I have had other pressing medical problems, and have had put this hearing thing on the back burner, but now I will discuss it with the doctor.
I have read up on the internet about this type of hearing disorder. Tinnitus is irreversible, and the hearing aids have to mask the 'cricket' noise, while amplifying the target sound.
I would like to know before tackling this problem: Has anyone gotten one of these types of hearing aids, and were you happy with the results? TIA
My crickets are not that bad yet and don't notice them with my hearing aids in. Find a good hearing aid specialist. One that will let you try out the hearing aids for 30 to 60 days before purchase. During that 30 to 60 days go back often for readjustments if you think it's needed.
