here's a few things for relieving ringing in ears naturally Ensure you eat enough fruit and vegetables. Take vitamin C Use herbs which cleanse the body eg milk thistle Use herbs with infection fighting properties such as myrrh and burdock and others including huang qi (I learned these and the reasons they work from Dajon Ear Relief site )
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "does tinnitus get progressively worse?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Meniley Deyilliam Method - (just google it )? It is a great one off product for discovering the real root cause of Tinnitus minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 after many years got amazing success with it.
Though i haven't meet Dr Akhere but i have being hearing and seeing his wonderful deeds on people's life..

My tinnitus and hearing loss is from the PITS OF HELL. Its makes me wish I had passed away that tragic day. But I am here so I try to be grateful to be alive. 🙏😪
I finally got a doctor to take me seriously and refer me to a hearing specialist to help with my tinnitus and hearing loss. I have my first appointment in two weeks and I’m so glad I found your videos so I can learn more about what to expect.
I guess I’m lucky, I’ve had Tinnitus for so long it has just become apart of my being. I just ignore it and don’t hear it until someone brings the subject up and then it takes 10 or 15 minutes for me to ignore it again. It’s like if I stop and listen I can hear my breathing but I don’t pay any attention to that noise so why pay any attention to the other. There is noise everywhere and we just ignore it also. I just mentally decided to ignore it and I do with great success.
I have had tinnitus since 1975, but did not get a masker because they were actually worse than the ringing. Then I got a pair of Audeo B Directs this year. The masker is excellent. It was frequency-tuned and volume adjusted so that I barely notice the masker but the ringing goes away (as long as I have my hearing aids in). I am in hog heaven, now. I can hear and not have ringing. Win-win!
Jarold Williams please more information what is masker? I have tinnitus for past 10 yrs this makes my life difficult. Yes I do hearing aids in this 6 months please more information
Totally according to you doctor, well-calibrated hearing aids cure tinnitus, and I say this because when my father had tinnitus he put on his hearing aids and it was reduced by 90%, but the most curious thing is that when he took them off, tinnitus It disappeared for hours and then came back, until one day my father told me that he didn't wear his hearing aids months ago and the tinnitus never came back. I think that relieving tinnitus is easier when you have hearing loss, but it is more problematic when you listen well but you have noise ... in conclusion, generally, better hearing, less tinitus.
I learned more from this video than my several visits to the ENT. I've had Tinnitus for over a year now and hearing test shows hearing loss. I got a hearing aid a week ago and I like the Bluetooth features of my hearing aid. I am making calls and listening to music right from my hearing aid. I like the Starkey app and listen to it really low so it's not loud or annoying. I preferred it over the masker that was consistent and I am able to switch the sounds.
I have had hearing loss for about 15 years and I used the Kirkland Costco basic behind the ear hearing aids. They needed to be adjusted a few times early on, but I realized after the first 5 year’s they were no longer helping me. Fast forward to 2022 and after having Covid I was having Tinitus every evening mostly in one ear and put up with it for one year due to it now being 24/7 and causing depression and anxiety. Some friends of the family suggested a great Audiologist, and I found out my right ear has lost 80% of hearing and my left about 60% I am 60 years old and don’t want to lose all of my hearing. I also have headaches and dizziness with fatigue. My primary Doctor wants me to have an MRI to rule out anything serious. Had to vent a little lol Dr. Cliff I really have learned so much from your Video’s so please keep making them. I’m in California and appreciate the time you take to put so much information out there. TY
I've had aids six years and T for 28 years, aids really do help, but sadly I have reactive tinnitus brought on by overwhelming stress. Don't get stressed, it's toxic and useless.
I have had tinnitus for as long as I can remember but it was so mild that I barely noticed it unless there was dead silence. This past winter my tinnitus has increased dramatically to where I am almost always aware of it especially in my right ear. The ringing isn't so loud that it prevents me from sleeping but sometimes it does get annoying. What's weird is this morning when I woke up I didn't hear it at all. I thought that maybe the tinnitus miraculously went away. Then it was like my brain realized I wasn't hearing anything so the tinnitus returned.
Has your tinnitus gotten worse since you posted this? I have a similar story where I had it for years but it's gotten way worse the past couple months, where I can hear it over everything. Have you found anything that helps?
@@ianbent0n I'm sorry that your tinnitus has gotten worse recently. My tinnitus is about the same. Over time I have gotten use to it but I still wish I didn't have it. Last summer I was taking Lipo-Flavenoid Plus Ear Health Supplement for a couple of month. Unfortunately it didn't help.
@@nicoleades1122 sorry to tell you you’re not out of the woods majority of Tinnitus suffers on whatever level you’re on at some point through your life it’s going to get extremely worse even if it’s 20 years from now
God Bless you Dr. for your empathy and understanding of this! This video gives people hope based on something that does work for many including myself. Keep up the good work!
I always whistle the pitch of my tinnitus for a minute or so and I have done so for the last few years and I'm absolutely experiencing it disappearing completely or almost all the way for that episode. my tinnitus varies in its severity and how long and loud the episodes last for. I get it every day and have found this is useful as a way of helping it. I thought of this as a way of accepting it at first instead of getting upset and that's why I believed it worked but it also seems to work in line with this sound replacement theory. I about to try my first hearing aid. thanks for the video
I started developing hearing loss in my late teens, around 16-18. At first there were no ringing, it was crackling. It started out with my dad being too loud and my ears would crackle like static, or when you plug in your speakers to your TV that popping sound. After graduation it moved to just a somewhat ringing in one ear, then it moved to both ears in my 20's and pretty soon I wasn't able to hear most things that are out of my peripherals (behind me, or off to my side). Most just assume I'm oblivious and not aware of my surroundings but I literally just can't hear them coming up behind me. I've lost count how many times I've completely just backed up into someone in the store, or couldn't hear a car coming up on me crossing the street. I don't think my hearing is *just* Tinnitus anymore.
Oh my god, I know exactly what you mean with the crackling noise!! I have hearing loss related to loud noises, and every time something is pst a certain pitch or if I talk loud enough, my left ear sounds so staticky :(
Hey Cliff, This has been my first line of real treatment for my new onset tinnitus as a result of acoustic trauma (moderate hearing loss at 4-5K in the right ear). As you pointed out, it makes sense. The brain is creating this signal to compensate for the lost frequencies where those neurons are no longer stimulated. However, why doesn't it work for all tinnitus sufferers?? There is clearly a piece missing to this puzzle. My audiologist fit me with a pair of ReSound Linx 3D. She did REM's and activated their Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) feature. I've had them about 2 weeks. I honestly cannot say I notice a difference. The TSG feature is too quiet and I need to get her to increase the volume. As it stands now, the amplification and the TSG volume are tied together. If I crank up the volume to hear the TSG, the amplification is too much for me. It's like being Spider Man. I can hear a bug crawl across the floor at 100 yards! I think the TSG is too limited and not sure why ReSound doesn't just integrate their Relief app features into the Smart 3D app. It's curious to me that they don't do this. Give the end user more flexibility in the sound therapy that they can deliver via their hearing aids. The Relief app is free, so not sure of the business model they are going after on this one. I can go to the Relief app to get more choices, but then I take a hit on battery life because now I am streaming via BT and not staying native to the circuitry of the aids. Stupid. If this doesn't work (I have a 45 day trial), my thought was to go with Signia's Notch Therapy they have in their hearing aids. The audiologist I see now does not use Signia because there is no local representation, but I think I can probably find someone who will dispense them. Have you had any success with Signia's notch therapy and tinnitus management in your patient population? ATB, Michael
I would especially encourage any US military veterans with tinnitus to specifically ask their VA health care provider for a hearing evaluation. You might think that's a standard thing but it usually requires a specific request from the patient to get the primary care provider to write a consult to audiology. I'm finding that the great advancement which has been helping my tinnitus is Bluetooth in my hearing aids. I now have so many options available through RUclips videos for the exact background sounds that are pleasing to me and basically mask my tinnitus. I'm going to pay a little bit closer attention after wearing my hearing aids for a full day to see if I notice my tinnitus even when I'm not playing a background sound
I finally got my ears tested yseterday, my audiogram almost completely matched yours!! Im hoping to get hearing aids in the next few months so hopefully it will help my tinnitis too!
Thank you. I'm new to your channel. I relate my tinnitus to the music ringing G note. I will be wearing hearing aids in three weeks. This weekend I was so nervous about wearing them, I started to cancel my second appointment and forget it. Listening to your channel actually calmed my nerves and understanding that it will be OK.. Thank you and blessings....
So long as doctors can continue to prescribe Prozac, tinnitus will continue to happen. This is only one of its causes. It does not happen to everyone who takes Prozac. It is one of the side effects and I don't remember being told about this. Sleep is hard to find when you have a noise louder than your alarm clock in your head. People can distract themselves with other things. I knit and crochet and it is good for me, while I concentrate on what I make, I find relief. The rest of the time, I often find a video lecture I am interested in. This helps. Playing the piano for me is ear therapy. It is also good for my emotions and my soul.
I suffer from tinnitus and the perception of it comes and goes. It gets worse, the more I think about it and it's definitely related to awareness for me. But i have episodes when it could be really bad for months at a time. In those instances i sleep with a sound machine to mask it. Getting hearing aids soon and I hope it does help with tinnitus too. Hope I'm in the 60%.
Only reduces perception when there is sound to amplify, 2nd Day of 30 day trail and I have more noise makers to cancel out the ringing working in my office, morning coffee, even watching TV. The sound quality is better than digital but not worth the extra devices making noise for everyone where I do not notice the hiss from the digital HAs.
I have a constant double ringing in my ears right is the worst it’s like a little ringing and a high-pitched ringing it’s horrible it’s debilitating at times I go to sleep with it I wake up with that I have to take Clonopin which I think causes it just so I could sleep has your time I have any piece it’s become worse in the last couple of years I hope we find a cure for all of us. Sitting here right now can’t even hear the TV over the ringing. I can’t hear my family anymore. They’re getting annoyed with me because I’m always saying huh 😢
I got herbal supplements in form of ear drop from dr Ogbebor herbal centre,on RUclips.,,2 drops into both ears 3 times daily after two weeks my tinnitus was gone
Question i noticed when i push my jaw forward my tinnitus gets louder.. Has anyone tried that.. And if so i wonder if the jaw has anything to do with it..
No. I tried masking it with hearing aids. They did not help. In fact my tinnitus gotten worse after six month trial. 😮 I am scheduled for additional tests soon. Surgery might be the next option. It will depend on the test results.
I have had tinnitus for about three months, the noise is easy to deal with sometimes, it goes super quiet for a few hours a day, I've got it through an ear infection, my ear became blocked, I had a few different courses of medicines from antibiotic drops to tablets to ear drops but eventually was given an urgent ENT appointment and had the blockage cleaned out and given the all clear, was told my ear drum has no visible damage, the ear canal and walls were in good shape. I was given a hearing test in the same appointment and was told my left ear (the one with the tinnitus) is slightly weaker than the right but not significant, I was sent home with the all clear (sort of) and told the ringing would stop in time "in time" which is now the default response from my GPs almost every time I go to see them. What I want to know is: Is the fact that my left ear is weaker than the right (slightly is how the Audiologist described it) be the reason for the ringing (the constant ringing) and if not then what do you think might be the reason. The Doctors/ENT have all said that the noise should go at some point but I'm getting a little ticked off with that same damn response. So in your opinion and from what I've told you, d'you think that there is a chance I could benefit in hearing aid (I know you can't be sure but just a rough guess would help). I should add that I live in the UK and I half believe that COST is whats stopping the Doctors even consider hearing aids (budgets are being cut like a knife through butter at the minute). So opinion please.
Sounds like your tinnitus is here to stay and treatment would be necessary to reduce or mask the perception of your tinnitus. If it is the lack of sound to your left ear, a hearing aid may help. If it doesn't, you would have to undergo other forms of alternative treatment.
DJV I literally have the same thing as you same ear same everything and it bothers me it’s been a week it’s killing me I can’t handle it anymore I can’t sleep and It gets with school I don’t get on time to class because of loss of sleep or tired in my class I hate tinnitus with everything I don’t want it I’d trade anything for it to go away I’m on the urge to just end it tbh :(
I’m on a program which is tinnitus desensitisation therapy where I have 2 heating devices one for the day and night in the hope that over time the brain will retrain itself and forget the sound. You must have hope that also over time the brain will get bored.
tinnitus is worse at night and hard to concentrate or study during the day. Is it better to invest in Bose sleepbuds or hearing aid? What's the most affordable hearing aid for mild loss?
Thank you for this video. I have suffered with Tinnittus for over a year now. My insurance does not reimburse for hearing aids. The hearing tech. at my Miracle Ear is going to get me a pair of outdated hearing aids and reprogram them for my Tinnitus. I am looking forward to getting some relief from all the ringing in my ears. Gerry 😊
@@TiggyTabbycat Sorry, no. When I went back, the outdated hearing aids she was going to reprogram for tinnitus were $2,500. Since my insurance does not reimburse for them, I could not afford them
Yea I’m 31, and I noticed when I wear my hearing aids my tinnitus is slightly gone.. I’m so use to my tinnitus know. At one point when I first developed it , I was like fuck this’ I’ll end my own life.. Then i was less bothered by it... idk . tinnitus has no affect over my life...although my hearing is done for sure, I can honestly say my sleep is never disturbed due to it..
Idk if I ha e tinnitus or if it's just in my head. I really don't hear or notice it until I think about it. But then once I start thinking about it it seems like it gets louder.
I got herbal supplements in form of ear drop from dr Ogbebor herbal centre,on RUclips.,,2 drops into both ears 3 times daily after two weeks my tinnitus was gone
But if you use these hearing aids how does it impact all the frequencies you normally hear? Does it change these frequencies by filtering them so that all sounds you hear are filtered through a hearing aid????
I was around the same age when I was diagnosed with tinnitus, I'm in my 20's now. The best advice that I can give you is to mitigate any possible increases to your tinnitus. Use earplugs in noisy environments and avoid using headphones whenever possible, but if you do need to use headphones, make sure you keep the low volume even if you can't hear the music that well. I avoided really caring about these factors in my teens, despite knowing about my tinnitus. The ringing is a bit louder now, but I'm taking as much precautions as I possibly can now. You might think the tinnitus sounds bad now, but it can still get much worse if you do not take the necessary precautions. Do not ignore caring for your ears, please take care of yourself. You are also still very young so don't let the tinnitus define who you are, and enjoy all that life has to offer. I'm wishing you the best of luck, stay safe!
Roy thank you so much, it means a lot, but I noticed that I don’t necessarily hear a ringing sound, nor a humming. It is just a weird sound but I’m going to see a specialists in about 3 weeks, wish me luck!
Hey Doctor Cliff. I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of a Gaba effected tinnitus? My bf Has Tinnitus badly on one ear, and a little less in the other. It started 2 years ago after he was put on a medication called abilify. Ever since then he has had tinnitus. But whenever he takes a benzo like ativan or klonopin, the tinnitus goes away almost completely. He no longer takes those either and just suffers through it. When he mentions it to a doctor, they say he may be hallucinating it. A hallucination that has been going on continuously for 24 months?!
As Doctor Ben Thompson said, unfortunately the world's governments especially in the U.S where there are over a billion people who suffer from tinnitus but as the doctor and other specialists dedicated to tinnitus said there is no financing, he doesn't even care just because it is not something deadly like cancer in other diseases etc.meanwhile millions of people commit suicide because they cannot lead their normal lives. Because every moment when exposed to the noises of the city and of daily life, he has enough headaches and unbearable acoustic traumas
I recommend that you use a different microphone or have someone edit the sound in your videos as there is a "sh" or buzz sound when your voice is active. But thank you for this video. It contains helpful information. Unfortunately, I have little hope that hearing aids will help my tinnitus because I have a hole in my right eardrum that never healed correctly from when I had tubes in my ears. In that ear I have very loud tinnitus and almost no hearing.
I had hearing aids fitted today. No reduction in tinnitus. My hearing loss is moderate from 3000 Hz to the limit of their test (8K Hz). The hearing aids only emit tones up to 8K. My tinnitus ringing is loud in the 15000 Hz range and 18000 Hz range plus hissing. Anyway, playing a tone or mask in the range of my hearing loss did nothing to reduce the ringing. Just wanted to add my experience. It didn’t help the tinnitus at all. The idea sounds good, play tones in the range of hearing loss…but it didn’t make the tinnitus less. Help please. Mine is horrible
What makes sense is playing tones that match the tinnitus ringing pitch at some type of waveform offset could cancel out the tinnitus ring.. So-the hearing test shows loss in range of 3K and up…but the tinnitus rings at well over 10K. My question is-why would an audiologist office equipment only test up to 8K? Why not be able to test up to twice that range, when human hearing range in 20 Hz -20K Hz ? Anyway..someone credible can answer that.
My results show me I have 4k hearing loss in one side and 1k hearing loss in the other....is that severe???...tinnitus drive me crazy n I have ear pain too on top of that...n my doctor just told me to ignore the sound, like wtf currently searching for another doctor 😑 I'm only 24, I guess I got live like this forever
I just been diagnosed with my tinnitus I realized my tinnitus get worst when I'm stress some days I hear it some days I don't really hope it goes because this is difficult to live with.
Almost all of the major brands. Just depends on which type of tinnitus masker is desired. The key is finding a provider who knows how to assess and treat the tinnitus well.
I got herbal supplements in form of ear drop from dr Ogbebor herbal centre,on RUclips.,,2 drops into both ears 3 times daily after two weeks my tinnitus was gone
Dr, Cliff, I have severe hearing loss in my left ear and moderate loss in my right ear. I cannot afford top quality hearing aids. do you think i might get any tinnitis relief from cheaper hearing aids
Has there been any study done on the 8th thru 12th cranial nerve issues in relation to tinnitus? I'm willing to bet that a lot of tinnitus sufferers may have some form of compression on one or more of these nerves. I'm currently trying to decide between Eargo Neo or Phonak Audeo Marvel M90 for my hearing loss and tinnitus. Your thoughts? What make and model hearing aid do you wear?
Hello Dr.cliff, I am from India and i am 24 now. since I was 12 years old I can not understand exactly what they are speaking especially in the noisy environment.i met many doctors and done many tests but everyone said the same thing that I don't have any issues in my ear, but still I can not clearly understand what others are saying in a noisy situation. I was really depressed because of this... please tell me appropriate solution for my problem
The best thing is to compare your hearing with that of a few friends in the same noisy situation. If you have the same experience then it's not a hearing loss...otherwise if its genuine hearing loss then it should be visible in a hearing test
Well. I experience just the opposite. The tinnitus i had after an accident with head injury ten years ago, that had diminished to the point that it became hardly noticeable with the help of homeopathy became amplified as soon as I started using a hear aid! It became very loud and it continues bothering me for at least a day after removing my hearing aid! Doctor says it is very unusual, but what to do!
I got herbal supplements in form of ear drop from dr Ogbebor herbal centre,on RUclips.,,2 drops into both ears 3 times daily after two weeks my tinnitus was gone
jackerocket I also hear crickets most of the time. But a loud buzz if I wake up during the night. I suspect the meds I take at night may be responsible.
Had it for 2 weeks after a 9mm gunshot noise to the ear. Looks like it burst my middle ear as well,it was swollen. I lost 60db in some frequencys to the right ear and had a loud Eeee sound the entire time. It was so annoying and I wanted to panic cause when people talk loud my ear hurt and I get also a static sound which was freaky and no one knew if it was permanent, but doctor gave me some pills one week after the accident. 14 days later my right ear feel fine and I could hear again but if I cover both my ears the same time i could feel a difference between my hearing still so maybe after a year that little difference will be back to normal but nothing major I'm just happy I dont need hearing aids 😊 hope my story help someone going through what I did wear ear plugs!
Your lucky. I had the same thing happen wearing earplugs and my right ear is screaming loud at 9 months post exposure. Had to give up my career @ 33 years old due to it
Hello! I'm posting here because I looked through all of your videos and I couldn't find anything on the subject. I'm convinced I have APD (Auditory Processing Disorder) where it is sometimes difficult for me to process what people say to me, despite the fact that the last time I went to an audiologist (for this very reason), he told me that my hearing was well above average, and that he didn't think there was anything wrong with my hearing. Whenever there's too much going on around me, it is very difficult for me to understand what people are saying and very young and very old people, or those with foreign accents are difficult for me to understand too. Also, even when I do hear somebody just fine... the phrase "in one ear and out the other" will oftentimes apply. Do audiologists work with/diagnose this, or is this someone else's field of expertise? BTW, this video is very good at demonstrating what people sound like when there's too much going on around me, if I'm not focusing enough on the speaker: ruclips.net/video/Vt4Dfa4fOEY/видео.html
Dhalin hope everything going well, I have same problem with you as English my second language it is difficult to understand people with different accents.
Ive had tinnitus (and hearing loss) for like 30 years and it has finally reached a point where it is preventing me from sleeping. I am not one to take drugs but I am almost ready to, just to help me sleep. But the fact that a hearing aid could minimize tinnitus is awesome news. So for sleepers who need the tinitus gone, I assume that most people will need the aid on while they sleep. Which (to me) means that in inner ear aid will be best because it wont fall off from friction with the pillow - I could be totally wrong in this assumption! Thank you for this wonderful video.
Hello doctor cliff, I tough I had tinnitus because a voluntary noise I could make on my ears but it was not that, I can cause the Voluntary contraction of the tensor tympani muscle, causing a voluntary crackling noise in my ear canal. There's little information online about it. I wanna know if there is any sort of consideration I must take into account. I will really appreciate your help, thanks
i don't know what is happening to my tinnitus but now it feels like my left part of the brain makes the noise rather than the ear itself. Please tell me if it's a tumor or not? cuz now it's getting fucking depressing
I have the same issue and it's most definitely not a tumour. So relax and choose a hearing aid which will mask that ringing sound. I am going for a widex hearing aid with zen musical tones.
A week before by gun fire i have ear sound on left ear which made me so irritate pls recommend some medicine for it i really can't feel wel by this ear noise sound
Can I get a hearing aid with a tinnitus masker without signs of hearing loss? I have extremely intrusive tinnitus and have been having a really hard time masking it and habituating myself. I went to an ENT and it showed I was in a healthy hearing range for someone in their 20s.
Interesting….my hearing is above normal no hearing loss…..ironically it appears I might be better off with mild nearing loss if hearing aids would have a 60 percent chance to help.
I recently got the Audicus Clara (Uticon Moxi Jump minus some features) and chose tinnitus masking as one of my 4 programs. From what I've read it seems like a program I would use to help retrain my brain, but not as a main listening program. Can you offer any insight as to how to best utilize a separate tinnitus masking program? Thank you!
I typically recommend setting the masker at the lowest level possible (that still provides benefit) to run in the background. As long as you have your device amplification programmed to your prescriptive targets, you should be able to hit two birds with one stone. Masking is just one part of a comprehensive tinnitus strategy.
Hello D. I have pulsatile Tinnitus in the right ear in the form of continuous heart-beating and I have hearing loss in both ears (I wear Oticon Opn 1 hearing aids). Please let me know what do you recommend. Thank you very much
God bless everyone who has tinnitus including me

My tinnitus and hearing loss is from the PITS OF HELL. Its makes me wish I had passed away that tragic day. But I am here so I try to be grateful to be alive. 🙏😪
Don’t worry bro we will all get through this together. You’re strong
I have been on the edge of suicide several times because of this and the hearing aids have helped the most. Yes when it is bad it is HELLISH for sure.
Try drinking sparkling ice water
It's has no salt in it. And eat less chocolate and salt
My father has this issue and im so sorry man. It's affected our relationship and the whole house sometimes is stressful
Never give up, never surrender.
I finally got a doctor to take me seriously and refer me to a hearing specialist to help with my tinnitus and hearing loss. I have my first appointment in two weeks and I’m so glad I found your videos so I can learn more about what to expect.
I am praying to God that I am in the 60%...
Same here. God Bless!
Same here too
Were you?
Yeah, were you?
Me too in a few dayd ill find out i guess
i had no idea you had hearing loss. its rare to find a doctor who experiences what he treats
I guess I’m lucky, I’ve had Tinnitus for so long it has just become apart of my being.
I just ignore it and don’t hear it until someone brings the subject up and then it takes 10 or 15 minutes for me to ignore it again. It’s like if I stop and listen I can hear my breathing but I don’t pay any attention to that noise so why pay any attention to the other. There is noise everywhere and we just ignore it also. I just mentally decided to ignore it and I do with great success.
Listen
Well said dear
I am glad you have Mild tinnitus.
Mild tinnitus.
My husband had had tinnitus for 50 years. He too has gotten to the point that he can just ignore it. So it is possible.
I have had tinnitus since 1975, but did not get a masker because they were actually worse than the ringing. Then I got a pair of Audeo B Directs this year. The masker is excellent. It was frequency-tuned and volume adjusted so that I barely notice the masker but the ringing goes away (as long as I have my hearing aids in). I am in hog heaven, now. I can hear and not have ringing. Win-win!
Love to hear that Jarold!
Jarold Williams please more information what is masker? I have tinnitus for past 10 yrs this makes my life difficult. Yes I do hearing aids in this 6 months please more information
Dr cliff it's only you on RUclips who give best information about tinnitus..! Thank youuuu
Totally according to you doctor, well-calibrated hearing aids cure tinnitus, and I say this because when my father had tinnitus he put on his hearing aids and it was reduced by 90%, but the most curious thing is that when he took them off, tinnitus It disappeared for hours and then came back, until one day my father told me that he didn't wear his hearing aids months ago and the tinnitus never came back. I think that relieving tinnitus is easier when you have hearing loss, but it is more problematic when you listen well but you have noise ... in conclusion, generally, better hearing, less tinitus.
Hello, may i ask did you father suffered hearing loss and tinnitus on one ear or both?
I learned more from this video than my several visits to the ENT. I've had Tinnitus for over a year now and hearing test shows hearing loss. I got a hearing aid a week ago and I like the Bluetooth features of my hearing aid. I am making calls and listening to music right from my hearing aid. I like the Starkey app and listen to it really low so it's not loud or annoying. I preferred it over the masker that was consistent and I am able to switch the sounds.
That is great news, happy for you.
I have had hearing loss for about 15 years and I used the Kirkland Costco basic behind the ear hearing aids. They needed to be adjusted a few times early on, but I realized after the first 5 year’s they were no longer helping me.
Fast forward to 2022 and after having Covid I was having Tinitus every evening mostly in one ear and put up with it for one year due to it now being 24/7 and causing depression and anxiety. Some friends of the family suggested a great Audiologist, and I found out my right ear has lost 80% of hearing and my left about 60%
I am 60 years old and don’t want to lose all of my hearing.
I also have headaches and dizziness with fatigue.
My primary Doctor wants me to have an MRI to rule out anything serious. Had to vent a little lol
Dr. Cliff I really have learned so much from your Video’s so please keep making them.
I’m in California and appreciate the time you take to put so much information out there.
TY
I've had aids six years and T for 28 years, aids really do help, but sadly I have reactive tinnitus brought on by overwhelming stress. Don't get stressed, it's toxic and useless.
I have had tinnitus for as long as I can remember but it was so mild that I barely noticed it unless there was dead silence. This past winter my tinnitus has increased dramatically to where I am almost always aware of it especially in my right ear. The ringing isn't so loud that it prevents me from sleeping but sometimes it does get annoying. What's weird is this morning when I woke up I didn't hear it at all. I thought that maybe the tinnitus miraculously went away. Then it was like my brain realized I wasn't hearing anything so the tinnitus returned.
That’s me! In the morning it’s so light.
Has your tinnitus gotten worse since you posted this? I have a similar story where I had it for years but it's gotten way worse the past couple months, where I can hear it over everything. Have you found anything that helps?
@@ianbent0n I'm sorry that your tinnitus has gotten worse recently. My tinnitus is about the same. Over time I have gotten use to it but I still wish I didn't have it. Last summer I was taking Lipo-Flavenoid Plus Ear Health Supplement for a couple of month. Unfortunately it didn't help.
@@nicoleades1122 sorry to tell you you’re not out of the woods majority of Tinnitus suffers on whatever level you’re on at some point through your life it’s going to get extremely worse even if it’s 20 years from now
God Bless you Dr. for your empathy and understanding of this! This video gives people hope based on something that does work for many including myself.
Keep up the good work!
How have you Done it?
22 years old have tinnitus in both ears and I can’t wait to get hearing aids I hope
It works going in next week!!
Bro does it help you now plse replu
Thanks for your honesty. I have dealt with tinnitus for 20 years now but found no solution as of yet.
I always whistle the pitch of my tinnitus for a minute or so and I have done so for the last few years and I'm absolutely experiencing it disappearing completely or almost all the way for that episode. my tinnitus varies in its severity and how long and loud the episodes last for. I get it every day and have found this is useful as a way of helping it. I thought of this as a way of accepting it at first instead of getting upset and that's why I believed it worked but it also seems to work in line with this sound replacement theory. I about to try my first hearing aid. thanks for the video
I started developing hearing loss in my late teens, around 16-18. At first there were no ringing, it was crackling. It started out with my dad being too loud and my ears would crackle like static, or when you plug in your speakers to your TV that popping sound. After graduation it moved to just a somewhat ringing in one ear, then it moved to both ears in my 20's and pretty soon I wasn't able to hear most things that are out of my peripherals (behind me, or off to my side). Most just assume I'm oblivious and not aware of my surroundings but I literally just can't hear them coming up behind me. I've lost count how many times I've completely just backed up into someone in the store, or couldn't hear a car coming up on me crossing the street. I don't think my hearing is *just* Tinnitus anymore.
Oh my god, I know exactly what you mean with the crackling noise!! I have hearing loss related to loud noises, and every time something is pst a certain pitch or if I talk loud enough, my left ear sounds so staticky :(
Hey Cliff,
This has been my first line of real treatment for my new onset tinnitus as a result of acoustic trauma (moderate hearing loss at 4-5K in the right ear). As you pointed out, it makes sense. The brain is creating this signal to compensate for the lost frequencies where those neurons are no longer stimulated. However, why doesn't it work for all tinnitus sufferers?? There is clearly a piece missing to this puzzle.
My audiologist fit me with a pair of ReSound Linx 3D. She did REM's and activated their Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) feature. I've had them about 2 weeks. I honestly cannot say I notice a difference. The TSG feature is too quiet and I need to get her to increase the volume. As it stands now, the amplification and the TSG volume are tied together. If I crank up the volume to hear the TSG, the amplification is too much for me. It's like being Spider Man. I can hear a bug crawl across the floor at 100 yards!
I think the TSG is too limited and not sure why ReSound doesn't just integrate their Relief app features into the Smart 3D app. It's curious to me that they don't do this. Give the end user more flexibility in the sound therapy that they can deliver via their hearing aids. The Relief app is free, so not sure of the business model they are going after on this one. I can go to the Relief app to get more choices, but then I take a hit on battery life because now I am streaming via BT and not staying native to the circuitry of the aids. Stupid.
If this doesn't work (I have a 45 day trial), my thought was to go with Signia's Notch Therapy they have in their hearing aids. The audiologist I see now does not use Signia because there is no local representation, but I think I can probably find someone who will dispense them.
Have you had any success with Signia's notch therapy and tinnitus management in your patient population?
ATB,
Michael
Saw my Audiologist today and found out that I have a severe hearing loss in my left ear and moderate hearing loss in my right ear. With tinnitus.
I would especially encourage any US military veterans with tinnitus to specifically ask their VA health care provider for a hearing evaluation. You might think that's a standard thing but it usually requires a specific request from the patient to get the primary care provider to write a consult to audiology. I'm finding that the great advancement which has been helping my tinnitus is Bluetooth in my hearing aids. I now have so many options available through RUclips videos for the exact background sounds that are pleasing to me and basically mask my tinnitus.
I'm going to pay a little bit closer attention after wearing my hearing aids for a full day to see if I notice my tinnitus even when I'm not playing a background sound
I finally got my ears tested yseterday, my audiogram almost completely matched yours!! Im hoping to get hearing aids in the next few months so hopefully it will help my tinnitis too!

Thank you. I'm new to your channel. I relate my tinnitus to the music ringing G note. I will be wearing hearing aids in three weeks. This weekend I was so nervous about wearing them, I started to cancel my second appointment and forget it. Listening to your channel actually calmed my nerves and understanding that it will be OK.. Thank you and blessings....
What's the result now?please....
I hear the buzzing as soon as I take my tinnitus hearing aids out I also hear and feel my heart beet in my rite ear
So long as doctors can continue to prescribe Prozac, tinnitus will continue to happen. This is only one of its causes. It does not happen to everyone who takes Prozac. It is one of the side effects and I don't remember being told about this. Sleep is hard to find when you have a noise louder than your alarm clock in your head.
People can distract themselves with other things. I knit and crochet and it is good for me, while I concentrate on what I make, I find relief.
The rest of the time, I often find a video lecture I am interested in. This helps. Playing the piano for me is ear therapy. It is also good for my emotions and my soul.
Many drugs have tinnitus as a side effect, if you take medication you should check to see if tinnitus is a side effect.
I suffer from tinnitus and the perception of it comes and goes. It gets worse, the more I think about it and it's definitely related to awareness for me. But i have episodes when it could be really bad for months at a time. In those instances i sleep with a sound machine to mask it. Getting hearing aids soon and I hope it does help with tinnitus too. Hope I'm in the 60%.
God bless you all, who has this horrible issue, be safe and sound, keep busy don't let it get you down 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🍀

Zipperhead3213 Smudge did you get relief?
got hit in the back of the head in a motorcycle crash, gave me screaming tinnitus, and thanks to my new hearing aids, i can barely hear it anymore
Only reduces perception when there is sound to amplify, 2nd Day of 30 day trail and I have more noise makers to cancel out the ringing working in my office, morning coffee, even watching TV. The sound quality is better than digital but not worth the extra devices making noise for everyone where I do not notice the hiss from the digital HAs.
I have a constant double ringing in my ears right is the worst it’s like a little ringing and a high-pitched ringing it’s horrible it’s debilitating at times I go to sleep with it I wake up with that I have to take Clonopin which I think causes it just so I could sleep has your time I have any piece it’s become worse in the last couple of years I hope we find a cure for all of us. Sitting here right now can’t even hear the TV over the ringing. I can’t hear my family anymore. They’re getting annoyed with me because I’m always saying huh 😢
Wow that's kind of wild that an audiology doctor has tinnitus. It must drive him batty!!
He's so smart but he's also humble.

Question i noticed when i push my jaw forward my tinnitus gets louder.. Has anyone tried that.. And if so i wonder if the jaw has anything to do with it..
No way ive been wondering the same woah it’s mad isn’t it
Same. Changes side to side also.
And the sound decreases afterwards too!
Yes same if i push my lower jaw out the tinnitus gets louder and stays at the same frequency until I close it back in
@@barryd7934 i wonder if the jaw is the reason.. Maybe out of line?..
No. I tried masking it with hearing aids. They did not help. In fact my tinnitus gotten worse after six month trial. 😮 I am scheduled for additional tests soon. Surgery might be the next option. It will depend on the test results.
I have had tinnitus for about three months, the noise is easy to deal with sometimes, it goes super quiet for a few hours a day, I've got it through an ear infection, my ear became blocked, I had a few different courses of medicines from antibiotic drops to tablets to ear drops but eventually was given an urgent ENT appointment and had the blockage cleaned out and given the all clear, was told my ear drum has no visible damage, the ear canal and walls were in good shape. I was given a hearing test in the same appointment and was told my left ear (the one with the tinnitus) is slightly weaker than the right but not significant, I was sent home with the all clear (sort of) and told the ringing would stop in time "in time" which is now the default response from my GPs almost every time I go to see them.
What I want to know is: Is the fact that my left ear is weaker than the right (slightly is how the Audiologist described it) be the reason for the ringing (the constant ringing) and if not then what do you think might be the reason. The Doctors/ENT have all said that the noise should go at some point but I'm getting a little ticked off with that same damn response. So in your opinion and from what I've told you, d'you think that there is a chance I could benefit in hearing aid (I know you can't be sure but just a rough guess would help). I should add that I live in the UK and I half believe that COST is whats stopping the Doctors even consider hearing aids (budgets are being cut like a knife through butter at the minute).
So opinion please.
I'll add that before the infection my hearing has never been a problem.
Oh and can fungal ear infection in the worst cases lead to hearing loss of any kind? (Didn't have tinnitus before the infection by the way).
Sounds like your tinnitus is here to stay and treatment would be necessary to reduce or mask the perception of your tinnitus. If it is the lack of sound to your left ear, a hearing aid may help. If it doesn't, you would have to undergo other forms of alternative treatment.
DJV I literally have the same thing as you same ear same everything and it bothers me it’s been a week it’s killing me I can’t handle it anymore I can’t sleep and It gets with school I don’t get on time to class because of loss of sleep or tired in my class I hate tinnitus with everything I don’t want it I’d trade anything for it to go away I’m on the urge to just end it tbh :(
DJV medications were the cause
I’m on a program which is tinnitus desensitisation therapy where I have 2 heating devices one for the day and night in the hope that over time the brain will retrain itself and forget the sound. You must have hope that also over time the brain will get bored.
Did you try the widex zen musical tone hearing aids? They can mask the tinnitus ringing quite effectively.
tinnitus is worse at night and hard to concentrate or study during the day. Is it better to invest in Bose sleepbuds or hearing aid? What's the most affordable hearing aid for mild loss?
I have tinnitus after fireworks exploded too close

This is so frustrating
I have tinnitus for 1 yr.. Initially it us annoying but now i have acepted it.. I m ok wt it..
It keeps getting louder for about 15 years now. Now it almost ovefpowers normal talking of other people.
Thank you for this video. I have suffered with Tinnittus for over a year now. My insurance does not reimburse for hearing aids.

How did it effect you ?
did it work?????
@@TiggyTabbycat Sorry, no. When I went back, the outdated hearing aids she was going to reprogram for tinnitus were $2,500. Since my insurance does not reimburse for them, I could not afford them
Yea I’m 31, and I noticed when I wear my hearing aids my tinnitus is slightly gone.. I’m so use to my tinnitus know. At one point when I first developed it , I was like fuck this’ I’ll end my own life.. Then i was less bothered by it... idk . tinnitus has no affect over my life...although my hearing is done for sure, I can honestly say my sleep is never disturbed due to it..
It's mostly felt during silence at night , but you do get used to it and it can be reduced greatly with hearing aids

How do you receive the right masking hearing aids programmed for your tinnitus? Local doctor
Told
Me there is no cure and that was that.
But if you use these hearing aids how does it impact all the frequencies you normally hear? Does it change these frequencies by filtering them so that all sounds you hear are filtered through a hearing aid????
Tinnitus due to hearing loss is always high pitched or it can be low too ??
I wish it would go away. I’m only 13 and I just want silence again... that’s all I ever want.
I was around the same age when I was diagnosed with tinnitus, I'm in my 20's now. The best advice that I can give you is to mitigate any possible increases to your tinnitus. Use earplugs in noisy environments and avoid using headphones whenever possible, but if you do need to use headphones, make sure you keep the low volume even if you can't hear the music that well. I avoided really caring about these factors in my teens, despite knowing about my tinnitus. The ringing is a bit louder now, but I'm taking as much precautions as I possibly can now. You might think the tinnitus sounds bad now, but it can still get much worse if you do not take the necessary precautions. Do not ignore caring for your ears, please take care of yourself. You are also still very young so don't let the tinnitus define who you are, and enjoy all that life has to offer. I'm wishing you the best of luck, stay safe!
Roy thank you so much, it means a lot, but I noticed that I don’t necessarily hear a ringing sound, nor a humming. It is just a weird sound but I’m going to see a specialists in about 3 weeks, wish me luck!

I have a ruptured eardrum and very loud ringing in the same ear. Will the ringing stop when the eardrum is healed?
Hey Doctor Cliff. I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of a Gaba effected tinnitus? My bf Has Tinnitus badly on one ear, and a little less in the other. It started 2 years ago after he was put on a medication called abilify. Ever since then he has had tinnitus. But whenever he takes a benzo like ativan or klonopin, the tinnitus goes away almost completely. He no longer takes those either and just suffers through it. When he mentions it to a doctor, they say he may be hallucinating it. A hallucination that has been going on continuously for 24 months?!
Heliosvector my tinnitus started after Ive been put on Amitriptyline for 5 months. Stoped the meds 3 years ago,tinnitus is still there
As Doctor Ben Thompson said, unfortunately the world's governments especially in the U.S where there are over a billion people who suffer from tinnitus but as the doctor and other specialists dedicated to tinnitus said there is no financing, he doesn't even care just because it is not something deadly like cancer in other diseases etc.meanwhile millions of people commit suicide because they cannot lead their normal lives. Because every moment when exposed to the noises of the city and of daily life, he has enough headaches and unbearable acoustic traumas
What type of hearing aid do you recommend for Tinnitus please?
I recommend that you use a different microphone or have someone edit the sound in your videos as there is a "sh" or buzz sound when your voice is active. But thank you for this video. It contains helpful information. Unfortunately, I have little hope that hearing aids will help my tinnitus because I have a hole in my right eardrum that never healed correctly from when I had tubes in my ears. In that ear I have very loud tinnitus and almost no hearing.
Doctor, I just replaced the oticon BTE with oticon ITE and noticed my tinnitus has increased. Is the BTE better for controlling it?
I’m in the 40% and that masking noise drove me crazy!!!!! 😖
I had hearing aids fitted today. No reduction in tinnitus. My hearing loss is moderate from 3000 Hz to the limit of their test (8K Hz). The hearing aids only emit tones up to 8K. My tinnitus ringing is loud in the 15000 Hz range and 18000 Hz range plus hissing. Anyway, playing a tone or mask in the range of my hearing loss did nothing to reduce the ringing. Just wanted to add my experience. It didn’t help the tinnitus at all. The idea sounds good, play tones in the range of hearing loss…but it didn’t make the tinnitus less. Help please. Mine is horrible
What makes sense is playing tones that match the tinnitus ringing pitch at some type of waveform offset could cancel out the tinnitus ring.. So-the hearing test shows loss in range of 3K and up…but the tinnitus rings at well over 10K. My question is-why would an audiologist office equipment only test up to 8K? Why not be able to test up to twice that range, when human hearing range in 20 Hz -20K Hz ?
Anyway..someone credible can answer that.
Dr Cliff, do you know if the KS10 have a tinnitus program on already or does Costco not touch this like I’ve heard? Thx
My results show me I have 4k hearing loss in one side and 1k hearing loss in the other....is that severe???...tinnitus drive me crazy n I have ear pain too on top of that...n my doctor just told me to ignore the sound, like wtf currently searching for another doctor 😑
I'm only 24, I guess I got live like this forever
How long would it take for the tinnitus to not be noticeable if you fall into the 60 percent group?
I just been diagnosed with my tinnitus I realized my tinnitus get worst when I'm stress some days I hear it some days I don't really hope it goes because this is difficult to live with.
I am nervous because I might have the same thing
I am going to the doctor on Saturday
What hearing aid has the most robust tinnitus program? For patients who have catastrophic tinnitus on the THI?
Almost all of the major brands. Just depends on which type of tinnitus masker is desired. The key is finding a provider who knows how to assess and treat the tinnitus well.

Dr, Cliff, I have severe hearing loss in my left ear and moderate loss in my right ear. I cannot afford top quality hearing aids. do you think i might get any tinnitis relief from cheaper hearing aids
Has there been any study done on the 8th thru 12th cranial nerve issues in relation to tinnitus?
I'm willing to bet that a lot of tinnitus sufferers may have some form of compression on one or more of these nerves.
I'm currently trying to decide between Eargo Neo or Phonak Audeo Marvel M90 for my hearing loss and tinnitus.
Your thoughts?
What make and model hearing aid do you wear?
i feel tinnitus from last 8 months wat to do plz tell me?????????
Go for a hearing test at your nearest audiologist. Also try the Widex zen therapy in their hearing aids.
Hello Dr.cliff, I am from India and i am 24 now. since I was 12 years old I can not understand exactly what they are speaking especially in the noisy environment.i met many doctors and done many tests but everyone said the same thing that I don't have any issues in my ear, but still I can not clearly understand what others are saying in a noisy situation. I was really depressed because of this... please tell me appropriate solution for my problem
The best thing is to compare your hearing with that of a few friends in the same noisy situation. If you have the same experience then it's not a hearing loss...otherwise if its genuine hearing loss then it should be visible in a hearing test
Well. I experience just the opposite. The tinnitus i had after an accident with head injury ten years ago, that had diminished to the point that it became hardly noticeable with the help of homeopathy became amplified as soon as I started using a hear aid! It became very loud and it continues bothering me for at least a day after removing my hearing aid! Doctor says it is very unusual, but what to do!

TINNITUS i have a head ache..😪
I hear crickets, a whole bunch of crickets. When I try to sleep, I need to have music playing to stop the crickets.
jackerocket I also hear crickets most of the time. But a loud buzz if I wake up during the night. I suspect the meds I take at night may be responsible.
The thing is my audio gram is almost perfect
Had it for 2 weeks after a 9mm gunshot noise to the ear. Looks like it burst my middle ear as well,it was swollen. I lost 60db in some frequencys to the right ear and had a loud Eeee sound the entire time. It was so annoying and I wanted to panic cause when people talk loud my ear hurt and I get also a static sound which was freaky and no one knew if it was permanent, but doctor gave me some pills one week after the accident. 14 days later my right ear feel fine and I could hear again but if I cover both my ears the same time i could feel a difference between my hearing still so maybe after a year that little difference will be back to normal but nothing major I'm just happy I dont need hearing aids 😊 hope my story help someone going through what I did wear ear plugs!
Your lucky. I had the same thing happen wearing earplugs and my right ear is screaming loud at 9 months post exposure. Had to give up my career @ 33 years old due to it
Which is the best hearing aid company for tinnitus
Hello! I'm posting here because I looked through all of your videos and I couldn't find anything on the subject. I'm convinced I have APD (Auditory Processing Disorder) where it is sometimes difficult for me to process what people say to me, despite the fact that the last time I went to an audiologist (for this very reason), he told me that my hearing was well above average, and that he didn't think there was anything wrong with my hearing. Whenever there's too much going on around me, it is very difficult for me to understand what people are saying and very young and very old people, or those with foreign accents are difficult for me to understand too. Also, even when I do hear somebody just fine... the phrase "in one ear and out the other" will oftentimes apply. Do audiologists work with/diagnose this, or is this someone else's field of expertise?
BTW, this video is very good at demonstrating what people sound like when there's too much going on around me, if I'm not focusing enough on the speaker: ruclips.net/video/Vt4Dfa4fOEY/видео.html
Dhalin hope everything going well, I have same problem with you as English my second language it is difficult to understand people with different accents.
Ive had tinnitus (and hearing loss) for like 30 years and it has finally reached a point where it is preventing me from sleeping. I am not one to take drugs but I am almost ready to, just to help me sleep. But the fact that a hearing aid could minimize tinnitus is awesome news. So for sleepers who need the tinitus gone, I assume that most people will need the aid on while they sleep. Which (to me) means that in inner ear aid will be best because it wont fall off from friction with the pillow - I could be totally wrong in this assumption! Thank you for this wonderful video.
You shouldn't sleep in hearing aids. Consider the Bose sleepbuds instead: amzn.to/2TiJPyh

Hello doctor cliff, I tough I had tinnitus because a voluntary noise I could make on my ears but it was not that, I can cause the Voluntary contraction of the tensor tympani muscle, causing a voluntary crackling noise in my ear canal.

That you can stream music

Almost all of them. I think that the Phonak Paradise has the most battery life to allow for the longest streaming time.
A week before by gun fire i have ear sound on left ear which made me so irritate pls recommend some medicine for it i really can't feel wel by this ear noise sound
Can I get a hearing aid with a tinnitus masker without signs of hearing loss? I have extremely intrusive tinnitus and have been having a really hard time masking it and habituating myself. I went to an ENT and it showed I was in a healthy hearing range for someone in their 20s.
hermano. como va tu tinnitus?
Yes, try the Widex zen musical tone masking in their hearing aids. It really reduced the ringing sound in my ears.
Interesting….my hearing is above normal no hearing loss…..ironically it appears I might be better off with mild nearing loss if hearing aids would have a 60 percent chance to help.
Is there no cochlear transplant?
No, there is not.
I recently got the Audicus Clara (Uticon Moxi Jump minus some features) and chose tinnitus masking as one of my 4 programs. From what I've read it seems like a program I would use to help retrain my brain, but not as a main listening program. Can you offer any insight as to how to best utilize a separate tinnitus masking program? Thank you!
I typically recommend setting the masker at the lowest level possible (that still provides benefit) to run in the background. As long as you have your device amplification programmed to your prescriptive targets, you should be able to hit two birds with one stone. Masking is just one part of a comprehensive tinnitus strategy.

Hello D. I have pulsatile Tinnitus in the right ear in the form of continuous heart-beating and I have hearing loss in both ears (I wear Oticon Opn 1 hearing aids). Please let me know what do you recommend. Thank you very much
Not much to recommend when it comes to pulsatile tinnitus.
@@DrCliffAuD Got it. Thank you
i dunno if i hve it although there is ringing it only started 4 days ago no hearing loss though
It is always a good idea to have your hearing evaluated if you have tinnitus. Especially if it is in only one ear.
@@DrCliffAuD Why especially? My tinnitus began on march 28 and I just hear the noise in my left ear. I also don't have any kind of hearing loss.
To what db value are hearing aids able to recover your 65db @1.5khz loss?
