Tinnitus Resources
In the largest study of its kind, the Better Hearing Institute surveyed 46,000 households in America with individuals who suffer from tinnitus. Nearly 2 out of 3 respondents who reported moderate-to-significant reduction in their tinnitus with hearing aids reported that hearing aids relieved their tinnitus most of the time to all of the time.
