Hello. Why are hearing aids useful for tinnitus? Many tinnitus sufferers report that they feel a loud tinnitus in a quiet environment, especially late at night, so tinnitus sufferers often complain that the tinnitus is so loud that they can't sleep. But in a noisy environment, tinnitus sufferers mostly do not notice the tinnitus and feel as if the tinnitus has "disappeared". In fact, in a noisy environment, tinnitus still exists, but it is masked by the natural noises of the outside world. The ability of hearing aids to reduce tinnitus symptoms is based on a similar principle. By amplifying external sounds, they partially or completely mask the tinnitus, thus relieving it. When the patient hears ambient sounds that are higher than his hearing threshold, his nervous system's ability to discriminate between tinnitus and ambient sounds gradually decreases to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Hearing aid treatment for tinnitus approximates a form of tinnitus masking therapy. Tinnitus masking therapy is now more popular sound treatment method, is the use of tinnitus frequency and tinnitus close to the narrow band noise to mask the tinnitus, in order to achieve the purpose of therapeutic rehabilitation.
To make the masking sound stimulus play an ideal masking role, it must be loud enough, and the hearing aid is based on the hearing loss of the patient's hearing loss for targeted amplification, loud enough to mask the tinnitus, to achieve the effect of improving tinnitus.
