Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?

I do not know if you have heard of Amikacin - Induced Tinnitus and if there is any treatment that can reverse or repair the damage caused by Amikacin? Also, would you recommend going to Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic for treatment?

Hi:-) Good luck with the Bicros. I started wearing them in April and it made a big difference with my hearing but sadly it did nothing for my tinnitus. I still have a constant engine noise in my left ear and I often have a headache as a result. I"m still considering a CI, but I'm concerned about the long adjustment period and possibly being one of those people who can't make the adjustment. Once you go for a CI, there's no reversing it!

When you say 2 for $99.99, does it mean a pair of Oricle hearing aids, or two pairs?

@dag620, that’s for one pair

@2abbygail, my doctor wants me to see an audiologist since my hearing loss is from injury, multiple outer ear infections, and she said there is no guarantee that hearing aids will help me.

Most of what I’ve learned has been from online sources, especially the American Tinnitus Organization, https://www.ata.org/

They have a monthly newsletter, too

Hearings Aids filtered out about 95% of my Tinnitus. They are an adjustment, but, its worth it to
be able to hear conversations and not have the ringing so loud in my right ear and morse code in the left.
I'm sold on them. Life changer.

I wish you all the best on your decision. Blessings & Prayers...

@hraka13 It's important to know that hearing aids fit by a licensed provider/fitter generally come with a trial period. That can vary from 30 days to a few weeks longer. ('Big Box' providers like Costco and Sam's Club give a longer trial time.) You can return them within that time frame if they are not working well for you. Be sure you know what that time frame is and wear them in all of the situations where your hearing issues are troublesome. That way you'll know if they are helping you.

Definitely see a qualified ENT MD or an Audiologist; one with AuD behind their name because they have a doctorate level degree in the field and you have medical issues of concern.

Go through the testing procedure and ask questions about your audiogram. Also ask for a copy of your test results so you can go elsewhere if you choose to for fitting.

Cost is always an issue with hearing aids, but hearing better, eliminating tinnitus, etc. are worth the price.

Constant Tinnitus may have very different causes, from inner ear problems to medications, to iron deficiency anemia, to Vitamin B and D deficiencies. Autoimmune diseases may also cause tinnitus. The solutions will depend on the cause. Please see a link to Mayo Clinic Article on Tinnitus.
