I'm new here as of about 5min. ago.
I need more information about hearing and particularly, Tinnitus.
Does anyone have constant 24/7, LOUD tinnitus that changes sounds and pitches; depending on meds, or stress or blood pressure etc.?
I need more information about hearing aides also; do they really help or aggravate?

Hi. I’m Carole
I am 81 y.o and have been wearing hearing aids (phonax) for over a year. Began experiencing tinnitus about two years ago. My hearing aids seem to mask the tinnitus and especially so when watching tv or conversing.
I feel like I will never get used to tinnitus, which has now added some other sounds, but “hissing” is the main one.
When I meditate in the morning I do lose awareness of it. Feel meditating is helping me to cope. Feel free to share your experiences with this “old lady” who I s young at heart 💕
