Thank you for sharing! So so happy for you

Not much on tinnitus and how difficult it makes the hearing test - so thank you for covering this! I had private and NHS tests last year. One audiologist even got frustrated with me because I wasn't clear on what I could hear and what I couldn't in the test... so its certainly not fully understood even between professionals. Glad you love the hearing aids, mine have changed my life. Although watch out for stares when you take phone calls on them... as people look for an airpod and can't see anything, you just look like a crazy person talking to yourself... lol

I press the button for fun 😂

I am getting my hearing aids today. Long time tinnitus sufferer. Looking forward to it. Love this channel!!!

Best of luck for your appointment and many thanks for your kind words!!! Do update with how you get on. Remember it takes a while to adjust so give them time!🎉😊

Intersting. Haven't done measuring the in-ear response. But there is a calibration done where the hearing aid plays noise and uses its mics to measure feedback leak. Good luck with your hearing aid journey.

I just love your videos Caris - thank you for making us feel less alone with our tinnitus and hearing loss. I just got my hearing aids that are also tinnitus maskers so they play sounds as well. I am working with Treble Health - an online audiology group that specializes in tinnitus. The goal, and program, is to eventually fully habituate and no longer hear my tinnitus, or hear it much less. Hoping for the best. I didn't realize how bad my hearing loss really was. It is in the high frequencies, but pretty significant. I never really noticed it that much before. But now that I have my hearing aids I realize how much better I hear!!!! I hate that I have lost hearing, but love my hearing aids.

@@LetsTalkTinnitus that's great, and I have heard of people saying that the longer they wear them, your brain may eventually adapt to being able to hear those frequencies you couldn't hear for so long, and the tinnitus can actually if not completely but almost fade away.🙂👍🏻

i think i am going to get hearing aids, i have had tinnitus for years now, i have adjusted to it, but sometimes it is annoying, my hearing is shot on high freq noise. glad you got them and doing good with them. are they helping your tinnitus ?

Also do you have to wear them at all times or at least 9hrs minimal a day?. I did get to sample a pair when I had my appointment. My hearing had imrpoved but also had white noise, with. something to get use to..

Hi!! This is such an insightful video thank you for documenting it, Im from the uk and also have tinnitus and a bit of hearing loss, have had this since I was about 15, am 27 now. Every time I go to the docs they send me for a hearing test, but like you said, I can’t actually hear the difference between the beeps and the tinnitus. The worst thing I find with my tin/hearing loss is the fact that I can’t understand anyone in a busy public place, makes nights out very hard!🤣 Is this something you’ve dealt with and if you have, has the hearing aids made a difference? Hope you get on well with them!

Hey thank you so much for the comment and I’m ever so glad you found it insightful! In regards to your question - yes, yes, yes and yes. I relate to that so much. I love social situations but my tinnitus/ hearing loss always makes me say “what” about 20 times in a conversation. OR I have to smile and move the conversation along because I couldn’t catch something after 1 too many times of not understanding😅 The hearing aids are helping a lot so far. Went out to a busy coffee shop with my friend and although it was a lot for my ears to take in at first, it was certainly better than without them! Hoping I get used to them more and more as time goes on. I will update!☺️

Hey! They are the ‘Starkey’ hearings aids. Not sure which model. Brilliant though🙌

I lose my hearing more than 60 percent. Now some days ago I purchased phonak hearing aids that too much costly in my country. Im middle class boy. I purchased hearing aid with my 2 years saving. But unfortunately still i listen all voice but can’t understand clearly. I feel too much noise and headache

Hey, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm truly sorry to hear that you're having difficulties with your new hearing aids, especially after saving for so long to purchase them. Sometimes, it takes a bit of time and adjustment to get used to new hearing aids. Have you been able to follow up with your audiologist for adjustments or advice? They might be able to fine-tune the settings to better suit your needs and reduce the noise and headaches☺️

Hi! The hearing aids are working amazingly at the moment. I often missed out the middle ground in conversation which made socialising difficult. The hearing aids have really helped me get me life back in that aspect. In regards to my tinnitus, I certainly have more distractions in terms of what else I can hear despite the tinnitus. I didn’t get the hearing aids specifically for the tinnitus but more for the hearing loss. The Bluetooth feature is certainly put to good use with white noise though!

Hi Caris, i have just developed Tinnitus just before New Years eve, after having a microsunction procedure. So I saw the audiologist yesterday and he told me that it looked like I had some hearing loss and what he suggested was I should go for hearing aids but they're so expensive $5000, $7500 $10,000. Do you support with having hearing aids or i'm guess sound therapy, is it really worth the money?

The hearing test was extremely hard especially the high pitch tones. I got the audiologist telling me a few times, to stop and consentrate on the beeps and not the tinnitus, and I was beeping afew times to the tinnitus lol.

It’s early days for my life with hearing aids at the moment but so far so good. My biggest problem was sitting in lecture halls and not being able to hear anything. I can now sit comfortably with my hearing aids! I’d say, if your quality of life has been impacted by hearing loss they are definitely the way to go!

How did you develop your issues? Noise? Medication ??

If she's in the U.K. , I'm pretty sure they're free. The cost of prescription hearing aids in U.S.A, is so high, that even with well programmed hearing aids, the stress of paying for them would only EXACERBATE your tinnitus! 😬

I think your earings are not needed where you have to use hearing aids. I dont know if you realized that.
