Tinnitus matching features on hearing aids?

Tinnitus is one of the most common conditions that people experience- and approximately one in ten UK adults will have persistent tinnitus. This is mostly associated with hearing loss. If your tinnitus is concerning you, you should talk to your GP. If you suspect the tinnitus is part of a hearing problem, we can check if you have a hearing loss; or if your tinnitus is linked to a change in your hearing levels.
Most tinnitus associated with hearing loss will be successfully masked or
disguised by treating the hearing loss. Put simply, the extra sound introduced distracts the wearer from the tinnitus sound.
If this is not the case, it is interesting that most modern hearing aids now have a tinnitus program that we can introduce. That means- if you do have concerns about your tinnitus, we can talk to you about‘ tinnitus matching’- you can get in touch with us. We may be able to help you.
