I know...kind of a long shot but I thought someone here might have had some experience with these....

I've been suffering from Tinnitus in my right ear for a long time...45+ years but in the last 6 months or so the "volume" has gone from a 0.5 to a 3 at times (roughly@7000 HZ)....driving me crazy!

Some history: I've been pretty much deaf in my right ear since early childhood and it now seems that that ear is "fighting back" at me..like it's wanting to be "heard" after all this time...lol!

I've had two bouts of surgery to repair the ear drum (@4 and 18 years of age) but no success in improving my hearing.

I know that my hearing loss is a conductive type hearing loss (my ear drum is heavily scarred = tympanosclerosis) so I'd probably be helped by an aid but since my left one is fine, I've put up with this for 50+ years...but now, this is really annoying me!!

So has anyone tried a hearing aid to specifically address Tinnitus?

I've searched here on PPOT but nothing specific has been found regarding this topic.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Any Ear-Nose-Throat guys/gals on board??
