Hearing Aids Are Helping Me

I have very loud hissing T in my left ear. My hearing loss is so bad my hearing aid specialist told my I could not help it if I got a hearing aid for my left. After one week with T, I made an appointment at Costco and purchased a left hearing aid to match my Rt one. The brand is Rexton. They were not cheap because Costco doesn't take insurance. $2300. for both.

They give you a 6 months trial and a 3 year guarantee.
It's my 3rd week and I can see light at the end of this 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 take an Ambien 10 mg.
I have been taking it for years.
It takes me a little while to get going in the morning. But I feel good.

I have gotten back my senses and my appetite. I can beat this and you can too. Don't stop trying.

I've got Arthritus so bad I've had both knees and both shoulders completely replaced.

I've had a heart stint and need back injections every 4-5 months for pain. This T is a big challenge. It can be so depressing but you can beat it. Hearing aids and a noise maker are my best friends now.

 

I left my ENT office Friday. He gave prescription for Diazapam.
It's cut my noise in half.

 

How much and how often do you take it?

 

Be careful with the Benzodiazepine drugs ... they are very addictive, and if you take high doses over a long period of time you increase your changes of getting dementia/alzheimer's. Might want to check out http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/. Just be informed ...

By the way, I took Xanax (0.5mg) for a month, to help with sleep, and it completely got rid of my T within 15 mins of taking a pill ... but it would come back by morning. It was messing up my memory, and making me really sleepy, and I was having trouble functioning at work, so I decided to get off it. When I tried I had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms. So, I'm tapering off now. With each cut, the T goes up, but thankfully so far it has come back down after 5 days or so. Anyway, just be careful.
