A patient commonly won't notice that they have a hearing loss, as they are often more concerned about their tinnitus, and the loss may not be affecting their overall hearing yet.
Simply amplifying the part of the hearing that's missing is usually enough for the brain to no longer notice the tinnitus. 4 out of 5 patients will find success this way if they have both
tinnitus and hearing loss, no matter how minor the hearing loss might be. The severity of the tinnitus is not related to the severity of the hearing loss. Reduction in tinnitus is more effective
with a device in each ear, even if the tinnitus is in only one, so don't be surprised if you are sent away to try two.
Trials are important when it comes to treating tinnitus, as 1 out of 5 patients will not find any significant benefit. Book your tinnitus assessment today and find out if we can help you.
