...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...

...is one of the authors. The indication was single-sided deafness with tinnitus. → Tinnitus reduction in patients with single-sided deafness: the effect of cochlear implantation, bone conduction devices, and contralateral routing of sound hearing aids investigated in a randomized controlled trial

...was that I had damaged my ears and could not hear high pitched frequencies anymore [can't remember the kHz]. They also gave me these hearing aids / maskers, that play a pitch that cancels out the tinnitus. They also said that I had a little wax in my right ear. Anyway I wore the aids in my...

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...

...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...

...scared. Hearing test shows moderate to high frequency loss, lower tones fine. I was hoping to be given maskers but no, small hearing aids that MIGHT help. Such a lovely lady but once again seems like a dead end. Sound proof room seems to have made T go mad and a new noise to join the others...

...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...

...hell. I can totally mask the T with them. But I keep the volumn low enough to here the T so I can eventually get used to it without the hearing aids. When I sleep at night I use a white noise machine and wear my right aid only. I can here the noise maker and sleep all night. I also...

...me something. I don't have a perfect hearing, not deafness but not optimal for my twenty years. So as I know that one day i will wear hearing aids, i would like to ask you how does it feels to have an hearing aid? Is it comfortable, is it good for restaurants, cinema, how do you cope with...

...of these events could have caused my tinnitus as well. Anyway, where is the success you ask? Well, growing up I never wore my regular hearing aids much, because I hated how much they amplify the sounds of everything. Well, I popped them in last week, and I don't hear my tinnitus at all when...

Hi all What a night ,lost my hearing aids (now found) usually wear them in bed to knock some of the T out. Boy oh boy id forgotten how loud my ears can get.Telling you ten out of ten noise ,I honestly do not know how i would cope without the aids.it took me back to 2010 when an ear infection...

Has anybody considered hearing aids path to get some relief ? We know that hearing aids can help only if we have have hearing loss in human hearing range upto maybe 6-7khz but I read that we now have high frequency loss hearing aids available in the market too? Why isn't there much buzz about...

I went to the hearing aid specialist the other day and he programmed hearing aids for me. However, he had a new piece of equipment this time which had wires with little microphones on them. He put them in my ear to measure the true amplification that my hearing aids were giving instead of only...

...ears are screaming now. I know it is from hearings loss from construction... My question is this... Should I go back on Zoloft which worked but made me emotionally numb... or try hearing aids which feed back my tinnitus ...tricking my brain into thinking my ears are fine... Feedback appreciated!

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...

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

...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...

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

...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...

So, after all my problems, someone else in my family with hearing issues decided to get hearing aids. Well, I borrowed the hearing aids. The ringing is semi the same, but I can hear better in that ear. It's not perfect. Also, it's like my brain is readjusting to hearing. Like I feel semi like...

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

...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...

...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...

...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...

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...

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...

...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...

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...

...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.

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...

...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...

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!!

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...

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. 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...

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

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

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...

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.

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...

...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...

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...

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'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...

...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...

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...

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...

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.

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 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...

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

...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...

...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...
