I started wearing hearing aids for tinnitus, apparently at age 71, I can’t understand what people are saying and have to use Closed Captioning on TV. The VA gave me an updated pair of Oticon hearing aids and told me that hearing aids have come a long way since my 2013 hearing aid and I can really tell a difference. Haven’t figured out what triggers my tinnitus, had 2 good days this week, and today the ringing is loud again. I also was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force, 20.5 years, that may have a lot to do with my hearing loss, although the doctor told me my hearing loss is progressing normally and not to be worried.
