What role do hearing aids play when experiencing tinnitus?
Hearing aids are the number one tool for tinnitus relief. This is because tinnitus is most often a major symptom of hearing loss. When you have hearing loss, making sounds audible again through amplification can cover up the sounds of tinnitus and over time retrain your ears to function more naturally again. Most hearing aids mask tinnitus symptoms by blending them with existing background noise.
Widex is a prime leader in tinnitus management. Widex differentiates between hearing loss and tinnitus. It recognizes the influence of each on the person and therefore creates hearing aids that accommodate all group ages.
The Widex Zen Therapy is a tinnitus management app which brings comforting sounds that help the patient avoid silence and the brain focus on sounds other than his tinnitus. It has masking features that play amplified tones or natural sounds directly to the ear, thus reducing the impact of tinnitus. It can be also used for meditation and relaxation. It is available in most Widex quality hearing aids.
Each hearing aid has a unique approach and style to suit individual levels. Have a glimpse at the best hearing aids available:
