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...

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.

...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.

...of TRT devices and notice now with my hearing loss I can no longer hear the slight wispering sound that the TRT device produces. My Zen hearing aids have a white noise and I can hear the noise that it produces and it only seems natural that if one cannot hear the noise produced by the...

...better, there were days were it was barely noticeable but it reminded me it was there from time to time. So today I got my hearing aids. About 20 minutes after having them on/in, my tinnitus went thru the roof. It was nice in the MD office, I didn't think it was there anymore. But it...

Hello Dr. Nagler Hearing aids can worsen Tinnitus?

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...

Actually, I edit audio and video (or at least I could before tinnitus turned my life upside down). In Final Cut Pro, there is an “EQ” filter that can be applied to a soundtrack, and you can adjust the settings to notch out higher frequencies. Mine is at 14,600 kHz, and this is how I set it up...

Good morning all! I'm having a senior moment here and am hoping someone can jog my brain... in 2014-2015, I came across an article about a French study of a type of hearing aid referred to as a FOLD aid. It's not a brand, it's a descriptor of the aid itself. I can't remember the link for the...

I'm going in for my second set of hearing aids. My first were Widex Moments with the Zen Tones. They didn't do much for my hearing or tinnitus. Supposedly, Widex's strength is in its natural sound, but maybe this isn't so relevant to me because I will never hear a "natural" sound again. My...

I use earplugs, but they don’t seem to help me. Silicone ones are especially frustrating because they always fall out of my ears no matter what I do. It feels like I’m not only cursed with this condition but also with small ear canals that make it hard to get a proper fit with earplugs to...

Hearing test done. It hasn't changed so that's good. I had hearing aids adjusted so that I can wear them. They were way out, to the point that any loud noise had me pulling them out.

Listening to white noise through hearing aids or AirPods can be beneficial. It will improve your mood;

Basically give me a price for low end hearings that is reasonable and a price for high end hearing aids that is reasonable. I like a pair of high end ones but they just seem so expensive for being so little. It definitely helps with my tinnitus though.

Yes, I've heard it. It sells hearing aids and is merely a hypothesis as far as I'm aware.

...I was getting old and crotchety.. :) We only discussed options for dealing with the tinnitus. At one point he mentioned hearing aids and I sort of jumped on that idea and we didn't discuss anymore options.. but then I came to find out my insurance doesn't cover hearing aids. I'm...

Hi Vicki I have just joined this group and I am really interested to hear if you have got any further with the tinnitus/allergy connection. I am currently in the process of trying to convince my doctor that I need to see an allergy specialist rather than be given hearing aids! Thank you.

If your hearing aids and white noise are working for you, that's great @Elmer B Fuddled. You are doing the right thing by keeping the white noise below the tinnitus, not masking it or completely covering it up so it can't be heard. This practice usually causes more problems than good, as it can...

...of tinnitus. While herpes is a common condition, speculating on the specific cause of auditory system damage is generally unproductive. There are limited treatment options available, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hearing aids, cochlear implants, and certain medication...

@Juliane. Have your tried hearing aids yet?

Hearing aids are different than sound machines. I think that hearing aids give you the perfect hearing that you didn't know you were missing.

Hello, I have just joined the group and thought I would introduce myself and tell you my story. I have had tinnitus since 1986 and both ears usually need syringed yearly at my GP surgery, as I suffer with excess wax and narrow ear canals. This service was stopped this year and so had to have my...

I've had 2 audiograms up to 8 kHz - they showed perfect hearing. My tinnitus is bothering me during the day and I feel like I would benefit from in-ear sound enrichment from either streaming my sound apps to a wireless earbud like Apple AirPods or getting a hearing aid that has a tinnitus...

In the UK I was told by an audiologist that they do not recommend masking. She also mentioned TRT lacks evidence. This is through the NHS. Privately they will offer it of course as it can empty your bank account. They only recommend CBT and hearing aids.

...even possible for me. Dr. Keaner (spelling?) at Illuminear seemed very knowledgeable, but I haven't tried any real therapy with her. I think she could provide me with masking hearing aids, but I also have some hyperacusis in my right ear, which means sound therapy doesn't always feel...

Here I am, extrapolating on something I only half understand. But if I recall correctly, Lenire is a combination of sound therapy and a device that “tickles your tongue.” To be a bit fairer, it also involves guided counselling, which in the early stages of tinnitus can be quite important. From...

Thank you so much for your thoughts Michael. Your posts are always a breath of fresh air and gives some hope. What is your opinion on the use of hearing protection? Everything I do seems to spike my tinnitus. I started working out and doing cardio on a treadmill daily and guess what, it also...

Friday was a long day. Ten minutes into the treatment, the machine broke down, so I had to move to another machine and start the process all over again. In total, I spent 30 minutes flat on my back.

They are just bitter. You don’t have to apologize because your suffering—or in this case, lack thereof—is just as valid as someone who developed it suddenly. You are simply used to it. That’s the big difference. You have what they do not. Tinnitus doesn’t need a “pity Olympics.” It’s...

I’m also hard of hearing and wear hearing aids. It’s against the law to not give me a job because of that, but how would you prove it?

...1. Counseling for distress. Tinnitus can take a toll on your mental health, and counseling can help you manage the emotional burden. 2. Hearing aids. If hearing loss is detected, hearing aids can sometimes provide relief. 3. Consider medications. If you want to explore this option, look...

...increased the decibels around my tinnitus frequency (4 kHz). I tried to ask about TRT but she just seemed focused on selling me these hearing aids with maskers. It really helped mask the tinnitus. But my goal with the TRT was to habituate to the sound, not to mask it. I don't want to become...

My tinnitus is still as loud, annoying, and intrusive as when the accident and spike occurred. I am getting hearing aids in a week. I hope the correction for my high-frequency hearing loss and sound therapy will help. I am going to give my auditory system some time to improve. If not, I will go...

What do Treble Health offer that a high street audiologist doesn't? 1) CBT 2) Hearing aids 3) Playing sound through hearing aids They are going nowhere and have nothing to offer that a regular audiology/tinnitus clinic doesn't.

...I was too focused on my work to care. I do think, unfortunately, that this hearing loss is permanent and sensorineural. I plan to try hearing aids next month. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me. I will come back to post another update once I have tested the hearing aids. I...

Some people say this and others say you need to wear hearing aids for a while for them to work. Would it be possible to set up an online question for this? Something like: I have used hearing aids, and they are benefiting me. A) The benefit was perceptible within less than 30 minutes of...

...frequencies. What I've noticed is when I put on the hearing aid feature, the outside sounds are amplified, and when I take off the hearing aids. Everything sounds much softer, including the ringing. I'm not sure if this is good for reducing my T or not. It seems to be working, but I...

...ear hearing loss is very similar to mine. My tinnitus is somewhere in the 8000 Hz to 12000 Hz range. Can you please provide some details regarding your first experience with TRT and hearing aids? I did try hearing aids but I think they were programmed in the wrong frequencies (4000-8000...

Thank you - I appreciate that. Ahh so you are saying that wearing hearing aids whilst using the device may boost hearing enough to hear the prescribed 50 dB or better range? I hadn't seen that, but that is an interesting way to look at it - thanks.

...It’s very uncomfortable, and I don’t know how much longer I can live with it like this. I’d like to be sure of the cause before considering hearing aids. Would a tympanostomy tube theoretically relieve the pressure immediately? Is it risky, and does anyone have experience with this procedure?

It’s 2023, the only stigma about hearing aids is the one you make up in your head. Literally no one cares if someone has hearing aids, just like no one cares if someone wears glasses.

They actually make frequency lowering hearing aids in which they can convert higher frequency sounds to be heard at lower frequencies. However, tinnitus can often be at higher frequencies. What if there were such a device that took lower frequencies, amplified them, and converted them to...

She calls them Phonak Bi-Cross hearing aids.

...you notice any improvement in your hearing loss after the rock concert? Did your audiogram reflect this change? Did you consider using hearing aids? Can you tell me more about why you think this is psychosomatic, and a bit more about your history? Do you have any other symptoms or...

Hearing aids work well. Only time I use them is for sleep.

...sleep seems to be important as I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a while back. I often nap forgetting to put on my Bi-Pap mask. Hearing aids seem to help my tinnitus but can be hit or miss. I have inexpensive hearing aids with a small remote and also Widex Moment which I need my iPhone...

I have hearing loss and tinnitus. I've had hearing aids for about five years. I use the app BeMore; it has a wide variety of tinnitus masking abilities, including noise filtering, sensitivity, adjustable pitch, and the ability to keep the white below the tinnitus, which can be variable each day...

have you tried hearing aids yet?

Careful with sticking anything sound producing into your ears. Hearing aids with "masking" massively set me back a month ago only after using them (quietly) for an hour! I am finally recovering, it seems. Besides, you are only 1 month in? Give your ears a rest, protect but do not overprotect...
