Can I have the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment even if I use a hearing aid?
Yes. It is possible to use the Neuromonics device independently of your hearing aid during quiet times, for example, when you are reading or trying to sleep. Your clinician will be able to work out the most appropriate timing with you. You may have an improved ability to use your hearing aid after completing the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment, as your loudness sensitivity is likely to improve. Please note that hearing aids are designed to amplify sound that may improve specific kinds of hearing loss. Because hearing aids amplify sound, the amplification may mask tinnitus; however, the masking is not a long-term improvement for tinnitus disturbance. If the tinnitus can be addressed and improved, a new hearing evaluation is recommended to understand if there is a hearing loss that should be treated with hearing aids.
