Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?

I have tried before and I will try again to not ignore those suffering from Tinnitus.
That being said when will the discussion get back to hearing loss. Is the stigma of hearing loss preventing you from posting on this site. Is it OK to post about Tinnitus but not hearing loss? Hearing loss dramatically affects millions of people in this country and hearing aids and CI’s can give people back the gift of hearing. Let’s start talking again about hearing loss. If my six year old granddaughter can not only talk about her hearing loss but actually say she needs hearing aids and wear them you can as well. Not only does she wear them but rather than being self conscious she owns them. Kids in her class have actually gone home to their parents and said they want hearing aids like hers. One classmate asked her why she wore them and she said it was for the same reason people wore glasses. People wear classes so they can see better and she wears hearing aids so she can hear better. There is no stigma around glasses so why should there be a stigma around hearing aids.
Why don’t we listen to a six year old and start talking about hearing loss on this site again.
I have severe to profound hearing loss but rather than ignore it I own it just like my granddaughter. Hearing aids have given me my life back and I am continually trying to find out more about the advancements they are making with the technology.
Let’s start to hear from some of you on this site so we can all learn something. Share what works and what doesn’t work. Isn’t that the reason this site exists?

NOTHING works. It's there for ever!!

I appreciate the hearing loss post daveshaw and agree we should be focusing on both however approximately 95% of those who have tinnitus like myself have hearing loss. I have worked for audiologists and found Starkey hearing aids to be the best for severe loss however every brain is different. Some of the advances are Gene therapy hair cell regeneration with many professors that work on hearing aid trials. Their inst much out there that I am aware of however CIs cochlear implants seem to be the best option if your past the hearing aid cycle and I agree like tinnitus we need more advancements and I will support hearing loss advancements as well as tinnitus. Stem cell researchers claim they have found a breakthrough in repairing the inner ear cells however as you know money is tight, layoffs keep occurring. Although I am an American tinnitus Association volunteer you can contact me anytime at (tvtinnitus@gmail.com) I would love to help.

Hello - have you tried sound therapy through your hearing aids my audiologist recommends, listening to soothing music through there, not to have it overtake the Tinnitus, but to get your brain to focus on it. Of course those with out tinnitus can tell you that it does help a little bit one thing to use to see if you can find anything that triggers it to get worse couple things I’ve been trying lately just making sure I relax before I go to bed, watching the sodium intake and alcohol because both of those retain fluid and according to my ENT, that fluid will go to your inner ear. Good luck!
