Hi John.

Yes I did and still do sometimes have problems with my hearing Aids. The only thing you can do is turn them down to the lowest setting.

For the first week wear your hearing aids for 3 Hours per day. By the end of the week you won't even remember your wearing them .Then the second week you wear them for 5 Hours but for two weeks. Then gradually build up your time using them. But strongly don't suggest wearing them in busy shopping centres . By doing this you actually help reduce the Tinatis . I only have 28% hearing and am stone deaf from behind since two years ago it's all due to physical trauma catching up years later as upto two years ago I could hear a conversation in the next room with all doors closed. I had no idea how to use the hearing aids two years ago, I like you could not bare the noise around me when wearing them an when I went back a few months ago they told me after all the testing that I had gone from 35 down to 28% an that's all I have is 28% hearing in total and it's because I was not wearing my hearing aids . That they won't cure my Tinatis or give me back my hearing but the hearing aids will help try prevent the hearing getting worse and the Tinatis actually getting worse and this is how you have to get use to wearing them an told me about the 3 Hours then 5 and I have to say it is helping a lot. That an a app from play store named Relief it's especially for our condition here and how to de-stress after a episode of the screeching horrible sore Tinatis.

I hope this is of help to you and you get sorted soon be well an keep strong.😊
