She said hearing aids would not help me.
Yes they would. I too have tinnitus (3 years Marine Corps artillery), and went to the VA for help. They provided me with (free) hearing aids that produce white noise, that masks the tinnitus.
Some days my T is not too bad and I can get along without the aids. Other days when it's louder I'll wear one, maybe both, and that helps.
The aids can be expensive ... some go for as much as $5000-$6000 per pair ... but they're worth it in my opinion.

I was reading your reply listening to the ringing in my ears. I fetched my aids from the bedroom and damn if the ringing was almost gone. VA didn’t tell me about that or I just forgot but they sure do help.

I’ll look into those. Thanks! I wouldn’t get implants without a second or third opinion.
