When using the rain sounds, I'm not noticing much of the interruptions so that is a huge benefit. It doesn't mask...

...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 live in the mountains so I can step outside any time and extract myself to pee any damn place I want, with or without my hearing aids.

I have a high-pitch hearing-loss in my right ear. This is the ear I also have tinnitus. Today I found out some interesting stuff. I was taking a shower, and as always my tinnitus spikes a little because of the noise. But, today, I found out that, if I plug only my left ear when showering, the...

...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...

...best surgeons can't restore it 100% if there's scar tissue or issues with the stapes footplate. This study is one of the first I've seen regarding bone-anchored hearing aids and tinnitus. The one they used in the study is the Med-El Bone Bridge, which is pretty advanced. The other one is the...

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I just recently got hearing aids too. But I feel like my tinnitus has gotten worse with them on because now I'm hearing more noise which makes my tinnitus worse. I'm trying to decide if I should keep them. I have 2 weeks left to decide.

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.

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.

...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...
