I am fairly new to hearing loss. Mine started after having Covid. I believe for sure that is why I lost hearing, but my hearing loss has been treated as an aging issue.

I’ve been wearing Signia hearing aids for two years. At first they helped, but over time I have developed tinnitus and hyperacusis. (I think triggered by MRI without good ear protection)

Anyway, now I have a balancing act to try to increase hearing, but still tolerate hyperacusis! It’s tough to balance volume to hear, but not have hyperacusis unbearable.
I have an appointment to discuss Lenire and see if that might alleviate some distress from tinnitus. I don’t believe it effects hyperacusis one way or another.
I’m curious if anyone else has had similar condition and if they’ve found relief from anything.
It’s made my life a misery.

I’ve been noticing hear.com is suggesting that we, who suffer from tinnitus AND hyperacusis, have suggested trying them out: HORIZON lX. Has anyone heard about them? I’ve also known that Phonak is doing something similar. Worthwhile? Probably yes!
