Help with tinnitus?

Many antibiotics can also cause it.

I never bought a hearing aide. My hearing loss was so progressive over a period of a couple of years that I figured that it didn't pay to waste the money. I still have not bought one for the left ear as I do not know how fast this loss could progress. The loss has sstabilized for now and my loss is more so at certain sound levels. I also have problems when people mumble. I plan to buy a product that I can wear on my clothes or put in a pocket and turn on and off as I desire. The problem with hearing aides is they also make the screechy sounds louder.

As a nurse I I know that so many people buy hearing aides and they will sit in the box as people don't like how they work. My mother had 2 hearing aides that sat in a box and my brother in law also doesn't wear his much. Some of the new hearing aides are so small and can go into the ear, but my ears are so dry and sore inside that I would not be able to stand this. My observations.

I have also learned since being deaf that many people mumble and don't hardly open their mouth to pronounce words. I have also come to the conclusion that a lot of what is being said isn't always necessary. My immunologist doesn't want me to lose my good ear and neither do I but if the solu Medrol treatment is all their is I don't know how much of this my body can take. I told my doc that at my age I am happy that it is my hearing that I am losing and not my sight. Irish

Just wanted to drop in and let readers know the Costco hearing aides can be adjusted so screechy sounds are not too loud. After getting them, the audiologist had me wear them for a few weeks and then come back to report if any noises in particular were bothering me as either too loud or not loud enough. I found that food wrappers, ice clinking and toilet flushing were really annoyingly loud. The audiologist was able to quickly adjust that so it is no longer a problem.

The audiologist noticed I wasn't wearing them as often as I should have been and when I told her it was because they made my ears itch, she gave me Comfort Ear moisturizer for free to try.

Also, the hearing aides can be programmed for different settings such as general, television, noise/party/restaurant, outdoor/traffic and other scenarios. The user can change settings and volume by pushing buttons on the hearing aide or using an app on a cell phone. This is all with the Costco premium set which is the lowest price they offer. The other brands do not have as many features and are more expensive. They can be returned for full refund within 180 days of purchase, have warranty and each can be replaced once for free if lost or broken.

* I do not work for Costco. I'm just super happy with my purchase.    I'd be happier, though, if I didn't have tinnitus.

google "tinnitus finger drumming technique"
I saw this weird thing on Facebook and someone swore by it. Said it cured their tinnitus.
This was awhile ago.
If I find a link or something I'll post it.
Anyway, I explained it to my husband who has had moderate to bad tinnitus for over twenty years.
He did it and got the shock of his life...as he said it dramatically improved his tinnitus.
It involved sort of a weird thumping on his head with his fingers...I can't recall it was several months ago. It is now a very minor problem...ever since he did this weird thing.

If it is legal and free most anything is worth a try. Glad your hubby had some help. Irish
