      It is not hearing aids that you need to treat tinnitus and hyperacusis unless you have hearing loss. All that is required is white noise generators. There are two types: Analogue and Digital. It is only the digital WNGs that need to be set up by an Audiologist on a computer. Analogue type do not.

      This is exactly what I mean. The clinics want to sell me high end hearing aids. The ones I tried was Widex. They actually turned the hearing aid portion off. Can you point to some analogue affordable option online for Canada. OR brands. That's a great tip!

      I live in the UK. You could try the website that I referred to you earlier. They ship white noise generators abroad 1 to 3 weeks delivery and cheaper than what you have previously quoted. They sell a variety of WNGs at the moment I only see the MM10 which I have. The website link I'm going to paste is for International buyers. You could enquire if they will sell you other types of WNG BTE (Behind the ear) for example: http://www.puretoneretail.net/mm10.html

      Yes I have been for 5 weeks already, unfortunately with little to no effect. Well, but I deal with my tinnitus much better recently.

      That is great! I'm always for someone getting past this garbage condition! Perhaps the Lenire is having a more subtle effect? To me it's looking like all the options out there. Another coping tool.

      Mine are very similar to these. The ones you have quoted on ebay I see they are used. I should point out to you that WNG can be very delicate and can easily malfunction. If I were you I'd buy brand new model not used.

      Ok. At least I have an idea now thanks. I may look into my local hearing clinics. In the past they had nothing under $3,000 plus. Perhaps for just WNG's..

      Look tinnitus still annoys me daily, it's just that I don't let it destroy my career or family. Lenire seems to help in it. Anxious or not I move on, work, home, growing a child.
