Tinnitus can be a real nightmare for many people that have to deal with it every day. About ten percent of the US population suffers from it and out of that number, almost 27 percent are people aged 65 to 84. Studies have found that a hearing aid can stop the symptoms of tinnitus and make the life of those people much more manageable.
A hearing aid amplifies background sounds which means that the loudness or the predominance of tinnitus is reduced significantly. While the ringing might still be there, having other sounds to focus on can be a real relief for many people.
