...as middle ear myoclonus. Professor Bance is the go-to expert for this. As I understand it, pulsatile tinnitus is not usually connected to hearing loss, so I'm unsure if hearing aids are relevant in this case. It sounds like you may have been dismissed, which, unfortunately, doesn't surprise me.

...no more than six frequency points, broadly within the range of human speech. The goal seems to be finding just enough evidence to sell hearing aids, which is frankly embarrassing. When you consider how hearing loss occurs and the variety of tones present in everyday sounds, hearing aids can...

I think this is a pile of absolute junk. We already have cross hearing aids that do that.

I really hope the hearing aids help me deal with my tinnitus; I have never had as loud tinnitus as I have now, and I do not have much hope of improving at this point.

...anyone has stopped taking antidepressants and seen an improvement? I've decided to try & wean myself off the citalopram. I also have hearing aids now but I feel that if my tinnitus went I'd be able to hear better, if that makes sense. My tinnitus is a constant high pitched sound, and this...

I don't recommend that you listen to music or podcasts through hearing aids, as you could make your tinnitus worse. I suspect that it is this that has made your tinnitus worse, or listening to audio through headphones, earbuds or exposure to loud noise. My advice is to use your hearing aids...

I'm very sorry that you went through the trouble of getting hearing aids, and they do not help. I do not think that any permanent harm has been done to you by them, but I don't remember many people saying that they helped with their tinnitus. I've had tinnitus for almost 7 years and I wouldn't...

I also wonder what shooting amplified sound waves into the cochlea is doing to the undamaged hair cells. We've already observed low-frequency sounds damaging both low and high-frequency hair cells as well as higher frequencies damaging adjacent hair cells.

Hi all, new here! After nonstop reading on the subject of tinnitus, this paper gives me hope!

...it was a waste of time because: I will inevitably have high-frequency hearing loss. I don't have any prior test results for comparison. Hearing aids are ineffective at high frequencies. Knowing my tinnitus frequency doesn't impact current treatment options. It won't affect future treatment...

Do not ever touch them unless you have an actual hearing loss below 4 kHz. I have severe reactive tinnitus, and the use of hearing aids to play crickets very quietly for less than an hour set me back for weeks or months, and I perhaps have not fully recovered. Do you have hearing loss anywhere...

So I was wondering if anyone has ever had hearing aids but with the volume lowered instead of heightened? I've heard a few people mention this and I'm wondering is this legitimate?

If you do get insurance to cover hearing aids, I strongly suggest considering devices that produce pink, white, or brown noise. In my case, pink noise provides a slight sense of comfort. I use these devices when my tinnitus becomes severe. As for audiologists and even ENTs, there is often...

...COVID-19 booster. I'm trying "sound therapy" with Widex Zen behind-the-ear maskers to try to habituate. But I wonder if amplifying hearing aids would be more helpful. My hearing is within normal range in both ears (at least up to 8000 Hz), but my left ear threshold is about 10 dB lower...

...my tinnitus. Can the brain do this? I last had a hearing test in 2011. They identified some light hearing loss, but audiologist said hearing aids wouldn't be beneficial. However, I now notice I am struggling in pubs hearing what people are saying and when watching TV, I have to pay real...

My tinnitus came on suddenly accompanied by partial hearing loss in one ear. I was told that a hearing aid would make a difference. Has anyone found that to be true?

How are your hearing aids tuned? Do they play low-level pink noise or are they tuned to amplify certain frequencies? Have they helped with hyperacusis?

...Counseling for distress. Tinnitus can be emotionally overwhelming, and counseling can help manage its impact on your mental health. 2. Hearing aids. If hearing loss is detected, hearing aids may provide some relief. 3. Medications. Look into established protocols, such as: - Dirk De...

If you have hearing loss like I have then the tinnitus becomes more noticeable I find hearing aids are a great help.

Hello. I found another thread that addresses binaural beats. It looks like some people have improved. There were a variety of responses and discussions. Good luck.

Hi, this is my first time here. Since 1993, my work has involved headphone use. I am a realtime broadcast captioner for television. We receive our audio through standard phone lines, the quality isn't the best, and volume always seemed to help. I'm afraid the years have taken their toll on...

I believe you're wrong. Each person's case is as unique as a fingerprint. Sound, intensity, and every other factor vary from individual to individual. The only thing common to all is the source - the DCN, and the cause - hyperactive fusiform cells.

...best surgeons can't restore it 100% if there's scar tissue or issues with the stapes footplate. This study is one of the first I've seen regarding bone-anchored hearing aids and tinnitus. The one they used in the study is the Med-El Bone Bridge, which is pretty advanced. The other one is the...

Anyone have any success using the notch therapy function of the Signia hearing aids? Seems interesting.

Glad you resolved that issue my elder brother. Now that you stopped pulling your hearing aids out, you can work on not pulling your pecker out as the neighbors may get vexed with your eccentric behavior. Love and hugs to you and the family. Stay well Elmer. Daniel

I use earplugs, but they don’t seem to help me. Silicone ones are especially frustrating because they always fall out of my ears no matter what I do. It feels like I’m not only cursed with this condition but also with small ear canals that make it hard to get a proper fit with earplugs to...

I live in the mountains so I can step outside any time and extract myself to pee any damn place I want, with or without my hearing aids.

...tinnitus. They gave all the hearing tests, and my hearing was off for a certain tone. I was told and understand the logic that this is coming from the brain and the brain needs to be retrained. So they sold me hearing aids and they have not helped at all with the tinnitus. It has been 4...

...the age of 25, in both ears. Vertigo, motion sickness, hearing loss and yes, tinnitus. Over the years my hearing has got worse. I have hearing aids in both ears. My tinnitus screams 24/7 to the point that it's like my head's in a glass oven on full blast. Sleep is a nightmare, I need meds to...

...take that drug for life and be your customer. What I'm more concerned about is the practice of audiology in the US, just slinging hearing aids endlessly like they're the cure-all we need. It costs, on average, nearly $5K USD for hearing aids, and that doesn't include appointments for...

...high dosage of B2 high dosage of Magnesium Multivitamin Lipo Flavonoid Mindfulness Meditation (at least 10 min twice daily) Testing hearing aids with only a higher frequency enhancement 30-minute dumbbell workout at least twice a week. Starting a Vestibular Migraine diet (I think this will be...

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I just recently got hearing aids too. But I feel like my tinnitus has gotten worse with them on because now I'm hearing more noise which makes my tinnitus worse. I'm trying to decide if I should keep them. I have 2 weeks left to decide.

I got my hearing aid today. When I first put it on the tinnitus was barely noticeable. But when I walked around, raised my eyebrows, or opens my mouth, the tinnitus fluctuated. My hearing aid doctor told me that I needed to get used to this. However it seems as if I have already gotten used to...

I'm going in for my second set of hearing aids. My first were Widex Moments with the Zen Tones. They didn't do much for my hearing or tinnitus. Supposedly, Widex's strength is in its natural sound, but maybe this isn't so relevant to me because I will never hear a "natural" sound again. My...

Hello - I'm new to this forum. Last Monday I tried Lyric hearing aids. The left side is fabulous ... they insert it into your ear canal and he sound is natural and you don't even know it's in there. The right side is the problem: The aid caused a blood blister to form and it evidently popped...

...of tinnitus. While herpes is a common condition, speculating on the specific cause of auditory system damage is generally unproductive. There are limited treatment options available, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hearing aids, cochlear implants, and certain medication...

Hi Vicki I have just joined this group and I am really interested to hear if you have got any further with the tinnitus/allergy connection. I am currently in the process of trying to convince my doctor that I need to see an allergy specialist rather than be given hearing aids! Thank you.

If your hearing aids and white noise are working for you, that's great @Elmer B Fuddled. You are doing the right thing by keeping the white noise below the tinnitus, not masking it or completely covering it up so it can't be heard. This practice usually causes more problems than good, as it can...

...increases. But, to add to this, something else happened about a week ago, maybe you can give me some perspective on it... I use hearing aids, Oticon More 1's, not just during the day but also when lying down to sleep. I use the ReSound app with timer to play music or rain sounds. I keep the...

Yes, I've heard it. It sells hearing aids and is merely a hypothesis as far as I'm aware.

They are just bitter. You don’t have to apologize because your suffering—or in this case, lack thereof—is just as valid as someone who developed it suddenly. You are simply used to it. That’s the big difference. You have what they do not. Tinnitus doesn’t need a “pity Olympics.” It’s...

Hearing test done. It hasn't changed so that's good. I had hearing aids adjusted so that I can wear them. They were way out, to the point that any loud noise had me pulling them out.

Okay, I have experienced this lie and some others have as well. Many hearing aid places have told people the hearing aids can only have a frequency range of up to maybe 7 khz or maybe 8khz. Well, I found one that goes up to 12khz and it was one of the best I have ever used. I was able to...

Listening to white noise through hearing aids or AirPods can be beneficial. It will improve your mood;

...even possible for me. Dr. Keaner (spelling?) at Illuminear seemed very knowledgeable, but I haven't tried any real therapy with her. I think she could provide me with masking hearing aids, but I also have some hyperacusis in my right ear, which means sound therapy doesn't always feel...

Okay, I am going to post a document below that explains audiograms and why I believe some people could benefit from hearing aids even though some specialists say you don't need them. This is just my opinion so you'll need to call around to make sure this is an acceptable idea. In the audiogram...

Friday was a long day. Ten minutes into the treatment, the machine broke down, so I had to move to another machine and start the process all over again. In total, I spent 30 minutes flat on my back.

...wanted to tell people that are really suffering that even if you have a very mild hearing loss in which a doctor says you don't need hearing aids, it can be a comfort to get some anyways...In the U.S., most places will give you your money back after a certain trial period if you don't like...

Has anyone with hearing loss and tinnitus go the route of using just a hearing aid as opposed to a dual hearing aid that helps you hear better and to also mask the tinnitus ringing?

...1. Counseling for distress. Tinnitus can take a toll on your mental health, and counseling can help you manage the emotional burden. 2. Hearing aids. If hearing loss is detected, hearing aids can sometimes provide relief. 3. Consider medications. If you want to explore this option, look...

...I was too focused on my work to care. I do think, unfortunately, that this hearing loss is permanent and sensorineural. I plan to try hearing aids next month. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me. I will come back to post another update once I have tested the hearing aids. I...
