They actually make frequency lowering hearing aids in which they can convert higher frequency sounds to be heard at lower frequencies. However, tinnitus can often be at higher frequencies. What if there were such a device that took lower frequencies, amplified them, and converted them to...

It is interesting to me, that in the Hearing Aids thread, @Quiet please talks about significant relief from hearing aids which transmit the sound from one ear to the other ear. She says she got this relief after years of no relief from normal hearing aids. (Her posts start on page 24 of that...

I tried some really expensive custom hearing aids a few months ago. The audiologist programmed it to my mild hearing loss between 4000 and 8000 Hz. Thinking back, it probably didn’t work, because my tinnitus frequencies were way higher than those. I will let you know how these new sets work...

I am honestly at peace and looking forward to getting hearing aids within the next 1-4 years. I don't even feel like dwelling on what could have been if my ears were healthy. I just want to do my best in life now. But I do have a question and that is: will Dr. Shore's device remove the brain...

...then don't mess with it. You'll absolutely get used to it in time. There's not much an ENT can do for tinnitus besides: Steroids Hearing aids (for hearing loss within the 250 Hz - 10,000 Hz range) Maskers CBT Antidepressants (which can exacerbate tinnitus, but depends on the individual)...

I really wish @jacob21 came and answered your questions... My question to @jacob21 is: can you elaborate more on "kind of pain"? Did you ever have burning/stabbing sensation in your ear no matter how light/short lived?

Hearing aids help with amplification of noise around you, so the T is not as noticeable. Masking sounds make it worse for me.

@tomytl, I don’t know about you, but I genuinely feel like disappearing or dying. Since hearing tests don’t show any loss, hearing aids don’t work for me and never will. I’m convinced I have cochlear synaptopathy because every hearing test I’ve taken results in doctors telling me, “There’s...

I did turn this around 2 times with white noise generators and so can you. Unfortunately there is no quick fix. You have to give it time.

When I take out my hearing aids, it always does a feedback sound in my ear. Could that make my tinnitus worse? I always get anxiety to take them out because I feel like damage is happening and I fear it is making my tinnitus worse. I have the smallest hearing aids (the ones that go in the...

Thinking about asking for hearing aids with maskers. Unsure if it would make T worse but I feel like I need to do something to cope.

I don't know if a cheap pair of OTC hearing aids will work as well. Go to a hearing aid center and try them all. I would try the expensive ones first. If they don't help, the cheaper one's won't for sure.

Getting more used to my hearing aids. I need to start learning ASL but the anxiety over this whole thing is so paralyzing.

Hello. Are you still using the hearing aids? If so, are they helping, and what frequency is your tinnitus? Thank you.

Can cheap OTC hearing aids do the trick or do you need the expensive ones?

How long were you doing the TRT for, and how long ago? I have read that it's not effective, so maybe time and natural healing while being careful with hearing protection would have resulted in the same. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy Is Ineffective, Latest Study Finds

It is the cost that prevents most people from purchasing hearing aids.

Yes, so true, after all, hearing aids are just like earplug headphones. If they are too loud, the damage should be the same.

...physical damage, or genetic history of hearing loss. My audiologist basically said she doesn't know either but said I qualify for hearing aids whenever I feel that I need them. With regards to hearing aids, I'm wondering if they work like glasses would. So if you're told you have a mild...

Greetings all, first post, tinnitus is a new affliction for me, probably only five weeks or so at the most. I'll get around to introducing myself and with added questions later, but have found one conventional opinion really difficult to find: Since I have sudden moderate hearing loss in only...

...at this point. That makes sense. It will help you figure out whether your hearing has stabilized or not. At some point, it may be beneficial for you to look into hearing aids. Also, consider doing hearing tests at various other providers so you don't have a provider-driven bias in your...

Have hearing aids provided any relief?

Gonna give hearing aids a shot soon.

Thank you for your reply, Stephan. It means so much to me! I will try using hearing aids and massage, and I'll ask about Gabapentin.

I have the Widex Moment hearing aids. One went bad so they have to send it in. They think it’s the lithium battery. I don’t know if Widex Moment hearing aids are only maskers? Okay, I was supposed to meet with their Sales Representative. I like the Bluetooth built in. I have to use my phone to...

What was the trajectory of your hyperacusis? It has presumably improved? Over what duration?

Agreed. Tinearity is a white noise generator and is more unsightly than the Widex hearing aids I have which are already generating sounds (and which do nothing for my tinnitus). The Auricle device is designed to actually lower the volume of your tinnitus. Just waiting patiently for its release.

...decided to, at last, sign up to this forum to hear others' stories and learn more about tinnitus. I have hearing loss and been wearing hearing aids since my late 20's. My hearing loss is most severe in low tones. Tinnitus has been getting worse for me in the past 5 years. So, here I am!

Wearing hearing aids has highlighted my hearing recruitment, with a splashy effect at the limited high frequencies I can hear along with a broken speaker effect.

Have hearing aids helped any of you guys?

...chirping away, when I say host I’m hoping that’s the right description for a hedgerow packed with sparrows all chirping at once. I have hearing aids with tinnitus support, but they are not that helpful. Has anyone looked into Cortexi? It’s American and can only be purchased online. I tried...

...for a couple of days. I’m not taking any medication currently. I want to heal to 100% so bad. I made such a huge mistake. My ENT said my hearing is done healing which leaves me quite depressed. He also said I don’t need hearing aids, but I don’t like the way I currently hear; I know it’s off.

...to exposure to sound that, hasn't always got to be loud. It depends on certain factors. I don't know how long you have been using your hearing aids with integrated white noise generators.

I think I am going to try Ghost Pipe. Thanks @Kevin Tavin. I have the same type of tinnitus. Monaural and I wear hearing aids. I am tapering off Klonopin, Mirtazapine and Clonodin. How much of the Ghost Pipe tincture do you take and at what time?

I do not have hearing loss. However, I use Oticon hearing aids that have built-in sound generators for tinnitus therapy. My audiologist disabled the hearing aids via computer, so these devices operate purely as sound generators for tinnitus and hyperacusis if it is present. These devices...

you had this since 2007 wow thats crazy for real. but try hearing aids and see if that helps. if masking helps you im sure hearing aids adjusted right will help distract you. also be on here december 3 2022 for susan shore

...hypercusis. The former overall got much worse over time, the latter somewhat improved. Just one word of warning. I only recently tried hearing aids, more like TRT. 1 hour of quiet playing of a cricket sound hugely set me back, I feel permanently. So be careful, and if you try them, introduce...

I tried a set for one hour, to play some sound enrichment quietly. Now for the past 3 weeks I have had a tremendous setback, catastrophic tinnitus 70% of the time, pushing me closer to suicide than ever. If one has reactivity and/or hyperacusis, I'd strongly recommend not trying hearing aids.

Hi. Sorry, I was abroad... Regarding hearing aids, I have a slight correction in the high frequencies (> 8000 Hz) but what helps me the most is the white noise at a very low level, at the frequency of my tinnitus. This white noise is located around a frequency of 10 kHz (TRT concept). It's not...

...a lot, in movies, while driving, at the grocery store, you name it. If it’s just tinnitus and the environment isn’t overly loud, I wear hearing aids. I first got them in 2014 when I started experiencing low-frequency tinnitus because I literally couldn’t hear over the sounds in my head. The...
