I had the same experience with tinnitus programs. They didn’t mask at all, and I already have plenty of noise in my head. Thank you.

I am using a tinnitus frequency measurer app and I'm wondering should I measure with my hearing aids on or off?

The possibilities of tinnitus therapy include the provision of hearing aids for moderate hearing loss. Have you tried this possibility?

...in ambient noise environments with correction higher than 8 khz. All the audiologists back then told me that they could only program hearing aids up to 8 khz. However, yesterday, I went to an audiologist and he said he was going to install some new testing equipment that will be able to...

If you have moderate to severe hearing loss, a pair of hearing aids may help. They have dramatically helped me. You will know within 10 minutes of trying them if they will help you or not.

Has anyone had any good experience with hearing aids? Or are they all crap?

...moments. Over the past few years, my hearing has gradually declined, confirmed by hearing tests indicating I’m borderline for needing hearing aids. It’s been manageable, if not ideal, until now. Recently, I didn’t use earplugs at a loud event, though I stayed away from the loudest area for...

...an audiologist to find how much hearing loss I had acquired since the ear infection. A loss of 20 percent. The audiologist suggested hearing aids, ok, but will they actually help?? You can try them, we offer full money return. Ok, so how much are they? 2000 euros (falls over backwards...

...this site recently. I’m now studying more about the symptoms and will definitely look into this further to educate myself. I just got hearing aids for my tinnitus. There is sound therapy available to help! Seeing an audiologist is also a great option. It’s the only answer I have at this time.

I have already asked if hearing aids helped with your tinnitus, now I would like to know about sound sensitivity. With my ramp up in tinnitus, I have noticed a new thing, a ramp up in sensitivity to high pitch sounds. Other loud sounds don't particularly bother me I think. Other than I am...

Simple, don't wear the hearing aids?

...30 years of work. The typewriter tinnitus was the game changer. Since I had hearing loss in both ears, with the left being worse, I got hearing aids, which my wife’s insurance fortunately covered. An MRI showed nothing unusual. Over the next six months, the typewriter tinnitus gradually...

Hi all. I gave in today and was fitted for hearing aids. Can't get over feeling like it's giving up hope that things will ever get back to normal... and, yes, I fully concede vanity is in play, as well. I'm past three years now with T, had a right side stapedectomy last November, and have been...

...but then it returned. So don't be sad about the missed treatment; nobody knows if it would have helped. I also had sound therapy and hearing aids. There was one specific point of interest with the hearing aids. The audiologist performs a hearing test and then adjusts the hearing aids...

...months went by and I was a nervous wreck, treating TMJ was successful for my jaw and ear pain but useless to stop tinnitus. I read about hearing aids and figured I'd give those a try, even though my hearing had tested perfect 3 times since getting tinnitus. I go to an audiologist and get...

...This is a great place for commiseration, support, and ideas on how to calm tinnitus, hyperacusis, and other hearing maladies. I got hearing aids about eight years ago after my fairly stable 20-year tinnitus became more severe. Initially, they were helpful with hearing the high frequencies...

Seem to be experiencing habituation after 8 months of using hearing aids with a wave sound background noise. If habituation continues should I still use the hearing aids w/ background noise? I do not need them for hearing purposes...

...Since then, I have seen many doctors. I've had two MRIs and CT scans, and all came back normal. I visited an audiologist who provided hearing aids for sound therapy purposes. They help, but not always. I've also seen two ENTs, but no one has been able to help me. At one point, the noise was...

Sorry, maybe poorly written. I am saying hearing loss is not treatable at present. There are aids, like hearing aids, or even cochlear implants, but these are not really treatments (much less cures) - just aids. Just like glasses or contact lenses are not treatment for myopia. There is not...

Hello everyone! I hesitated beginning this thread in " treatments" section, then i decided to post here. How does it feel to have an hearing aid? Concretely? One of my friend said it was dangerous for th ears to have always a speaker. I have just a litlle hearing loss, and i hope to have at...

@biggy312, have you had any improvement?

...listen to me when I said that between the first and second audiogram, my hearing had been lower/worse. I felt humiliated. I know that hearing aids can help and I've found some clinic at Québec that propose this, but I don't think mine would propose it and even if they would, the ENT would...

I’m in this boat too. I even did a gradual increase in the use of my hearing aids, and it still got worse. I was up for four days and nights before I could sleep from sheer exhaustion. I hate this crap. It's not that simple when you have hearing loss and reactive tinnitus. Hearing loss is...

Just stopped in a Miracle-Ear out of curiosity and they fitted me with 2 hearing aids and let me test it out. I had one hearing aid for my left ear from another place before and it just transferred the tinnitus to my right ear (CRAZY). This place was so easy to test both ears and they let me...

...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...

Tinnitus pitch, masking, and the effectiveness of hearing aids for tinnitus therapy Abstract Objective: To assess the benefits of hearing aids on tinnitus according to the tinnitus reaction questionnaire, to verify whether the degree of masking provided by the hearing aid influenced the TRQ...

...to loud noise. If you regularly attend clubs or concerts where loud music is played, this can cause tinnitus to develop, too. Oticon hearing aids or any other type of hearing aids should not be automatically prescribed to treat a person with tinnitus. Unless you have significant hearing loss...

Just saw this article this morning, kind of cool. http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/25/with-13-million-from-maveron-eargo-is-the-hearing-aid-of-the-future/

...tinnitus function: Four programmes (i.e. sounds) with SET volume levels. So no way to change the volume of a sound. Costs: €550 for two hearing aids (insurance covers €1000) The thing is: my cheap €5 earbuds (with no noise isolation) can do the trick too, and even better. I can choose from...

We aren't supposed to mask with headphones and ear buds but how are the hearing aids safer?

...studies, especially considering its consequences on patient's quality of life. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hearing aids and/or Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 on tinnitus in patients with hearing loss. METHODS: This is a trial randomized-controlled treatment...

...on and so tight. Once they trapped a nerve in my face (the sensation went away a few minutes after taking them off). Would noise cancelling headphones help? Or the bespoke ear plugs? Also I've got hearing loss since. Would it help to get the hearing aids with white noise? Thanks for any...

...hear my masking sounds (it sounded very 'real' to me) He shook his head. I didn't expect to feel so relieved. I've put off getting hearing aids because of the financial cost, but also (I think, looking back) as a form of denial. I always told myself 'this is just temporary'... but it's not...

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.

Why is that?

I have hearing aids that can be connected to a bluetooth transmitter/reciever and was wondering if notched music therapy would work while I wore them. If so, how long would it take to work before I would notice a difference and for how long should I do it? I think the hearing aids frequency...

Hello forum! I have a question about hearing aids. My ENT set me up with white noise through my hearing aids to help with the hyperacusis. I noticed my tinnitus getting louder after doing this, but she said it means my tinnitus is reactive, and to continue with the white noise. My tinnitus did...

I would like to share with you a few of the tips I have learned from having hearing aids for over 3 years. This will be for all the people that wear them and have the RIC (Receiver in the Canal) type which is worn over the ear and has a little wire going to the reciever inside. 1. Clean or...

...provide input on. After recently seeing an audiologist and ENT, I discovered that I have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears, and hearing aids were recommended. The hearing loss is also probably a cause of the tinnitus (or cause #1 of 2 according to Dr. Rauschecker's model). I was...

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...

I will be going for a new round of hearing tests and plan to request hearing aids for the first time. My last test about a year ago showed fairly severe hearing loss in the high frequencies in both ears. I also have had tinnitus for over 10 years, which is somewhere in the 3500 Hz range. I...

Hello. How are you doing? you wrote that hearing aids helped you with tinnitus.. I would like to try it too.. Your tinnitus is stable. Are you at the same level or floating, reactive? I have reactive tinyuts and low tolerance to sounds, tinyuts grow quickly from sounds... My audiologist told me...

Hello! I am new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself, as well as ask some questions to others who have had Tinnitus for many years. December 27th was the day Tinnitus entered my life. Since then, I've been trying to make friends with this new high-pitched tone in my ear, but...

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...

...left but ear piercing tinnitus. It was only in my left ear but lately I developed T alson in my right ear. I have no knowladge about hearing aids. As it said, I have no hearing loss. Can hearing aids help me? Will it make my T worse? I can't concentrate anything. This makes me anxious. Any...

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...

...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...

I heard a theory from an audiologist sometime back; he thought hearing aids were still important for people with tinnitus and hearing loss, but not enough hearing loss to need hearing aids. The theory is that the hearing aids will help to still possibly stimulate neurons which may be important...

...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...
