Hi all, I started singing with the band at my church this past January. I have a moderate hearing loss and tinnitus and wear hearing aids. This has been the first time I've sung with electric guitars, drums and general amplification. A couple weeks ago, I noticed that I was hearing some tinnitus...

...my anxiety without the noted side effects of Amitripyline. Second prong aside from best meds to reduce my anxiety is with respect to hearing aids. I am now 64 y.o. and no question I have some level of high frequency hearing loss but overall I have functioned pretty well without hearing...

...in-canal hearing aid would do the dual purpose trick of: Acting as a partial plug to reduce sharp sounds that triggers distortions, while amplifying environmental sounds to mask the ringing? I have no experience with hearing aids, so please let me know if this makes sense with current...

There’s no guarantee that hearing aids will even help improve your hearing. I have hearing loss and found hearing aids completely useless. At the end of the day, they are just fancy amplifiers, and if your hearing damage causes distortion, diplacusis, or loss of clarity, they won’t be of much...

...- I am a 21 year old guy. My hearing has never been 100% since birth, but good enough to get by in daily situations without the use of hearing aids (doctors allowed me to ditch hearing aids at the age of around 4 or 5). Anyway, 4 years ago, I have gotten moderate tinnitus and, to a lesser...

What is life like for you? Is it hard to go out, explain the hearing aids to friends/people who cross paths with you? Do you still go out to bars or clubs?

Someone needs hearing aids? I own a pair of hearing aids open fitting Re-Sound Alera VO961 / DW wireless flesh-colored. Are not helpful in tinnitus (in my opinion) and do not possess the masking option. Only helps you feel better if you have significant hearing loss. Used only for 6 months...

What do you think about the fact that many tinnitus clinics sell hearing aids to almost every patient if there is even the slightest sign of (age-appropriate?) hearing loss?

My father has severe hearing loss and finally decided to get hearing aids a few months back. The audiologist told him that in the first few weeks/days, many things will sound painful because his brain is not used to processing noise that loud anymore. He also claimed that his brain would adapt...

Hi all, I just have a question. I have hearing aids (zero amplification, I have no hearing loss) that play white noise. It's better than living with tinnitus but it's also highly irritating and the volume needs to be up fairly high making it quite unpleasurable. Rain sound on the other hand is...

why does insurance not cover hearing aids there's no reason for them not to only reason is bad reason medical industry truly does not care about general public's health it's all about money sensorineural hearing loss is not being taken seriously so many people suffering omg we need cure urgently...

...losing her ability to enjoy television and conversations with family and friends. She is currently using Sonic Radiant miniRITE 60 T R hearing aids. They seem to not be working properly. We have had her go to a local hearing specialist at a branch of Hearing Life and additionally, she has...

Hi buddy! Do you use hearing aids in your daily life?

Has anyone tried Phonak hearing aids? I’ve been reading a Facebook group, and people seem to have very positive feedback.

...hear ambient noise. It'll be like the impacted frequencies are in a soundproof room. I've made a flowchart to get the point across. Hearing aids could also be effective with sensorineural hearing loss. So why aren't people without tinnitus being given hearing aids when they have hearing...

...I had my baby with me and since it was babbling all the time, I was very distracted during the hearing test. The newly adjusted hearing aids were so loud, I did all things very carefully and once I heard church bells it really hurt. I went to the hearing aid acoustician again today and it...

I'm a person with hearing loss who doesn't use hearing aids to improve my hearing. But I perceive my tinnitus louder, not less. The tinnitus stands out even more when the environmental sounds are quieter due to hearing loss. Hearing aids amplify actual sounds, not tinnitus. So they can create...

Hello, I reecntly tried hearing aids from my friend just for couriosity what is the sound perception through them (I have pretty good hearing just T is what bothers me). What I noticed in a silent room the hearing aids themselves produce some delicate hum similar to the white noise maskers I...

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience with this possible permanent spike, Joseph. Yes, hearing aids can be a bit of a double-edged sword when it comes to hyperacusis and sound sensitivity. You need to address these issues with your audiologist. The hearing aids must be set and...

I was wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to try these new EARLENS hearing aids? They are supposed to increase and target the high-pitch hearing loss typically associated with tinnitus. It's not a masker. It's a hearing aid that fits on your eardrum much like a contact lens fits on...

I have used Widex with Zen Hearing aids for two weeks now from my audiologist. You have 30 days to try them. I have not seen any improvement yet. Anybody in this forum have any experience with these. Let me know if anybody has used these.

I’m so happy to hear that you’ve found a major improvement! Welcome to the site! There are many kind and helpful people here who can support you.

Do you wear hearing aids? If you want to eleborate, you may comment below. Also, if you really like or really dislike these polls, let me know.

Good morning! I would like to tap your collective wisdom today about ear pressure and hearing aids. I have bilateral hearing loss. I have tinnitus, not normally bothersome (though all this testing is making me aware of it). For about 1 1/2 years (see my introductory thread) I've had...

Hearing aids do not 'undistort' distorted hearing; they only amplify sound.

...that your tinnitus is now making this awful time even more difficult for you. I would recommend that you don't worry too much about the hearing aids at the moment. Waiting a few months or so is not going to make a difference. That said, it's not a bad idea to use hearing aids preemptively...

In my opinion, they are a poor treatment for hearing loss. It’s essentially the same as using a magnifying glass to improve vision. The branding and marketing are just ways to make money off you. Cochlear implants offer a good solution, but they aren’t suitable for most people. It’s almost...

...left ear that has tinnitus. They want to first start CBT to manage my tinnitus. And if that won't help me enough they want to give me hearing aids. Do hearing aids help me even if I have tinnitus that reacts to some sounds? Are there people on here that use hearing aids even with tinnitus...

I first realised that I had tinnitus in July 2022 around the time I visited our local audiology clinic where I was fitted with two hearing aids which were badly needed for moderate hearing loss. It was probably a coincidence that my tinnitus began at the time I started using the hearing aids...

I’m in the same boat. I actually have a counseling appointment tomorrow and a group session at another time. I’d love to hear normally without hearing aids—I don’t want to go deaf. I’m also trying to connect with others who are hard of hearing or deaf, and I’m hopeful that will be helpful as well.

...here with a long-term tinnitus history. I am profoundly deaf, but I am able to hear well enough to get along with the more powerful hearing aids. Hearing aids also are what have enabled me to live with tinnitus. Until now. I need new hearing aids and so far have tried two...

...was that I had damaged my ears and could not hear high pitched frequencies anymore [can't remember the kHz]. They also gave me these hearing aids / maskers, that play a pitch that cancels out the tinnitus. They also said that I had a little wax in my right ear. Anyway I wore the aids in my...

Maybe I’m mistaken, but I was under the impression that there are no hearing aids on the market that can physically produce sounds above 8 kHz. We can certainly create notched audio files above 8 kHz, but I thought hearing aids were not capable of generating sound in that range.

...I’m almost deaf in my left ear and have tinnitus in both ears. I hear buzzing in my left ear and ringing in my right ear. I need these hearing aids, and the quality is amazing! I hear buzzing in my left ear and ringing in my right ear. I hear two distinct sounds. I went to Miracle Ear...

Are there hearing aids with amplification up to 10-12 kHz to compensate for the loss at these frequencies?

...hearing loss in my right ear, and I also have hyperacusis and tinnitus. However, it has improved over time. I cannot give you advice on hearing aids, as I found that structured, gentle sound therapy helped me immensely. I also used in-ear sound generators but have since stopped using them...

...scared. Hearing test shows moderate to high frequency loss, lower tones fine. I was hoping to be given maskers but no, small hearing aids that MIGHT help. Such a lovely lady but once again seems like a dead end. Sound proof room seems to have made T go mad and a new noise to join the others...

...hell. I can totally mask the T with them. But I keep the volumn low enough to here the T so I can eventually get used to it without the hearing aids. When I sleep at night I use a white noise machine and wear my right aid only. I can here the noise maker and sleep all night. I also...

I asked because many people here use Widex, a brand often recommended by audiologists for tinnitus. However, I have not found it helpful and am looking for a better option. Glad to hear that Miracle Ear works well for you.

Hi all What a night ,lost my hearing aids (now found) usually wear them in bed to knock some of the T out. Boy oh boy id forgotten how loud my ears can get.Telling you ten out of ten noise ,I honestly do not know how i would cope without the aids.it took me back to 2010 when an ear infection...

...me something. I don't have a perfect hearing, not deafness but not optimal for my twenty years. So as I know that one day i will wear hearing aids, i would like to ask you how does it feels to have an hearing aid? Is it comfortable, is it good for restaurants, cinema, how do you cope with...

Has anybody considered hearing aids path to get some relief ? We know that hearing aids can help only if we have have hearing loss in human hearing range upto maybe 6-7khz but I read that we now have high frequency loss hearing aids available in the market too? Why isn't there much buzz about...

...ears are screaming now. I know it is from hearings loss from construction... My question is this... Should I go back on Zoloft which worked but made me emotionally numb... or try hearing aids which feed back my tinnitus ...tricking my brain into thinking my ears are fine... Feedback appreciated!

...of these events could have caused my tinnitus as well. Anyway, where is the success you ask? Well, growing up I never wore my regular hearing aids much, because I hated how much they amplify the sounds of everything. Well, I popped them in last week, and I don't hear my tinnitus at all when...

...me with what now sounds like 3000 chirps that blend together and it’s one fluctuating buzz. I know that it causes hearing loss so I got hearing aids. I’m told to wear them all day. But now my ears are hyper sensitive and the buzzing is louder. If I rest in a quiet room it’s very annoying...

I went to the hearing aid specialist the other day and he programmed hearing aids for me. However, he had a new piece of equipment this time which had wires with little microphones on them. He put them in my ear to measure the true amplification that my hearing aids were giving instead of only...

So, after all my problems, someone else in my family with hearing issues decided to get hearing aids. Well, I borrowed the hearing aids. The ringing is semi the same, but I can hear better in that ear. It's not perfect. Also, it's like my brain is readjusting to hearing. Like I feel semi like...

I am using a tinnitus frequency measurer app and I'm wondering should I measure with my hearing aids on or off?

...in ambient noise environments with correction higher than 8 khz. All the audiologists back then told me that they could only program hearing aids up to 8 khz. However, yesterday, I went to an audiologist and he said he was going to install some new testing equipment that will be able to...

...I was sent for another hearing test and was asked if I wanted to try hearing aid? I tried them and they did the job, for a while. The hearing aids helped especially knowing they were there for when I woke up. If I woke up and my tinnitus was there, then it was a bad day. After a while, when...

The possibilities of tinnitus therapy include the provision of hearing aids for moderate hearing loss. Have you tried this possibility?

@LovableGamer, about 25% of patients have hearing loss primarily caused by the degradation of auditory nerve fibers. As I understand it, this is mainly age-related. Until human studies are complete, the details—whether it works, whether it is safe—remain unknown.

...joke! 2003 was a long time ago, and your hearing may have worsened since then. When was the last time you had an audiogram or had your hearing aids adjusted? Hearing aid technology is constantly evolving. It might be worth giving them another try, even though they didn’t work out the first time.

Now all Lenire needs is to introduce an after-sales follow-up, a heavy-duty persuasion session to convince the patient that their tinnitus has been cured. Like, no one can hear it... it is all in the mind. Just kidding. That said, I must confess that I benefited from TRT treatment back in the...

...an audiologist to find how much hearing loss I had acquired since the ear infection. A loss of 20 percent. The audiologist suggested hearing aids, ok, but will they actually help?? You can try them, we offer full money return. Ok, so how much are they? 2000 euros (falls over backwards...

3 weeks with hearing aids from Dr Darrow and no change.

...sitting in a cubicle at work and struggling to fall asleep at night made it increasingly difficult to cope. In 2003, I was able to get hearing aids from the VA, and they helped mask the tinnitus during the day. However, when I took them out at night, my ears were so irritated by the...
