I had really bad Tinnitus for years. Then I took a hearing test. Doc concluded that I needed a hearing aid. Then I got the Lyric hearing aid which sits deep inside your ear canal 24/7 and it immediately did not only fix my hearing but also my tinnitus.
Its an analoge but digitally programmable hearing aid which needs to be replaced every 3-4 months or so.
- beefman 2y agoDoes your tinnitus return when you're not wearing the Lyric devices (or when they're turned off, if that's possible)?
- umpalumpaaa 2y agoIt returns when I turn them off. But this happens only for like 5 minutes every 3-4 months or so (ideally).
- lalalandland 2y agoI think I suffer from this. My theory: There are muscles in the ear canal that try to modulate the sound and those muscles tense up and cause issues. I also have sore muscles that get a lot better from use of magnesium supplements and the tinnitus also get slightly better from this use. (It get a lot worse if I stop taking it)
- tartrate 2y agohow quickly does magnesium work, and how quickly does it get worse if you don't take it?
- lalalandland 2y agoAbout a week both to start working and weening off
- umpalumpaaa 2y agoThe theory of my ENT is that the brain tries to make up noises when certain frequencies are not properly "used" because your hearing is bad. My hearing in the higher frequency spectrum is really bad – thus I hear high pitches sounds (tinnitus) when I am not wearing that hearing aid. I think it is pretty common that tinnitus gets better with any kind of hearing aid however some devices & hearing loss combinations tend to be more successful
