Hearing aids for tinnitus

Tinnitus isn’t “all in your head.” This very real condition can significantly diminish the quality of life for people who have it. While there is no cure for tinnitus, there are treatments to reduce severity and help with daily function, including hearing aids.

Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) is a kind of therapy which focuses on learning to cope with your tinnitus  on a conscious and subconscious level. This technique has helped a lot of people to experience stress reductions and a better quality of life.

This therapy can be compared to the sound of raindrops falling on a roof being noticed when it first starts raining, but going unnoticed and put out of mind after some time.

Tinnitus maskers, or tinnitus noisers, are small white noise machines that can work to help reduce the perception of tinnitus or overpower the internal sounds of your tinnitus. However, they don't work in the same way as playing music or listening to a movie washes out the sound. They use specific noises and tones to help dampen the noise in your ears.

With tinnitus maskers, your tinnitus and the white noise are both filtered to the background automatically by your brain. This can allow you to focus easier, fall asleep, or just generally relax easier.
