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?

Hello everyone. My name is Chris and I've had tinnitus since taking a plane ride in 1992 when I was 22 years old. Short background of that... As the plane was descending, there was an incredibly sharp pain in my left ear. So much so that I actually looked around the cabin to see if others were...

...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...

Hi Everyone, I have been a tinnitus sufferer for many years now and always hated the thought of wearing hearing aids. Until I got fired from my last job. That's when I considered wearing hearing aids for the first time in my life. My life has since changed so much. My conversation with people...

My original hearing aids are programmed up to 8 khz which is fairly normal for hearing aids as the audiograms usually only go up to 8 khz. I have seen others go up to 6 khz. Well, recently I am trying out 12 khz range hearing aids and they seem to lessen the tinnitus even more. Supposedly my...

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.

My tinnitus is so loud it makes it difficult to hear, even though I have hearing aids. Does anyone else experience the same thing?

I have read online that hearing damage is irreversible... I understand this in terms of hearing loss and hence why people would need hearing aids etc. in future. However, if hearing damage is really 'permanent', then how do people with tinnitus ever feel a reduction or complete absence of...

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.

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...

...of your brain after years of untreated hearing loss, read up on it). About the same time I read an article about a company providing hearing aids over the internet, supposedly equal to the $7k ones you get at the audiologist. January 2016 I got my hearing test, ordered the hearing aids. In...

...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...

...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...

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.

...a bit now and it seems like the concept of not using headphones even at low volumes has been brought up many times. I've also read that hearing aids deliver sound in a different way that's safer for your ears. I think there's a major point that needs to be elaborated on here. Can you play...

...handed a printout explaining tinnitus and went home. By November it was so bad, online searching and found a “tinnitus expert”. Told me hearing aids would help, sold me a very expensive pair. It is now February and still no relief with my very expensive hearing aids. Thankful I have found...

...haven't been able to find too much on the forum regarding audiometry, is if anyone has benefited from audiology treatment in the form of hearing aids, etc., because that's the next step that I'm considering taking, but would like to hear other views of people that have had success or not had...

...aimed at filling in those higher-end frequencies (thus allowing me to hear higher pitched sounds while also alleviating the T to some extent). I assume this 4 - 7/8 kHz range is a range that current hearing aids can reliably help fill in? Haven't spoken yet with my doc about it, but I will...

...because they offered none. I never told my wife or children about my condition, as I did not want to worry them. I eventually got hearing aids, which were very expensive, and thought they would help my tinnitus. At first they didn't. Then after a year I found that there were Apps on your...

...got some relief with ACRN (thanks to you all & Generalfuzz) ENT Jan 2018: you have 84% speech recognition & hearing loss; you need hearing aids that will cost $4000 & will cure your tinnitus, if you don't buy them you have a highly increased risk of Alzheimers. I told them I would check on...

...Upon the onset of the tinnitus to which I had a significant negative reaction, I saw an audiologist and have been wearing Widex 'Dream' hearing aids since that time. (Only take them out when going to bed) These aids have various fractal tones and what I call a white noise. When I asked the...

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...

...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...

I had every test imaginable to find the cause of my tinnitus... in the end I finally agreed to use hearing aids... they do an 80% job of masking the high-pitched pulsatile tone.

...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...

...Therefore, many people who have put on a hearing aid too late perceive new frequencies as unnatural, and in some cases, even with hearing aids, continue to disassemble the speech. It is important to keep these areas of the auditory cortex alive, for this purpose it is recommended to carry...

...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've had tinnitus for about 6 months now but the last few weeks have been very quiet apart from last thing at night & first thing in the morning. The tinnitus is in my left ear but the hearing in that ear is very good. The hearing in my right ear is very poor & today I got my hearing aid. I...

...times. I've had numerous ups and down depending on the amount of sleep I get. The more sleep the less tinnitus. I picked up my new hearing aids and my tinnitus is not noticeable during day. At night it's a different story but I am getting more done now. Its has sucked for 3 1/2 years but...

I am actually going to give TRT a try (meeting is in NY on Tuesday) with Dr. Susan Adams- she says they like to use general hearing aids- has anyone every tried noise generators & TRT? (excuse if there are a thousand threads dedicated to similar questions)

...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...

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...

...around the 2k mark (+-100). When I notch 2k; I can listen to songs clearly!!! It is incredible to be able to listen to music and not have to worry about distorted hearing! I am wondering if there are hearing aids that could possibly notch every day sounds? To date I have never tried hearing...

...from earbuds. I also had a large piece of wax removed shortly after tinnitus started in the same ear. My question is should I try using hearing aids at this stage or wait?? My tinnitus has improved the last 4 weeks. It's noticeably quieter than it was the 1st 3-4 weeks. My hyperacusis has...

Anyone from New Orleans area? If this spike I have continues I really want to seek out the aid of an audiologist to look into hearing aids/masking devices and to talk about Tinnitus Retraining Therapy white noise generators. I found a doctor Mary Miller in Hammond, LA from the ATA website...

...All that progress seems to have been undone by just a few sessions. Has anyone ever recovered from this? Most stories I’ve read about pure tone exposure suggest that the new spike becomes the baseline, along with further hearing loss. Would hearing aids at least make the tinnitus more bearable?

...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...

...as a coping mechanism, though I limit my headphone use to 90 minutes a day. Are all your tones maskable with white noise when using hearing aids? Unfortunately, mine aren’t—only the high-pitched ones are—so I turned off the masking. Music or white noise in the background doesn’t really help...

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

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...

My t has really spiked all day, I just took a klonopin to try and calm down. I am on day 4 of trying hearing aids and my ears are screaming. I took them out just now. The weird thing is the last two nights I slept thru the night which I never did before. I usually get woken up in the middle of...

So ever since I heard of hearing aids that produce white noise, I always wondered how they worked. Do they have silent white noise? Is there some sort of thing similar to a volume changer to lower or heighten the white noise? Educate me, I’m really interested haha.

I have used several Oticon hearing aid models, including the OPN 3, More 1, and currently, I’m testing the Intent 1. These are all (mini)RITE-type aids, where the device sits behind the ear, and the speaker goes into the ear canal. There is, of course, a wire connecting the device to the...

...6 really bad periods, but habituation has occurred each time. At the moment my tinnitus is so loud, has been for a few weeks. I wear 2 hearing aids for mild to moderate high frequency loss with inbuilt maskers. It became noticeable again when my audiologist turned the internal part of the...

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!!

...tires, yet the noise persisted. At this point, I wonder if it might be my hearing. I recently had it checked and discovered I will need hearing aids. I am not sure if the noise is from hearing loss at high and low frequencies, but my tinnitus has spiked as well. I even tried three sessions...

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...

You are very welcome! I hope you find some relief. I forgot to mention that if you massage your back and neck, be sure to pay extra attention to your scalp. The scalp has many nerve endings, and Vata oil can be particularly beneficial when used with a good scalp massage. I've read at least one...

...I track it constantly while working, even with background music or podcasts playing, and I still notice it outdoors. I have tried hearing aids with different types of noise, but nothing masks it. Does anyone with hearing loss across all frequencies only have pure tone tinnitus? Has anyone...

...prevent noise and music from triggering my tinnitus, which would greatly improve my quality of life. I have some questions regarding hearing aids. First, I have very narrow ear canals and am concerned that a receiver-in-canal (RIC) device may not fit. The behind-the-ear solution I tested...

The latest research has shown that hearing damage, whether or not an audiogram is normal, is necessary for tinnitus. This does not mean everyone with hearing loss has tinnitus, but it is necessary for tinnitus (Shore, Djalilian, etc.). Benzodiazepines are not ototoxic. Ototoxic means it causes...
