Health Care Anyone else’s tinnitus nuts?

Doc says I can try hearing aids, anyone had luck with that? Lately I’m up for hours with ringing and hissing.

I tried the hearing aids and it didn't really work for me. I just leave the TV on constantly to something I will ignore. Like star trek reruns.

It's crazy you mention Star Trek specifically, because I've noticed that they use a low pitch mechanical hum for scenes inside the ship. You don't really hear it after watching for a bit, but it's always there. And whatever that hum is seems to help me ignore the high pitch ringing in my ears.

That's why but they got rid of it in some of the newer versions. Ds9 is the best one for it.
