Many people develop tinnitus as a symptom of hearing loss. It is estimated that 90% of people with tinnitus have hearing loss. Some of the most common causes of hearing loss and tinnitus include age and noise exposure.
How can hearing aids help with tinnitus?
People with hearing loss and tinnitus often report relief from the use of hearing aids. Hearing aids work by amplifying external surrounding sounds, resulting in the reduction of an individual’s perception of tinnitus. Overtime, the tinnitus becomes less intrusive and less bothersome.
How do I know if hearing aids are a suitable treatment option for me?
Your initial assessment will determine if hearing aids are a suitable treatment option for you or if another treatment is recommended.
