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?

First of all thank you for your concern & sharing info.
The ReSound hearing aids aren’t smaller in any way, they’re the typical behind the ear piece, wire around the ear & stick the other end in your ear so I don’t think size of device matters based on what you describe.
The heart of my story is battle to get my life back & tinnitus is primary. Of course hearing loss is disabling as well. Tinnitus is maddening and hard to describe how it’s impacted living a normal life but compared it to someone battling way worse disabilities it’s hard to put in perspective except to say its influenced my life in a negative way for several years. I was dx with Menieres syndrome in R ear june ‘21. hearing loss &tinnitus happened before that. I isolated a lot for a couple of years. I count my blessings.
