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 .
