Has anyone had and experience using hearing aids to deal with tinnitus? I've got some small hearing loss in the high frequencies and I'm looking at getting fitted for hearing aids to help boost those frequencies. The hope is to train my brain to stop replacing the deficit of sound with the monotone tinnitus noise.

I've tried some OTC hearing aids (Sony & Sennheiser) but its been hit or miss. I'm going to try whatever the hearing aid tech at my ENT proscribes.

My hearing aids provide some relief for my tinnitus when I'm wearing them.

I do not.

But I found a great comment on HN recently about Tinnitus. Was quite helpful for me.

I have mild tinnitus, and I don’t really notice it at all when my hearing aids are in. (Phillips, got them at Costco) Sadly, it’s a lot more noticeable once I take them out. I am still waiting for that electrostimulation therapy I read about a few years ago to pan out.

		Same. When in I don’t notice it much but do when not wearing them.
