Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?

Thanks for your question. Lenire is an FDA approved product that is expensive. In my experience I see no difference between the product and helping someone learn how to retrain the brain using white, pink or lavender noise as I was trained. Hearing aids, mindfulness through learning cognitive behavioral therapy are more effective.

Can you tell me where I can get blue tooth for that just for left ear? Going on 5 years with 24/7 high ring that even ENT can't fix and even tho I have hearing loss it's not enough to give me hearing aids. Please and thank you

@beautifullybroken in my experience ENT's and even otoneurologists cannot do anything for tinnitus. Tinnitus does not come from the ear, apparently. Instead from the brain and/or auditory nerve.

I had a list of audiologists and clinics for "Tinnitus and Hyperacusis." It was either on Tinnitus Talk or the Hyperacusis Forum.

@beautifullybroken my audiologist got mine for me I have phonak hearing aids you can Google hearing aids if you don’t have an audiologist. They worked for me but might not you . They told me they didn’t know but as soon as I put them in the tinnitus was gone! I see the audiologist next Thursday and will ask.

I call mine a mosquito in a wind tunnel (closest description I could think of).
It gets worse as the day progresses, possibly because I take ibuprofen for chronic pain. I also am a grinder-clencher. I have a night guard but it’s in bad shape. They’re around $600 and not covered by most insurance. I’ve added OTC ones to build it up. (The last time I got it replaced the dentist looked at the wear and said, “Impressive”.)
Has anyone tried hearing aids? My physician wants me to go to an audiologist but with no insurance, it’s more than I can afford. The hearing aids on TV are a fraction of the cost. (Wonder if I can “test drive” one.)
I need only my right ear but can’t seem to find them sold singly. Some times I can handle the noise fine, other times I want to turn up the TV or music to make it stop.

My physician said there’s really no guarantee a hearing aid will stop the tinnitus. I’d love to be able to take a test drive before I invest.

Have you tried any earbuds before

If you mean the kind for music, yes and they didn’t work. I have small ears (the opening). I had to go to children’s plugs to stop water from getting in my ears when I was having chronic outer ear infections, commonly called swimmer’s ear. I got tired of them falling out and use cotton now.

I think I also have small ear canals, and I like my phonak hearing aids because they fit in my ear canal, but also have a part that drapes over my ear to hold it in place.

God Bless You. I have tinnitus in both ears with hearing loss. The right ear is a high pitched sound
and the left it is like Morse Code. After 6 years of this, I went to an Audiologist and got hearing aids and it
has been wonderful. I would say 90% of the Tinnitus is blocked out.

I do know someone that went to Costco and only got 1 hearing aid. I hear wonderful things about Costco. I'm
not sure about them letting you try them out before you buy though. Insurance (Medicare) should help with
the initial exam fee.

It does take a few weeks-months to get use to them. I was missing my families conversations, especially
if someone had a low voice. At church I would just nod and smile as the background music or people
talking drowned out the person I was talking too's conversation.

Praying for you and wishing you the best on this. I put it off way to long getting them!
