Hearing Aids and Tinnitus

Hearing Aids and Tinnitus - Tinnitus and Hearing Loss - Tinnitus and the effectiveness of hearing aids - Do they help?
I am not going to talk about any supplement cures for tinnitus on this video. This is video is about the 2 Types Hearing Aids that are designed to help manage tinnitus symptoms.
The first type of hearing aids that can help manage tinnitus do it amplifying external sounds, Masking or Relaxing the ringing. For example....
Widex has a hearing aid that creates soothing musical sounds, designed to have a random rhythm so it is more ignorable or listened to “in the background”
Starkey has a hearing aid creates a ocean waves sounds that soothes a cancels out the ringing
ReSound has a hearing that creates a white noise, modulates it like a wave sounds, to cancel and to help relaxation.
These hearing aids are designed to “mask”, or cover up, the tinnitus with another more pleasant and relaxing sound
Do they work,? Sure but not all cases. The "masker" may only partially cover up the tinnitus sound, but since its more soothing, it will help you pay less attention to the ringing
Sometimes the masking or white noise is not the same frequency as the ringing, they don't cancel each other out, and now you have 2 ringings in your ear, and or the new sound "waves" might be more distracting.
If you want these you have to buy those face to face -there is no on online hearing aid seller that could offer this solution because it will require a number of "tunings" If you want these hearing aids - do a search on google for Widex, Resound, or Starkey dealers in your area. be prepared - the prices are going to be over $2500 a piece
The 2nd type of Hearing Aids that help manage the tinnitus are hearing aids with a simple solution: manual volume control.
Here is how a manual volume control can help. The tinnitus or ringing is an internal sound. Your hearing Aids can amplify external sounds.
Most folks that suffer tinnitus say that the ringing is loudest when they are alone.
A hearing aid with volume control will amplify external sounds and over power the internal sounds - so that you are less focused on the ringing. when you are alone turn the volume up. When in crowds, turn it down.
It's not perfect solution but 50% of customers say it helps - and its better than nothing.
hearing aids with manual volume control are most affordable solution to managing your tinnitus. Price on these type of hearing aids start at $599
