Why is that?

I am three weeks into hearing aids with tinnitus masking. There is no change in tinnitus volume or intrusiveness. In fact, I hear the white or pink noise and my tinnitus, which is pretty annoying! I think if the hearing aids help the habituation process, it will probably take many months. I am...

...about becoming dependent on it. I have visited many ENTs and neurologists, but none seem to understand tinnitus or truly care. I got hearing aids a couple of years ago, hoping they might help with the tinnitus. While they improved my hearing, they did not reduce the tinnitus. You mentioned...

I stopped wearing the hearing aids after about a month of consistent use. I was too focused on the hearing aids, changing from white noise to pink, changing the volume, etc. I don't have much hearing loss. I will live my life and subject my healing auditory system to regular noises so I can...

...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...

How are you doing now? I am three months in and struggling. The noise I hear is an irregular, low hum…

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...

...trouble with and reduce the others to match. Or just play around with it; they can make a big difference. I assume you’ve looked into hearing aids? I lived nearly all my life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in Florida, Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico, and other high-UV states. I wouldn’t put...

I’d be interested in hearing your opinions over time. I just ordered the AirPods Pro 2 and hope they work for me as hearing aids. I’ve tried hearing aids in the past, but I couldn’t use them because they made my tinnitus much worse.

Hearing aids have dramatically helped my T. At times I can't hear the T. I have moderate to severe hearing loss equally in both ears.

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...

I recently came across Oticon hearing aids. I might give them a go. But they are so expensive. Have we actually identified what type of tinnitus is helped by Notch Therapy?

Unfortunately, this happened to me, too. I have high-frequency hearing loss, and my tinnitus is very disturbing, and it increases after wearing hearing aids. I don't know what we will do.

This is pretty exciting: https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/hearing-health/ Apple is releasing earbuds that double as clinical-grade hearing aids. They offer hearing protection, sound amplification, and background noise control. This seems like a great product for tinnitus sufferers. I currently...

...high dosage of B2 high dosage of Magnesium Multivitamin Lipo Flavonoid Mindfulness Meditation (at least 10 min twice daily) Testing hearing aids with only a higher frequency enhancement 30-minute dumbbell workout at least twice a week. Starting a Vestibular Migraine diet (I think this will be...

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...

...hearing loss in my affected ear. I’m going back on Thursday for a hearing aid consultation. The great thing is I’ll get to try the hearing aids for six weeks before deciding whether to purchase them or pursue a different plan. The ENT also suggested that, if the hearing aids don’t help, we...

...thought the same thing when I heard the interview. Along with the idea of sounds being ingrained in the brain (although not with a cochlear implant), they claimed that hearing restoration wouldn’t be effective; otherwise, hearing aids would work. Erm, no. I’m pretty blasé about what he has...

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...

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?

...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...

...the start. It seemed too sensational, something that would have turned the world upside down. Even billionaires today have to rely on hearing aids. I do not believe that Numelicina will ever be able to regenerate hair cells in people. It seems absolutely impossible. The whole stem cell...

...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...

...or if I experience a sudden event that significantly reduces my hearing. I also think that if the hearing loss is significant, then hearing aids might help reduce the perception of tinnitus. With this understanding, I don’t worry too much about the future, as I expect my hearing loss to be...

Hi @MiaVIL. I think sound enrichment could be an option, but perhaps using a tabletop device rather than in-ear solutions. You could also consider wearing hearing aids (HAs). Do you have reactive tinnitus? That might make it more challenging.

...with time in the Army National Guard, loud music, and, of course, old age, may have "blessed" me with this curse. Now, I'm trying out hearing aids to help with mild hearing loss. They're arriving today, so I'll soon find out if they'll help or not. The tinnitus stops when I sleep...

...because it's low-risk, and I have some time on my hands right now. I'll update you in a couple of weeks. However, I don't think cross hearing aids are the same thing. I thought they re-route sound from the side of the bad ear to the good one so that you get L+R sound all channeled into the...

@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...

I'm 74.

How old are you, mate?

...moderately severe/moderate until 3 kHz, where I hear exceptionally well (like below zero dB). I also have a mild dip at 6 kHz. My loss was sudden and unexplained. Hearing aids made the poor-quality, distorted sound in my left ear louder—unwelcome noise on top of unwelcome noise. I'd rather be...

Reading more about otosclerosis, I'm alarmed that it seems to be something that tends to result in needing hearing aids eventually. My hearing loss and tinnitus hasn't really changed much for years as far as I can tell (I had one hearing test in 2019 and it was a bit of a disaster, with noises...

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...

...is one of the authors. The indication was single-sided deafness with tinnitus. → Tinnitus reduction in patients with single-sided deafness: the effect of cochlear implantation, bone conduction devices, and contralateral routing of sound hearing aids investigated in a randomized controlled trial

...for advice from those who have had successful outcomes with TRT. I have mild high-frequency hearing loss and want to start using hearing aids with sound therapy to help with healing. However, I don't experience ringing. Instead, I hear crackling, electric shocks in my ears, metallic...

I am considering getting Lyric hearing aids. I have been using Lenire for two months, twice daily, but I have not yet observed a reduction in the tinnitus level in my right ear. It spiked to level 5 back in June 2024 after I received a steroid injection in my left shoulder. Before that, I was...

...illness. They also believe the measles I had as a child may have contributed. In a few years, I will probably have to stop using hearing aids and switch to a cochlear implant. However, if a cure were to become available in the meantime, I would be absolutely thrilled. I thought Rinri...

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...

...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...

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 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...

I am pretty sure my tinnitus is at a high frequency, much higher than what hearing aids can produce. For example, when I drop an Allen wrench on a tile or solid floor, the resulting reverberation creates a very temporary residual inhibition for me. This effect lasts only as long as the noise...

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!!

...mean silence is actually helpful for you. Why not try wearing earplugs when you go outside? I would consider wearing earplugs with hearing aids over them. The hearing aids can help keep the volume at a controlled level so you can still hear people, while the earplugs offer protection from...

...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...

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...

Maybe we should view it all like a football match. We all want our team to win the World Cup, but it takes a few years to train a good team. With diligence, hard work, and a good trainer, a team eventually develops that can coordinate things well. At some point along the way, we may even get a...

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

...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...
