Reply to Julie: Thanks for mentioning that a CI may cancel out tinnitus! I've had constant humming in my useless right ear for decades, and may become a candidate for a CI if I lose much more hearing in my sorta good ear, so this is very good to know. Actually, I learned years ago to, for the most part, just ignore the 24/7 hum. I only realize it's there when someone writes about tinnitus.

I'll chime in on my HLAA affiliation since several have brought it up but I want to also respond to @joyces since she mentioned that she might get CI in the hopes that it helps the tinnitus as it did with @julieo4. One of my chapter members developed tinnitus only after getting a CI. It is very bothersome for her and she regrets getting the CI. She probably forgets the benefit of being able to hear better. But, nothing has helped with her tinnitus. I don't think she is giving treatment options enough time to be effective, such as meditation, but I'm only guessing since she responds quickly with her results after I've brought them up.
I am president of HLAA, Michigan State Association in addition to president of the Western Wayne County Chapter.

Joyces, just know there is no guarantee that tinnitus will go away once one has a CI. It may, and it may not. MInd, pretty much did.
