In the UK I was told by an audiologist that they do not recommend masking. She also mentioned TRT lacks evidence. This is through the NHS. Privately they will offer it of course as it can empty your bank account. They only recommend CBT and hearing aids.

...to a local pub where I had been many times without issue. That night, a band was playing, and the music was very loud. I took out my hearing aids and moved as far from the speakers as possible, but it wasn’t enough. I should have left—that was the biggest mistake of my life. Not only did the...

...you use for masking (not sure if "masking" is the right term, but hopefully, you know what I mean)? I've come across a lot of different hearing aids and sound generators for tinnitus management, and I’ll need to buy something. There seem to be a lot of options, and cost isn't a concern—I'm...

@Juliane. Have your tried hearing aids yet?

...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...

...you notice any improvement in your hearing loss after the rock concert? Did your audiogram reflect this change? Did you consider using hearing aids? Can you tell me more about why you think this is psychosomatic, and a bit more about your history? Do you have any other symptoms or...

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 hearing loss and tinnitus. I've had hearing aids for about five years. I use the app BeMore; it has a wide variety of tinnitus masking abilities, including noise filtering, sensitivity, adjustable pitch, and the ability to keep the white below the tinnitus, which can be variable each day...

...was very poor. A hearing test confirmed what I already knew after the micro suction of impacted wax, and their suggestion was hearing aids. But I think I have just found a solution myself. After trying countless methods, such as saline flushes, steroidal nasal sprays, steam treatments...

...a volume control. By doing this, the tinnitus will usually be reduced. Therefore, it's important you are fitted with a hearing aid(s). Hearing aids can also be fitted with white noise generators. Tinnitus comes in many forms and intensities; not two people experience it differently. If...

...increased the decibels around my tinnitus frequency (4 kHz). I tried to ask about TRT but she just seemed focused on selling me these hearing aids with maskers. It really helped mask the tinnitus. But my goal with the TRT was to habituate to the sound, not to mask it. I don't want to become...

Thank you so much for your thoughts Michael. Your posts are always a breath of fresh air and gives some hope. What is your opinion on the use of hearing protection? Everything I do seems to spike my tinnitus. I started working out and doing cardio on a treadmill daily and guess what, it also...

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...

Thank you - I appreciate that. Ahh so you are saying that wearing hearing aids whilst using the device may boost hearing enough to hear the prescribed 50 dB or better range? I hadn't seen that, but that is an interesting way to look at it - thanks.

...sleep seems to be important as I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a while back. I often nap forgetting to put on my Bi-Pap mask. Hearing aids seem to help my tinnitus but can be hit or miss. I have inexpensive hearing aids with a small remote and also Widex Moment which I need my iPhone...

...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...

...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...

Hearing aids are different than sound machines. I think that hearing aids give you the perfect hearing that you didn't know you were missing.

Careful with sticking anything sound producing into your ears. Hearing aids with "masking" massively set me back a month ago only after using them (quietly) for an hour! I am finally recovering, it seems. Besides, you are only 1 month in? Give your ears a rest, protect but do not overprotect...

...was screaming. That incident triggered a spike in my stress levels that lasted for over two weeks. When we left to go home and were in the car, I said, "Never again ask me to go visit those people who cannot control their child." Have you thought of hearing aids with a tinnitus masking app?

...ear hearing loss is very similar to mine. My tinnitus is somewhere in the 8000 Hz to 12000 Hz range. Can you please provide some details regarding your first experience with TRT and hearing aids? I did try hearing aids but I think they were programmed in the wrong frequencies (4000-8000...

Hello @SFBay - I found your post and I was wondering if the hearing aids are still helping? A bit of my story. Over the past two years I’ve got into a routine of using sound therapy at home including sometimes before or after sleep to help manage my tinnitus and its impact on my wellness. I...

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?

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?

What do Treble Health offer that a high street audiologist doesn't? 1) CBT 2) Hearing aids 3) Playing sound through hearing aids They are going nowhere and have nothing to offer that a regular audiology/tinnitus clinic doesn't.

I bought hearing aids and wore them for about a year and found that they helped with my high frequency hearing loss, until my tinnitus became louder without explanation. I set them aside for several weeks and realized that my tinnitus was slowly getting quieter. Never wore them again.

...many possible options. The main reason I am posting now is because I saw my GP, who made a referral to an audiologist since I need new hearing aids and my hearing has worsened over the last few years. I should have known, but once again, I met with someone with numerous framed "signifiers"...

Hearing aids work well. Only time I use them is for sleep.

The protocol when doing TRT is to set the masking noise just below the level of your tinnitus.

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...

...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...

It’s 2023, the only stigma about hearing aids is the one you make up in your head. Literally no one cares if someone has hearing aids, just like no one cares if someone wears glasses.

@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...

...was so mild I could barely hear it and I felt I had made an appointment for nothing. Anyhow, she immediately said she'd order me hearing aids, which arrived a couple weeks later. In the time it took to get the hearing aids, my tinnitus suddenly became 24/7. Not exactly louder than it is at...

have you tried hearing aids yet?

Yeah, as if I could not sit still and keep messing things up. Luckily, the spike caused by hearing aids seems to have subsided completely. I am having a quiet tinnitus day - I guess what I call mild now, though would maybe be moderate for others. The hearing aids induced spike was really...

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...

Hearing aids have substantially reduced the ringing in my ears. If your hearing loss is severe, they may help. You will know within the first 10 minutes of trying them.

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...

...often (but not always) accompanies tinnitus that is noise induced. Since you are getting pleasure listening to audiobooks through your hearing aids, I don't want to dissuade you from doing this. However, I think it would be remiss of me not to mention, streaming audio through hearing aids...

...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)...

...documentation for take-home tinnitus treatment device. Utilizing 3D printing and CNC routing to design and fabricate parts for ambient sound rejection and improved EMI testing." Take it as you will, but I don't think the device is coming to the hearing aids dealer near you any time soon.

She calls them Phonak Bi-Cross hearing aids.

...but this reminds me I should go in and have things checked. They're the ones who made my two sets of custom earplugs and who got me my hearing aids. I chose them because they work a lot with professional musicians and understand the unique challenges. → https://rkaudiology.com/ What did...

...masking is interrupting because of my clicking sounds. This app on my iPhone which I purchased just for Bluetooth connectivity to my hearing aids is able to mask much better. When using the rain sounds, I'm not noticing much of the interruptions so that is a huge benefit. It doesn't mask...

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

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.

...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...

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

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...

What are these hearing aids called?

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?
