Hearing Aids for Tinnitus

Some studies have strongly suggested that hearing aids do help to reduce the effect of tinnitus and help to improve the quality of life for a significant number of people. A pair of hearing aids have been shown to give greater benefit than only using one hearing aid.

Some hearing aids can also include a Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG). The feature provides extra low level sounds that is aimed to try to help the habituation process. This is in addition to the usual amplifying of sounds that hearing aids are designed for. With TSG, people with tinnitus can get used to the tinnitus sound they experience and begin to tune the sound out of their constant awareness.
