Hearing aids have been an amazing product that has helped many with hearing loss. Many, including our owner, Tod Wright, have found that they also help reduce tinnitus symptoms. There are a few reasons why they do and we would like to share them with you.
Restore hearing that has been missing
Hearing loss basically makes things seem chaotic within your ears. Your brain will assume that it’s sound though. Since hearing aids restore some of the stimulation that has been missing, they can help manage those tinnitus sounds.
Restore background noise
By restoring subtle environmental background noises, hearing aids contrast in the brain to the tinnitus by increasing those in the background that you may be missing.
Reduce stress
Hearing loss can be just as stressful as work, money, relationships, or any other daily stress inducing element. Wearing hearing aids can help to alleviate stress that comes with hearing loss. You don’t have to put as much effort into doing things because you’re hearing better. Simple tasks, like ordering lunch at a restaurant or doing a transaction at the bank no longer feel like a maze of questions to navigate.
