I have persistent loud tinnitus.
I wear my aids twelve to fourteen hours a day.
The aids definitely help with the tinnitus. They magnify surrounding sounds thus helping with the tinnitus.
The amount of help depends on the
amount of noise around you.
Sitting in front of the TV in a quiet room you probably will notice the tinnitus more than outside are in a noisy venue.
The other thing you may swear to is that when you take the hearing aids out the tinnitus is worst then before you got your hearings aids.
It's not. That's just how much the aids are helping mask the tinnitus.
I do have a tinnitus masking program that I use sometimes. It's just static noise but it can help distract from the tinnitus sometimes.
Ok got to go.
I know this answer is late but I haven't been to the site in a while.
I could say - wishing you good luck on your journey - but I've personally learned that adapting to hearing aids
requires hard work sometimes and definitely commitment.
