I'm struggling with this. I know I probably really do need them, but I hate the thought of them. I have worn glasses since I was like 13 so I'm comfortable with those, but wearing glasses AND hearing aids before I'm 50 seems so ****ing pathetic.
And I'm really sorry to hear it didn't help your tinnitus, or at least not much. Ugh... Awful.

They've helped me a ton. Especially watching TV, movies at the theater, normal conversations, etc. I still have a little trouble hearing conversations where there is a lot of background noise but I can tell an improvement. And very comfortable too. When I first got them, NOBODY knew I was wearing them unless I pointed it out to them.
They ain't cheap though.
The nice thing is that I am on my second set and this time my medical insurance paid 80% of the cost. That wasn't the case with my first set.
