...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...

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

...I fall asleep by using the tinnitus as background noise as I sing songs in my head - don't laugh, it works for me! (y) I began wearing hearing aids in the 90's and just recently purchased my 4th pair ($3400 - OUCH!) This is the reason I am here. For some reason, I am having a severe...

@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...

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

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...

...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...

Basically, I am looking for a hearing aid that instead of white noise, has a water stream sound to it instead of white noise. I believe this will block my tinnitus out better.

...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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

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...

...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.

...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...

...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...

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.

...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...

...He went to get a test at a Sydney-based clinic, where an audiologist very quickly urged him to buy a set of hearing aids priced at nearly $12,000. Audiologists are outrageous! A Background Briefing investigation has found that even audiologists who don’t directly work for manufacturers...

...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...

...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...

Yes, please let me know. I am concerned about the fact that I am already hearing sounds as too loud and hearing aids would amplify it even further. The ENT seemed to indicate that the hearing aids would be set to only amplify sounds at the frequency of my hearing loss.

I asked about hearing aids to my ENT and they were not recommended due to hyperacusis. My ENT said that hearing aids are recommended for people with more hearing loss than me. That's really bad advice, in my opinion...

Hey there @RicardoC7023, I have recently gotten Widex Moment hearing aids since I have some hearing loss. I also have two types of tinnitus: one non-reactive and one reactive. I have noticed that if I wear my hearing aids too long (like over 5-6 hours), my reactive tinnitus becomes aggravated...

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

...circles of the medical profession, a person with tinnitus automatically has hearing loss and therefore the treatment is to prescribe hearing aids which will restore hearing to optimum. With regular use the hearing will improve, and the tinnitus will reduce because the brain no longer has to...

...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...

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...

I have explained many times in this forum, that hearing aids and white noise generators use an entirely different technology to headphones, earbuds and headsets when delivering sound into the ear and auditory system. It is not just a matter of "sound is sound," it is the way the sound is...

Hello, have you tried hearing aids since? What was your experience?

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.

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...

Don't give up. I've had tinnitus for 30 years. I know hearing aids don't work for everybody, but they have been a miracle for me.

...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...
