Even hearing aids that offer Tin. reduction are horrid.

My hearing was surgery damage. Inner Ear Perfusion for Meniere’s, Low Freq. but the Tin has been there for a long time, I have Meniere’s and that maybe part of it.

Hubby has High Freq Flight Deck hearing loss 20 yrs working the Flight Deck when at sea. VA covers his hearing aids. He turned down the Tin cancelling ones, the hiss white noise was so bad. Same for me.

I've had the white noise aids for three years now and they're a Godsend.
I don't need them everyday, but when I do use them, they really help dealing with the damned hissing.

Had an elderly man as a patient in a nursing home decades ago. Nice old guy, quiet, cooperative, with some slight confusion,and very hard of hearing. His wife would come and take him to church every Sunday, and bring him back in the evening. One time, she brought him back, and reported he had become unmanageable, very confused, belligerent, all of which was completely out of character for him. I was called to his room by an aide, and found him straddling his overbed table, (The table that you can place across the bed to eat, while in bed) whooping and acting like a mad man. While checking him over and getting him ready for bed, I removed his hearing aids, and they were turned up full blast, and ringing extremely loudly. Apparently, they had been ringing like that the entire day. He was never normal again. I am convinced that loud, constant ringing in his ears that day, pushed him over the edge.
