How does that work? Would love to know!
I’d like to know, too. My tinnitus developed a couple years ago, decades after my service, but vet friends told me it’s not uncommon. I spent a lot of time around jet engines, and I also spent a lot of time in the turret of a LAV with high frequency turret hydraulic noise, and a big chaingun going off next to my right ear. Docs could measure only a very slight hearing loss though, and nothing could be found on exams. Even got a MRI on my skull, I’m clear. How would hearing aids potentially help?
Each portion of your inner ear is tuned to a certain frequency. When it becomes damaged and receives no input the natural noise gets amplified. This tinnitus. When the hearing aid amplifies a real signal of that frequency the ear’s amp has some input and it overpowers the natural noise. (So the doctor said.). I imagine the hearing aid needs to amplify where your specific frequency is lacking.
