When I take out my hearing aids, it always does a feedback sound in my ear. Could that make my tinnitus worse? I always get anxiety to take them out because I feel like damage is happening and I fear it is making my tinnitus worse. I have the smallest hearing aids (the ones that go in the...

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

...a volume control. By doing this, the tinnitus will usually be reduced. Therefore, it's important you are fitted with a hearing aid(s). Hearing aids can also be fitted with white noise generators. Tinnitus comes in many forms and intensities; not two people experience it differently. If...

...physical damage, or genetic history of hearing loss. My audiologist basically said she doesn't know either but said I qualify for hearing aids whenever I feel that I need them. With regards to hearing aids, I'm wondering if they work like glasses would. So if you're told you have a mild...

...was very poor. A hearing test confirmed what I already knew after the micro suction of impacted wax, and their suggestion was hearing aids. But I think I have just found a solution myself. After trying countless methods, such as saline flushes, steroidal nasal sprays, steam treatments...

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...

...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...

Greetings all, first post, tinnitus is a new affliction for me, probably only five weeks or so at the most. I'll get around to introducing myself and with added questions later, but have found one conventional opinion really difficult to find: Since I have sudden moderate hearing loss in only...

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...

With this type of unstable tinnitus that fluctuates, the brain sometimes tries to interpret the noise as something more structured. It searches through your memory and starts playing random music. I once had a research link showing brain activity related to old memories in this type of tinnitus...

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...

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...

...of the day in his room. Here are some of the descriptions he gives for the noise he is hearing: We have seen ENTs, but all they offered were hearing aids. At this point, he can no longer tolerate maskers. He feels hopeless and completely defeated. Is there any help available for him?

...was screaming. That incident triggered a spike in my stress levels that lasted for over two weeks. When we left to go home and were in the car, I said, "Never again ask me to go visit those people who cannot control their child." Have you thought of hearing aids with a tinnitus masking app?

...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...

...decided to, at last, sign up to this forum to hear others' stories and learn more about tinnitus. I have hearing loss and been wearing hearing aids since my late 20's. My hearing loss is most severe in low tones. Tinnitus has been getting worse for me in the past 5 years. So, here I am!

Hi, has anyone heard of the hearing loss pill? It claims to help regain hearing loss in 79% of people by supplementing the nerves in the inner ear. It also claims to reduce tinnitus in 66% of people. Review Of The Hearing Loss Pill : Shear Hearing Loss And Hearing Aids

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

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?

...and sometimes we didn't. My tinnitus is a loud piercing zinging in both ears, dominant in the left. Bad hearing is corrected by hearing aids which have installed tinnitus features such as ocean waves and white noise controlled by the aids along with downloaded "music" apps of various kinds...

...many possible options. The main reason I am posting now is because I saw my GP, who made a referral to an audiologist since I need new hearing aids and my hearing has worsened over the last few years. I should have known, but once again, I met with someone with numerous framed "signifiers"...

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.

...so yesterday I went to speak to somebody. She was really nice and friendly and I felt really comfortable with her. She had me try a few hearing aids that were quickly programmed to give me an idea of how they would help. It was amazing. Until the tinnitus started I had not realized how much...

I've seen these mentioned in several posts but when I google it, it seems to be hearing aids sold at a place in Nebraska. So duh, I'm confused. Is there an actual brand name for these masking hearing aids? I'm new at this, do please pardon me if i am asking the wrong question.

...then don't mess with it. You'll absolutely get used to it in time. There's not much an ENT can do for tinnitus besides: Steroids Hearing aids (for hearing loss within the 250 Hz - 10,000 Hz range) Maskers CBT Antidepressants (which can exacerbate tinnitus, but depends on the individual)...

...some fluid but nothing conclusive), and I've tried decongestants, nasal sprays, and even sound therapy using ocean/white noise through hearing aids. I also get neck and shoulder tension, sometimes a weird adrenaline-type rush in the back of my neck after a bad phase, and I wonder if this...

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

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

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.

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

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

...I used a generic version of Flonase that I ordered from Walmart, along with a generic ear pressure relief device. I also put in my Widex Moment hearing aids. I seem okay for now, but I am not sure what helped. I hope the static noise calms down for you. It could be Eustachian tube dysfunction.

...and you might find it more manageable. My tinnitus hasn't gone away, but it has improved compared to when it first started. Even on bad days, I'm better equipped to handle it than I used to be. Using hearing aids that provide sound enrichment can also be helpful. Wishing you the best. Take...

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

I have had tinnitus all my life with the ringing being a constant tone at approx 1750hz. I also suffer from Hyperacusis which affects me to a greater degree under stress. When I go to a movie, which is rare, I always wear ear plugs. I did see an audiologist about a year ago and my tinnitus...

I did turn this around 2 times with white noise generators and so can you. Unfortunately there is no quick fix. You have to give it time.

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...

Gonna give hearing aids a shot soon.

...years I have trouble hearing in groups of people and one on one. The specialist I saw was rude and very aggressive in pushing $ 6000.00 hearing aids on me. She had only one concern and that was selling me a hearing aid. If this treatment you get when visiting a specialist (doctor) than I...

@tomytl, I don’t know about you, but I genuinely feel like disappearing or dying. Since hearing tests don’t show any loss, hearing aids don’t work for me and never will. I’m convinced I have cochlear synaptopathy because every hearing test I’ve taken results in doctors telling me, “There’s...

Have hearing aids helped any of you guys?

Have hearing aids provided any relief?

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.

...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...

How long were you doing the TRT for, and how long ago? I have read that it's not effective, so maybe time and natural healing while being careful with hearing protection would have resulted in the same. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Is Ineffective, Latest Study Finds

...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...

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

...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?

Agreed. Tinearity is a white noise generator and is more unsightly than the Widex hearing aids I have which are already generating sounds (and which do nothing for my tinnitus). The Auricle device is designed to actually lower the volume of your tinnitus. Just waiting patiently for its release.
