I've had tinnitus for about 12 years now. High-freqquencies hearing loss. I've been using hearing aids for about 4 years... They DO help me with both hearing (of course) and tinnitus.

For example, driving a car without the aids makes my tinnitus really bad (due to the background noise of the car/engine/wind/road). With aids it's a lot less of a problem.

One fear I have is if hearing aids cause even more hearing damage (after all, what they do it inject amplified sound into you ear... the exact same thing that most doctors tell you NOT to do to avoid hearing damage)... Experts tell me they don't, but without any reasonable explanation.
