Hearing

Posting here as the RVing with disabilities forum seem to get few posts. I am aware that some of you may respond with something like "this forum is not the place to get medical advise":)

So here goes: I have tinnitus and hearing loss. I wear hearing aids that are several years old. I absolutely hate the back ground music on TV programs and it drowns out the voices. Because of that I can not hear or understand much of what is being said. So frustrating and turning up the hearing aid or TV volume does little to help.

Question for those who wear aids and have the same or similar problems. Have any of you come across a way or technology to reduce the back ground music? My aids do not have Bluetooth although I will soon be seeing an Audiologist and will ask that question. I can hear and understand live broadcasts better but of course they almost never have background music.
  • I have Tinnitus and some hearing loss as well.

    I use these, not cheap, but you will never be sorry.

    You could also get bluetooth headphones, but they are not as
    good as true wireless, and don't have the range.

    Hope this helps
  • find a Signia dealer in your area. Cannot stop it down but they can adjust the response to certain frequencies that will not be as severe. I have aids and my problem is crowd noise. They helped, but still confusing. Mine are adjustable via Blue Tooth on my cell phone and they will allow me to focus on the front sides or rear. Helps, but still a pain in the . . . ear!
