No she said because they are inexpensive. But you’re saying it should come with tcoils so if I go over to finally get my hearing aids (the loaners arent working great so yes im impatient to get some hearing aids that help me with tinnitus most of the time. Im getting thru a tough day today. It’s weather related im sure and no one has yet to find a cure for it. I can live with being deaf in one ear but the tinnitus is a problem.
I told her what I learned about tcoils. She said we will talk about it then but to get that option will cost more.

If she's fitting you with hearing instruments meant to mask tinnitus, the situation may be different. Regardless, telecoils do not add cost to hearing aids. It seems that manufacturers of hearing aids have put more effort into making their products smaller than into making them better. In some instances, they removed the telecoil component for that reason. People who are 'in the know' about the value of telecoils have complained loudly about that.

Is tinnitus a greater problem for you than hearing loss is?
