Hearing aids and tinnitus

Hearing aids are a major management option for people who have tinnitus together with hearing loss.

Why amplification can matter

Amplifying external sounds can improve communication and make tinnitus less dominant in the soundscape. Some devices also include optional sound-generation features.

Get hearing tested

A hearing test can identify the pattern and degree of hearing loss and help determine whether amplification is appropriate.

Not a universal tinnitus treatment

Hearing aids are not the right intervention for every person with tinnitus, particularly when hearing is normal. Individual assessment matters.
