I'm a Costco member and have put off getting hearing aids for too long and it's now having a great effect on my daily functionality.

Frank. I have Tinnitus The hearing aids really have no effect on my tinnitus. They might make it less noticeable when wearing the hearing aids. When you have Tinnitus you are never alone. You will be amazed what you are missing when you finally get hearing aids. The first thing you will think is the world is a really noisy place. Hearing loss creeps up on you slowly so you don't notice until its too late. They are not perfect and it takes a bit to get used to them. I had to turn the volume down on mine at first a it is overwhelming. The kept increasing the volume as I got used to them. You need a really good audiologist to work with you to get the frequencies right for you. Get the Bluetooth type with an app that works on your smart phone to be able to adjust the volume and modes. Don't wait it does not get any better.
