A fairly large # of people are affected by hearing loss and tinnitus, with me being one of them. There are lots of claims for cures, but many seem to fall under the same realm of things a guy can do to increase his dick size ;-) I'm at an age where I am experimenting with hearing aids.
One thought about tinnitus is that your brain is filling in for sound signals it no longer receives. Not sure if hearing aids actually help, but after a couple of weeks of using hearing aids I can tell you I've noticed little to no improvement with tinnitus. I do find this field fascinating, to say the least. It's generally not that you can't hear someone as much as it is that you can't actually understand what someone is saying. The reason for that is that certain consonants tend to be in the higher frequency ranges that are most affected by hearing loss. Hearing aids can boost the volume of those higher frequency ranges. Another theory is that tinnitus has to do with a change in the neurotransmitter make up in the brain. This suggests that supplements can help, but I remain skeptical. Just curious to see what others have found regarding hearing loss/tinnitus mitigation. For now, the only sure fire impact is through hearing aids (that I'm aware of) when it comes to hearing loss. Anyone else have any different results/comments? FWIW - I had considered putting this under the Senior Swingers forum, but hearing loss/tinnitus is not necessarily just an issue with aging.
