I am not a fan of static white noise sounds, but I recently tried a Widex hearing aid with Zen tones and found I preferred it. Some Widex models also go up to 12k for hearing support.Thanks Greg, I think the reason I would like to try also, is that my hearing just feels so unbalanced, perfectly fine in the mid and then basically drops of a cliff once you get up high. I feel this is doing strange things to my head, maybe this is where the pressure feeling comes from, I don't know. The last time I asked about hearing aids I was dismissed fairly quickly because I could hear properly in the speech range, and had white noise gens pushed on me, I wonder if things have changed in the last couple of years. I know that the bandwidth is pretty good on some of the units now, up to 10khz, the manufacturer surely did this for a reason.
My head goes haywire if I listen to white noise, or anything like that, it's like my tinnitus gets more power and really ramps up to these levels that are just unbelievable. Hoping a hearing aid can balance things out more naturally for me, maybe my brain readjusts.
And yeah, for sure, I would just use them for some of the day, wouldn't need them 24x7. Just would be nice to hear things half way properly again at least some of the time.
I think I can do a trial for 30 days so I guess I have little to loose.
Sorry to hear about your hearing loss, I'm sure that's tough, hope you are doing okay.
Thanks for the advise
I absolutely can relate to feeling unbalanced, too. My hearing loss is in one ear: it's perfect hearing and then a drop to 70db at 6k which remains for subsequent frequencies until it climbs back to 50db at 16k. My audiologist says that my 16k is actually good for being in my 30s.
I definetly would recommend trying one out, but recognize that it might need quite a bit of tweaking. I used one for almost two weeks but could tell it wasn't picking up what I needed it to. With some additional tweaks, I'm sure it would have. My grandmother has had hearing aids for many years and she cautioned me that it can take several tweaks before they get it just right, and even then it can take a month or more to get used to using one.
Good luck!
