Some people really suffer from their symptoms, experiencing stress, sleep problems, irritability and even difficulties with their mental health as a result \u2014 and unfortunately, a significant majority of people with tinnitus have hearing loss beyond the normal range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there is currently no scientifically validated &#8216;cure&#8217; for tinnitus, not all hope is lost. There\u2019s plenty of evidence to suggest hearing aids can help relieve this life-changing condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Can_I_Trust_What_I_Read_Online\">How Can I Trust What I Read Online?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re looking for medical information online, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish fact from convenient fiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a whole heap of competing websites that give out guidance, and many of them tend to use easy-access information posted on other, similar websites when writing their content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately for readers, this can sometimes produce an effect where the scientific studies that online medical claims are based on are repeatedly watered down until they bear only a passing resemblance to the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, we aim to present an accessible overview of three scientific studies into treating tinnitus with hearing aids, as well as links for those looking to do their own research. Hopefully, this will let you form your own conclusions and make a decision about your personal healthcare needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_the_Science_Says\">What the Science Says:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span id=\"Study_1_The_Efficacy_of_Hearing_Aids_for_Emotional_and_Auditory_Tinnitus_Issues\">Study 1: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinnitusjournal.com\/articles\/the-efficacy-of-hearing-aids-for-emotional-and-auditory-tinnitus-issues.html\">\u201cThe Efficacy of Hearing Aids for Emotional and Auditory Tinnitus Issues\u201d<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This study was conducted by a Brazilian university, UTP, and published by the International Tinnitus Journal in 2016. Scientists investigated how hearing aid use could help with participants\u2019 auditory and emotional issues. Tinnitus is well-known to cause frustration, sleep issues, concentration difficulties and malaise, so these areas are good targets for research.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Method\">Method<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The method involved 17 participants, all with tinnitus of varying severity and cause, filling out two medical questionnaires \u2013 the Iowa Tinnitus Activities Questionnaire and the Iowa Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire, first before and then three months after being fitted with hearing aids. Of these 17, 13 were female and four were male. The average age was 57 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usefully, both questionnaires worked by rating the severity of the disturbance tinnitus causes out of 100, allowing for accuracy above and beyond that of ten-point scales or similar. The two questionnaires measured disturbances to participants\u2019 social, emotional and behavioural wellbeing, hearing, sleep quality and concentration between them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results were then analysed statistically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Findings\">Findings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the fitting of hearing aids, the participants reported that their tinnitus disturbed their concentration by a mean average of 37%, emotional wellbeing by 35% and hearing by 41%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After hearing aids were fitted, participants gave lower values in all three areas: an average disturbance of 23% for concentration, 26% for emotional wellbeing and 25% for hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team of scientists\u2019 statistical analysis of these results led them to state that the experiment demonstrated a \u201csignificant\u201d improvement from the use of hearing aids to treat tinnitus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scientists concluded that \u201canalysis of the results evidences that the use of hearing aids promotes the improvement in the quality of life of patients with tinnitus, ultimately in emotional and auditory aspects.\u201d Bear in mind, however, that this was a very small study, so might not be indicative of the population at large.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Study_2_Hearing_Aids_and_Tinnitus_Therapy_a_25-year_Experience\">Study 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18353195\/\">\u201cHearing Aids and Tinnitus Therapy: a 25-year Experience\u201d<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From South America to Australia, and from 17 participants to 1440 \u2014 this experiment was conducted over a quarter of a century by practising otolaryngology physicians in the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, then published in 2008 by the Journal of\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laryngology &amp; Otology.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Method-2\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between 1980 and 2004, patients attending a tinnitus clinic with hearing loss, again of mixed cause and severity, were assessed on their \u201ctinnitus perception improvement\u201d by asking them to rate their symptoms before and after being fitted with hearing aids. Patients had both <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\/what-is-one-ear-hearing-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one-and-two-sided hearing loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The experiment switched from using analog to digital hearing aids when they became widely available in 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Findings-2\">Findings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respectively 67% and 69% of patients with unilateral and bilateral hearing loss reported \u201csome improvement\u201d in their tinnitus perception once they were fitted with hearing aids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, there was a \u201cstatistically significant\u201d improvement once patients began to receive <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">digital <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rather than analog hearing aids at the turn of the millennium \u2014 which will certainly be of interest if you\u2019re choosing between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Conclusion-2\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investigation concluded that the \u201cprovision of hearing aids in patients with audiometrically demonstrable hearing loss can play a very important part in tinnitus control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Study_3_Tinnitus_Treatment_and_the_Effectiveness_of_Hearing_Aids\">Study 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingreview.com\/practice-building\/practice-management\/tinnitus-treatment-and-the-effectiveness-of-hearing-aids-hearing-care-professional-perceptions\">\u201cTinnitus Treatment and the Effectiveness of Hearing Aids\u201d<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we head to the USA and to a joint study between two American physicians. This study surveyed working professionals and specialists working in the auditory field rather than directly dealing with patients. This method allowed a significant sample size and drew usefully on existing expertise nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This paper is notable for its sympathetic and detailed introduction describing the life-changing problems encountered by tinnitus sufferers, which by some estimates make up 10-15% of the U.S. population. It also notes how many people never see the doctor about their hearing problems, whether because of the cost or due to the widespread perception that tinnitus isn\u2019t treatable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The authors are adamant that it is, and certainly have the numbers on their side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Method-3\">Method<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2008, 230 professionals responded to an online survey across 44 U.S. states and Canadian provinces. They were working in private practice, hospitals, universities, and the military.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Findings-3\">Findings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The survey found that roughly 60% of patients report some relief from their tinnitus symptoms when treated with hearing aids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoomed in, that\u2019s 16.6% reporting minor relief, 21.4% reporting moderate relief and 22.1% reporting major relief. Only very few people reported that hearing aids worsened their tinnitus (1.7%), while 39% of patients could care less either way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, the respondents felt that 20% of their patients weren\u2019t being served by any \u201cexisting treatment modalities\u201d at the current time, which shows there\u2019s still plenty of research to be done in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Conclusion-3\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The authors state with dismay that there are nine million people in the U.S. who haven\u2019t sought treatment for tinnitus-accompanied hearing loss, despite it being commonly treatable. Otherwise, they conclude that \u201cin addition to improving communication, hearing aids can also help tinnitus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Takeaway_Points\">Takeaway Points<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three studies from around the world, with a variety of sample sizes and methodologies, found promising <\/span><b>statistically significant improvements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in tinnitus perception when sufferers were treated with hearing aids.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large number of people (certainly in the U.S.) don\u2019t seek treatment for tinnitus or hearing loss, despite the multiple treatments available. However, more research would be welcome for the fifth of sufferers whose physicians report a lack of options.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people that could benefit from the use of hearing aids wait years before they access treatment \u2014 don\u2019t hesitate to ask a medical professional if they could help you. Of course, tinnitus should be treated on a case by case basis, and your doctor will be able to advise on appropriate treatment options for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn more about tinnitus and hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>The information in this guide has been written using the following reliable sources:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinnitusjournal.com\/articles\/the-efficacy-of-hearing-aids-for-emotional-and-auditory-tinnitus-issues.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.tinnitusjournal.com\/articles\/the-efficacy-of-hearing-aids-for-emotional-and-auditory-tinnitus-issues.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingreview.com\/practice-building\/practice-management\/tinnitus-treatment-and-the-effectiveness-of-hearing-aids-hearing-care-professional-perceptions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.hearingreview.com\/practice-building\/practice-management\/tinnitus-treatment-and-the-effectiveness-of-hearing-aids-hearing-care-professional-perceptions<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinnitus.org.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.tinnitus.org.uk\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18353195\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18353195\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalberkshire.nhs.uk\/patient-information-leaflets\/audiology%20paediatric%20unilateral%20hearing%20loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.royalberkshire.nhs.uk\/patient-information-leaflets\/audiology%20paediatric%20unilateral%20hearing%20loss<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--><\/style>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;If you've ever wondered \\&quot;Can hearing aids help tinnitus?\\&quot; then read on!
