If you have tinnitus — a buzzing, droning or ringing sound in your ears — you know how frustrating and disruptive it can be.  

The good news is hearing aids can help. In fact, 86.7% of people found some relief with hearing aids, according to one study, co-authored by our own Director of Audiology Research, Harvey Abrams, Ph.D.   

We advise all customers to wear the hearing aids they received for two weeks before we make adjustments. It takes time for your ears and brain to acclimate to hearing aids.   

How hearing aids can help

From conversations to music to the leaves rustling, hearing aids amplify sounds in the world, giving your ears and brain more auditory stimuli to react to. Hearing aids can alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus by distracting your ears and brain from the silence of hearing loss.   

How we can help 

For customers with access to audiology services* from our Audiology Team, we can:

• talk at the Orientation about specific tips, tricks and strategies for relieving tinnitus including access to sound generator apps. That, plus our own expertise, tools and proprietary software, have helped thousands of customers.  
• We offer counseling for tinnitus to customers who disclosed their tinnitus in their hearing health questionnaire. This is the hearing health form you filled out prior to your video Orientation. 
• We can guide you through the Resound Relief app, which is more than just a sound generator. It’s a full tinnitus support app.    
• We can also recommend sound generators, such as white noise machines. They can be enormously useful for people with tinnitus.  

If your tinnitus symptoms are extreme, and you’d be better suited for a different treatment option, we’ll discuss those options with you.   

Note: There are many different causes of tinnitus and some of these causes are not related to hearing loss. If this is the case for you, hearing aids might not be the answer. While we cannot guarantee that our hearing aids will solve tinnitus, we have thousands of customers who report relief from their tinnitus after working with us.
