For those who wear hearing aids; do you use cross-over aides? My ENT has recommended I get Phonack Cross-over hearing aids. His “theory” is since I have little hearing with very bad word recognition in my left ear, the aides will “cross-over” the sound to the good ear, bypassing my bad ear. The...

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

That not correct. He said it helps 30% of the patients. I have friends who tried hearing aids for tinnitus and they didn't help them much. There might be some tinnitus patients who benefit from hearing aids, but seems to be rare.

...at this point. That makes sense. It will help you figure out whether your hearing has stabilized or not. At some point, it may be beneficial for you to look into hearing aids. Also, consider doing hearing tests at various other providers so you don't have a provider-driven bias in your...

...all. as you know, I am always looking for some relief, following a dramatic deterioration in the summer 2013(coinciding with the use of hearing aids...or not...). Doing much research, I came across in Lyme disease. Some of you knows that I was a fan of motorcycling and excursions. Well, in...

...one. Recently this past week, I had it for 5 days non stop in my right ear. I am about to go back to my audiologist to get fitted for hearing aids and I will bring up the possibility of Pulsatile Tinnitus then. I have 2 questions. What is the process of being diagnosed with PT? And, I...

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.

...for a couple of days. I’m not taking any medication currently. I want to heal to 100% so bad. I made such a huge mistake. My ENT said my hearing is done healing which leaves me quite depressed. He also said I don’t need hearing aids, but I don’t like the way I currently hear; I know it’s off.

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

I think I am going to try Ghost Pipe. Thanks @Kevin Tavin. I have the same type of tinnitus. Monaural and I wear hearing aids. I am tapering off Klonopin, Mirtazapine and Clonodin. How much of the Ghost Pipe tincture do you take and at what time?

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

...but this reminds me I should go in and have things checked. They're the ones who made my two sets of custom earplugs and who got me my hearing aids. I chose them because they work a lot with professional musicians and understand the unique challenges. → https://rkaudiology.com/ What did...

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

...chirping away, when I say host I’m hoping that’s the right description for a hedgerow packed with sparrows all chirping at once. I have hearing aids with tinnitus support, but they are not that helpful. Has anyone looked into Cortexi? It’s American and can only be purchased online. I tried...

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

...goes. I know my tinnitus is from hearing loss/noise trauma, although I do not have severe enough hearing loss to "qualify" for regular hearing aids. https://www.cubex.co.uk/news/participate-tinnitus-trial-24-7-sound-enrichment-tinnitus-relief What do you guys think, should I join it? Do I...

What was the trajectory of your hyperacusis? It has presumably improved? Over what duration?

...hypercusis. The former overall got much worse over time, the latter somewhat improved. Just one word of warning. I only recently tried hearing aids, more like TRT. 1 hour of quiet playing of a cricket sound hugely set me back, I feel permanently. So be careful, and if you try them, introduce...

...and this is the only thing we're going to have in the next 80+ years probably. Hopefully I will be able to accept the stigma against hearing aids and not feel insecure about them. I know we all have different life struggles, and this is my life struggle, but it hurts knowing that it could...

Hi. Sorry, I was abroad... Regarding hearing aids, I have a slight correction in the high frequencies (> 8000 Hz) but what helps me the most is the white noise at a very low level, at the frequency of my tinnitus. This white noise is located around a frequency of 10 kHz (TRT concept). It's not...

I tried a set for one hour, to play some sound enrichment quietly. Now for the past 3 weeks I have had a tremendous setback, catastrophic tinnitus 70% of the time, pushing me closer to suicide than ever. If one has reactivity and/or hyperacusis, I'd strongly recommend not trying hearing aids.

...loss, at high frequency, so it doesn’t seem to affect my day to day hearing and conversations with people. But darn, that sounds worrisome. Supposedly with hearing aids this can be fixed, so that’s comforting but I don’t want to wear hearing aids at my age! Shoot... Any thoughts on the subject?

Thank you for your reply, Stephan. It means so much to me! I will try using hearing aids and massage, and I'll ask about Gabapentin.

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

I do not have hearing loss. However, I use Oticon hearing aids that have built-in sound generators for tinnitus therapy. My audiologist disabled the hearing aids via computer, so these devices operate purely as sound generators for tinnitus and hyperacusis if it is present. These devices...

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...

I didn't know my hearing was as bad as it was until I tried the hearing aids. If you do try them, make sure you try the pair and not just one hearing aid for one ear.

Implants and prostethics can never be substitutes for natural hearing. The day natural restoration comes, the market for hearing aids and implants will definitely go down.

Finally going to be able to talk to an ENT next month, need me some hearing aids.

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.

In my case, although hearing aids didn't lower my tinnitus, they made my hearing better. But after I achieved "catastrophic" level tinnitus, I had to stop using them as they aggravated my tinnitus.

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!

...features. I am only using the noise generator feature. It's been a life saver the last 2 years. Unfortunately I am going through a rather bad spike right now that began around a week ago, which I hope subsides - I am thankful for the hearing aids during this spike as they make it a lot...

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. :)

...'may' prescribe steroids, but it depends on how long ago the trauma happened. Then, he will most likely send you to an audiologist for hearing aids. I guess the question is, if they did find hearing loss, what do they do? Hearing loss can not be repaired anyway. If it isn't hearing loss...

Hearing aids aren't suitable for those with severe tinnitus. It's as simple as that. They aren't called "tinnitus aids" for a reason. For those with mild-to-moderate tinnitus, pretty much anything goes; exposure to normal everyday sounds, visits to restaurants etc. As the damage is only...

...a lot, in movies, while driving, at the grocery store, you name it. If it’s just tinnitus and the environment isn’t overly loud, I wear hearing aids. I first got them in 2014 when I started experiencing low-frequency tinnitus because I literally couldn’t hear over the sounds in my head. The...

...on the day. The non-reactive tinnitus is by far my more intrusive one, seriously wears me down on the day I have it. I chose to get hearing aids because of 3 reasons. One, I was hoping it would "reduce the contrast" of my non-reactive tinnitus--by providing my ears the sounds it is deprived...

I think we have similar tinnitus. Mine sounds like a subwoofer in the distance, pulsing. It also worsens after driving short distances, but it disappears after long drives. It has been really tough. I am still in the acute phase and hoping to manage it. I just wanted to let you know that you are...

...was caused by attending loud concerts. I understand the way that you feel at the moment. Coupled with the fact that you have been given hearing aids with white noise, that has been tuned by your audiologist to mask your tinnitus can cause some confusion, as you are not sure the correct way...

...somewhere in one of the papers that your condition could be surgically corrected (quite successfully), if it comes down to it. I tried hearing aids a few months ago but they didn’t work for me. My mild hearing loss in left ear is between 4000 and 8000 Hz; my tinnitus frequencies are way...

I started using hearing aids 2 years ago and they have dramatically reduced the ringing in my ear. I believe that they only help if you have a substantial hearing loss. You will know within 10 minutes of trying them on if they will help you.

...The proper devices need to be used when playing sound directly into the ear. These are wearable white noise generators with or without hearing aids. It is best to be under the care of an audiologist, that specialises in tinnitus and hyperacusis treatment who will be able to advise you. I am...
