Contact Resound, they're the main players in the market. Its not like a normal hearing aid, you wear it when required.

What does this do exactly?

It produces white noise, and masks the ringing. The idea is you increase the volume until it is just under the volume your tinnitus is at. Therefore you habituate to the condition - a psychological form of adaption.

It's very interesting how many people claim to have tinnitus, yet have never sought medical advice or treatment. Most audiologists who specialise in this condition will always tell you only those who really suffer from the condition will seek help. If it's something (tinnitus) you feel you have, but don't wish to bother the GP with it, then the last thing you want is one of these devices !

I only really notice mine when I wake up in the morning. Try not to highlight it or think about it. I always wear my ACS Pro17s for gigs and practice.

Your certainly wont need a masking device for the early morning ring.  Tinnitus maskers are more suited for people who suffer 24/7, where the noise inhibits sleep patterns and is sending you over the edge. Basically, when the tinnitus is affecting your life. No different to an OCD I suppose, many people enjoy tidying their house up 50 times a day, its when you neglect the kids to tidy the house you have a problem.

At least its encouraging that no one else suffers from tinnitus enough to require this
