I was told when I got hearing aids that it might reduce the tinnitus. Tinnitus isn't purely a physiologic thing, and supposedly, restoring hearing in the high frequency range can diminish the perceived tenor (loudness) of the tinnitus. Truth be told, hearing aids haven't changed the tinnitus much, which continues to seem louder as I age. But others report differently.

cyclezen , it seems that you should at least consult with an audiologist and find out the frequency range of your hearing. Odds are that you do have high frequency hearing loss.
