Thank you so much for update on how the new hearing aids are working for your tinnitus, lioness. I am going to check out heartech site and do a little research on them. I would sure be pleased if I could purchase aids that helped more than the ones I presently have that were very expensive, but really have did "nothing" to lessen noise. Me and my wallet would be thrilled if I could find a pair that wouldn't be so costly and above all, help me hear better! Is there a specific type or model number that you purchased?

@cherriann They have 2 kinds the in the canal which I have and the behind the ear kind . Yes check them out . I like mine but am afraid I might lose them I should of gotten the behind the ear kind . You can read about each one.

Cherriann: I see you have issues with tinnitus. I am not sure what you hear but I have the tinnitus with the real high pitched ring and also was diagnosed with reactive tinnitus...this is a real low pitched drone. It gets worse when I am exposed to noise...like that found in restaurants or meeting places. I spent 4 hours at the Froedert Tinnitus/Hearing clinic in Milwaukee 6 weeks ago and was very pleased with the time they spent with me. They recommended sound therapy(white noise,etc) several hours and day. I can either use my earmuffs or my Phonak Compilot 2. I should see results within 6-9 months. I will let you know how that works. I am finally understanding the problem. I have been retired for a little over a year. When I was working my office was right above the plants compressor/utility area. The low drone pitch I am hearing now is the noise I was exposed for over 30 years! Isn't that interesting? Just thought I would share this. Hope things get better for you!
