Tinnitus and Hearing Loss

Tinnitus frequently overlaps with hearing loss, although the experience varies by person.

NIDCD describes hearing aids as one of the main treatment options for people who have both tinnitus and hearing loss. Amplifying external sound can make tinnitus less noticeable for some people.

Practical next step

An audiologist can measure hearing and evaluate tinnitus. That makes a hearing assessment more informative than assuming a supplement or device addresses the underlying issue.
