    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    @Michael Leigh this is my question: Can TRT help someone with hearing loss and very variable tinnitus? I have a Signia Motion 13 5Nx hearing aid with a noise generator.

    I listen to music all day long, from dawn to night. Tinnitus is always louder than the music.

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    @Michael Leigh it's strange that you didn't answer my question right away, but you only reacted when a TRT critic appears. More and more tinnitus centers are starting to question the effectiveness of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy themselves. You, however, in every single statement you make...

    Hi, I'm Rafal from Poland

    A week ago I had the quietest day since February last year and the 3 days before that were also good. Can this herald the arrival of good periods more often? Will there still be such fluctuations when you have hearing loss? @frpp No, no one has ever told me before that I am similar to this...

    A Dominant Right Ear with a Different Hearing Clarity: What Causes This?

    The question is addressed to people who know a little more about the physiology of hearing. Even when I had no tinnitus, when I used headphones, open or half-open, the right ear was always dominant, and when I pressed the headphone against my left ear, I could hear every instrument, vocals etc...

    Hi, I'm Rafal from Poland

    Nowadays it is bad or even very bad. My tinnitus is so loud that nothing masks it. I will do anything to last another year, maybe two.

    Hi, I'm Rafal from Poland

    Hello. I've had tinnitus from November 2018 with significant deterioration since February 2019. My tinnitus is loud, I can drown it out with sound, music from 85dB. I wear hearing aids. At first they reduced my tinnitus very much, but it did not last long. Just a year ago I was completely...

    Hearing Aids

    I currently have two hearing aids but they do not reduce my tinnitus. During testing, the difference was immediate, and that's a big one - 60-80% less tinnitus. I'm already exhausted from all of this. In addition, I am a disabled person. I am 47 years old, but I would like my life to be over.

    Hearing Aids

    @LindaS Thanks for your answer. I have tinnitus in both ears, but in the left it is much louder. Yes, my tinnitus is changing and this is the worst. However, when I had two hearing aids, definitely tinnitus was much more acceptable, and sometimes even imperceptible. That's why I'm going to...

    Hearing Aids

    I have a mild hearing loss on my right and a mild to moderate hearing loss on my left. I have had a left-handed hearing aid for over a year, but without seeing any change in the noise, I left it a few months ago. About 3 weeks ago I was called to come with it for a regular check. At that time...

    I am a disabled person with cerebral palsy. I have had tinnitus since November 2018, and in February 2019 there was a huge deterioration that continues to this day.

    What's Your Definition of Mild Tinnitus?

    Since February this year, I've had a significant, terrible deterioration. It is only masked by music at the level of 80dB upwards. I can hear it always and everywhere; on the street, in shopping malls, in the shower. Sometimes I have better days that give hope, but usually the next day brings...

    Otoemission showed that in my left ear I have no hearing cells and in my right ear residual 1.5-3 kHz. I have a cavity but not deep. I have a hearing aid on my left ear because it started with my tinnitus.

    @BrStan@ Your words have given me some faith in a better tomorrow, thank you. I have had noises since November 2018 with a significant deterioration since February 2019. I also have a hearing loss, but if it wasn't for tinnitus, I probably wouldn't even notice it. I was born with a disability...

    Hi, I'm Rafal from Poland

    I don't know why I had my primary tinnitus, but I suspect it was because of my hearing loss. My left ear has a PIAP of 500Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz and 4 kHz of 49dB and my right ear has a PIAP of 35dB. This is the data from a recent audiometer in a place where they sell hearing aids, so it may be a bit...

    Hi, I'm Rafal from Poland

    No, I can't affect the sound of my tinnitus. I have one hearing aid, left. I also have a hearing loss on my right ear, but not the same as on my left, but with my audiogram I doubt I would qualify for Lenire.

    Hi, I'm Rafal from Poland

    Thank you for your words of support. My noises are loud enough; to drown them out, I have to turn on the music on the verge of loud - very loud. It wasn't like that at first. I fell asleep without pills, listened to a lot of music and headphones. Everything got worse since that fall. I...
