_Which masking sound do you get most benefit from?_
Cross between tea kettle and buzzing.
Crickets
Crickets with white noise at night.
FM tone.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So many people are suffering tinitus it's a dreadful thing, l cannot believe in this day and age when we can do so much like space exploration and all the technology that is out there but No One can help with this debilitating thing "Why"
Because space is fake
Because it’s not profitable 😐
Screeching all day long for years I have high frequency hearing loss…I’m good along the graph and then I plummet I work in a hearing clinic and my practitioner popped a couple of hearing aids in while at work to try them out and see if it helps…I’ve been wearing them for 3 days and on the first day I could still hear the screeching and after the second and third day I have no screeching😃😃😃 I wear the Starkey livio 2400s with a size 2 50 DB receiver and wow what a difference ❤ nothing that has been screeching in my ears whatsoever
I have had tonal tinnitus for 8 days. I'm new in this sense. I made an appointment for a doctor's check-up. I have a few days to find out the truth. From what I have experienced so far, it is a difficult disorder to deal with. I would like to thank you for opening such a channel.
Just the sound of your reassuring voice has helped me to relax and sleep better. I listened to the different sounds for tinnitus on your video but none are what I hear. Also, I have been to medical practitioners but that greatly increased my anxiety when they told I need more extensive testing.
Ssxsssssssxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
very interesting and very helpful.
congratulations for communicating the information so understandable.
Hey Lourdes! Thank you so much for watching, Matthew
Thank you for this video. I have heard of so many people with tinnitus finding major relief with hearing aids. Even my own audiologist recommended them for me and said just using the hearing aid would mask my tinnitus as it makes every sound around us crisp. I don’t even have hearing loss but most hearing aids have tinnitus maskers as well.
Hey Klien, I'm really pleased that we've been able help to empower you regarding your tinnitus. There's a lot that you can do to help to overcome your tinnitus. Check out my other video on the other things that you can look at doing to help: ua-cam.com/video/0t8PY5JhSYY/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching, Matthew
So even if you've got no hearing loss you can still use aids somehow..?
I have it very bad and also hear multiple sounds in my head. A motor running, sounds of instruments, or what sounds like a train or plane. This is with the buzzing. I got hearing aides about 3 months ago and there has been no change, it drives me crazy. I went to 3 different ENTs before getting them and they all told me don't get them thinking they will help but if they do it's a bonus. They said get the aides because your hearing is low. Oh, and I got the Resound aides
Thanks a million for this ! I now have a series of questions for my audiologist.
Hey Francois! I love that, happy to help. Matthew 😊
I really appreciate you for sharing your knowledge with us. I’ve been having like a sandy noise, specially in me right ear; but haven’t discussed with my doctor. I had spells of vertigo, especially when I’m under cold temperature due to the air conditioning. I’m 77, still working. Looking for the best way to keep my health. Blessings to you. You are fantastic!
You have so many options! Matthew
SSHL rocked my world in October. I've been looking for relief ever since.
I’m sorry to hear that Nate, I hope that you’re in good care. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Excellent video, with a lot of valuable information & thank you. I believe my tinnitus is tonal at an extremely high pitch consistently. So wish I could have silence one day, but not at all optimistic.
I got cured permanently from tinnitus after using the natural remedies I ordered from.Dr ITUA tinnitus Doc from UA-cam Youtu.be/ibEgU-dFpDE
Great takeaways I got from this video, (some points do not apply all systems): The frequency of your tinnitus is likely to be close to the area of greatest hearing loss you have. The different broadband AND nature sounds can vary in frequency response in order to more closely match an individuals tinnitus. Masking sounds can be customised to hone in on your tinnitus rather than just a flat frequency response curve. Apps allow an individual to make changes to the onboard tinnitus features of their devices.
Questions:
If you have tinnitus primarily in one ear do the masking sounds get played in that ear or both ears?
I have constant tonal 6kHz in the left ear and I notice at night in bed a pulsing whoosh following the tempo of my heartbeat. What is the medical importance of getting pulsatile tinnitus checked?
I notice when watching TV with and sound system that the volume of the tonal tinnitus increases if I turn up the volume of the TV. Is it common for tinnitus to change in perceived volume as ambient noise increases?
Thanks Mathew.
Thanks for all the great content man, this is all really appreciated. :) I am particularly interested in what you mentioned regarding tonal tinnitus and the relief that you get through Signia hearing aids. I have had tonal tinnitus on one side since 2007, and recently have gone through surgery for a choleostoma. Due to the surgery, I have moderate to severe hearing loss, and when you mentioned Signia providing relief from your tonal tinnitus, was super hopeful. Was that through a masking sound which covered the sound of your tinnitus? or the silent notch therapy Signia has, and was the effect immediate?
Looking forward to more great content! :)
I got cured permanently from tinnitus after using the natural remedies I ordered from.Dr ITUA tinnitus Doc from UA-cam Youtu.be/ibEgU-dFpDE
i have been using signia's 312 ax models for some time and it really helped me with my tinnitus. on a quick note, please keep in mind that it doesn't treat all types of tinnitus.
Absolutely the very first one!
Thank you, very helpful
You're welcome! Thanks for John! Stay tuned for more, Matthew
The closest sound that describes my tinnitus is what you term "electric" with intermittent squealing tonal change. I personally described it as similar to a fax machine. I am now using Phonak Audeo and while it does help significantly, I do still experience constant tinnitus getting louder especially when having headache or migraine or near objects that buzz or hum. I have lost the hair cells and according to the audiologist, it was probably occupational while in military service.
Hey Reanne, thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that you’ve found something that helps, even if it’s just a little. Stay tuned in for more tinnitus posts. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Don't know if you've explored some phone apps but they allow you to create a lot of your own ambient masking noise. My home has a surround sound speakers and I use these apps to create really reasonably pleasant masking noises for terrible tenitus in both ears.
And a lot of alcohol. I'm just kidding about that.
I am shopping for the best device this week. How about a video from you kind sir, with price (ranges) ?? Thank you for all the great information. My tinnitus is caused by 1. A bad inner ear infection from childhood (right) which left that ear AT 45% losss with high pitched tinnitus 40 years ago. Then 2. I was marketing ands touring with some very loud rock bands through the 70's and 80's like Elton, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard & Ozzy. That business left about 70% hearing in the left ear which has grown significantly. I cannot afford the top tear brands but I am hoping the 2nd best devices from Signia, Phonak & Starkey will still offer my needed relief from 24/7 ringing in both ears with one being very high (almost to the dog whistle), and the left in a much more rolling and roaring sound.Can I see close to the same relief in a device at 4 to 5K, or should I sell a kidney and get the Top models at 7500 to 9000??? Thanks again, have a blessed day! Wynn
I have 2 Phonak hearing aids and they reduce my tinnitus to virtually nil. If I am in an ultra quiet environment I can still hear tinnitus but it is minimal and it doesn't bother me.
Thanks for a very good video! I started out with a pair of Widex hearingaids with zen program for my tinnitus. Loved the fractal tones. But changed brand to a set of Phonak hearingaids later on. I do miss the zen program as I don´t like phonaks tinnitus noices at all. But for some reason my tinnitus is much less noticeable with Phonak hearing aids so I have skipped a special tinnitus program for now. My tinnitus consists of many different noices. Teakettle perhaps and often some pure tones as well. It is qute low in frequency. 24/7 but now it does not change every day wich makes it so much easier to manage.
Hey Nina. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences. Hopefully it will be useful for others watching this video too :) Thanks for watching, Matthew
I enjoyed your presentation regarding the maskers
My question however is with an additional sound from the masked itself plus the tinnitus Joe would you hear anything else at all clearly with now two noises in your ears ?
Sounds like an odd question but I can’t comprehend how another noise constantly added to the tinkers would leave much room for any other sounds
Hoping you will reply to me
I appreciate your commitment here to the tinnitus community
Hey LK, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Yes you should be able to hear just fine. I would recommend the level be just about audible, so not too distracting. I'm glad to be able to help. If you have any questions or ideas for videos that you would like then let me know. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I’m looking for ways to get rid of my tinnitus. Your explanation makes me think about the best way to cope with I. Blessings on your way. You are fantastic.
Hey Maria. Im really pleased to hear that. There is definitely hope and you will find a way. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Matthew 😊
Thank you again Matthew for your amazing video. It’s unbelievable the amount of information you need to know to do your videos and the experience with your patients. Thank you again!
Thanks for the feedback Carla!
I've had tinnitus for about 10 years. Just Ordered the Jabra hearing aids from Costco. I seem to always have either pink or white noise in both ears and many times get ringing around 3000-3800 Hz on top of the noise. I've watched many of your videos and playing around a few tinnitus iphone apps for sound masking and neuromodulation. I'm hoping to set up the apps for my tinnitus and get relief when I get the hearing aids.
in my case I would say it is a combination of electric and roaring. The one sound that I have noticed works best is running water (like a stream or brook).
Tinnutus is nothing but cold and air imbalance in body(Vata and Kapa) .. all you need to do clean ear, keep warm your body and intake some herbal like Solanum trilobatum will completely help you over the period of time.. put 3 to 4 drops os sesame oil in ear on daily bedtime.. will help lot.. Take horse gram power with hot water(add some pepper) cook it well and drink the water...
I had a hearing test and the ENT told me that I needed (Brain Therapy...NOW)
Thank you 👍🏻
Could you tell me please, without hearing loss, would I use tinnitus masking all the time? How long does it generally take to habituate? I was also wondering how the specific brand is chosen since there is quite a range of prices. As for tone, in one ear I have “hissy cicadas” and the other, which I mostly don’t hear, sounds very much like a gas powered edge trimmer. Interestingly, when I use the vacuum cleaner or blow drier, I do have a break sometimes lasting several minutes, after which the hissy cicadas change to something more like gurgling. 🤷♀️
Hey Angie, you really need to have a good chat with an audiologist and they'll give you the best advice knowing your full history. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Low tone heading out due to endolymphatic hydrops. The tinnitus I deal with ranges from a a car horn with a train and crickets in the background. The tinnitus changes and can have a melodic tone to it. It can get horrible at night and even wake me up. Luckily, this syndrome usually resolves and then I just have the high frequency and I have gotten used to that.
Hey Samara, Im sorry to hear that and hope that you're beginning to cope with it better. Thanks for watching, Matthew
give you an idea what my tinnitus is like, is "high pitched ringing." If i were to use my computer to match the sound level my computer volume would be 60-65 and a crashing wave video on UA-cam volume set to max. So trying to work to determine the correct hearing aid using tinnitus assistance... and reaching out to and audiologist will be next... Thanks for the Great Video. EBW USN Ret.
Hi! I have tinnitus and my audiologist is recommending Resound Omnia 961. In your video you recommend Resound Tinnitus Sound Generator. Is that a feature in all Resound hearing aids, or is it a specific model of the Resound hearing aids? Thank you!
Hey Jennifer, great question. I made this video prior to the release of Omnia, however the tinnitus features are the same so the model you’ve been recommended will work for you 😊. Thanks for watching, Matthew
@@HearingTracker thank you for your response.
Does Manulife pay for these hearing aides ? I have had tinnitus in my left ear for 12 years , after lower back surgery
Hey Trevor, that’s a question for them. Could you feedback when you find out? Thanks for watching, Matthew
Can you pin an update that the Oticon Companion app replaced the On app? The Companion app allows you to control the masking volume but as of now does not have the other tinnitus flexibility described in the video the the On app had.
Thank you 🎩🙏🤗
Is Signia's Notch inhibition technology patent protected? Would love to see the other manufacturers adopt that strategy for my patients with unitonal tinnitus.
Signia notch therapy has NOT helped me at all! 3 years at all!! 🤬
Hey Will, I believe it is yes! Thanks for watching, Matthew
Thank you so much ..I had tinnitus in right ear for about a year
The tinnitus in my right ear became stronger and more defined about a week ago...after watching video I have options for treatment😊
@Ken Myrheim which brand are you using, someone suggested me to use widex company brand called Cosalgi its a Denmark brand, I have ringing in right ear some good days some 80% low but night n waking up in morning it's terrible , so they gave me this hearing aid of cosalgi it has Bluetooth for 2 days trial but I don't see much difference
I can adjust sounf volume from its app I have slight hearing loss in right ear but it doesn't bother me with ot without hearing aid, what boders me its this bloody tinnitus
So can you pls explain which brand are you using it and does it completely mask your terrible tinnitus? Pls advice
I’ve had tinnitus for three years predominately in the left ear. I have seen an ENT and they didn’t seem to be concerned that it was in one ear only. Can you let me know why you would be concerned. Cheers John
Hey John, we have a list of strict criteria that if we come across we should refer and unilateral tinnitus is one of them. If it’s been investigated then you’ve done the right thing. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Probably tea kettle comes closest...a constant tone between C6 and C#6. Interestingly, when my audiologist played a static sound from soft to loud and back, the loud static noise knocked out my tinnitus for awhile.
Also, my first hearing test years ago using constant tones made the tinnitus so loud that I couldn't hear a lot of the tones around the tinnitus tone, causing me to fail the hearing test and be rejected for a job. Years later I learned they should have used pulsed tones...those don't exacerbate my tinnitus, plus I can easily differentiate between a pulsed tone and the constant tinnitus tone(s). When tinnitus is exacerbated, another secondary frequency kicks in (albeit not as loud as the primary tone).
Hey Torinsall, great to hear from you. Thanks for the info. This is great help for anyone out there reading that may have similar issues. Thanks for watching.
What is the approximate cost of these? thank you
I am wearing Widex Moment,but I am thinking about trying Signia will there be much difference in tinnitus programs?
Hey Sandy, yes they're significant different. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Hi, my hearing loss is sensorineural at lower levels. Inner hair cells damaged. The tinnitus is also at a very low, constant loud hum. My audiologist had never had a patient with low level loss. I actually didn’t have tinnitus until I used digital hearing aids which appeared to stimulate the hair cells. All your suggestions seem to be for tinnitus at high pitched levels. Any suggestions for low levels please as nobody seems able to advise. Thanks
Hey Caroline, thanks for taking the time to comment. There are a plethora of different types of noise or various zen therapies which can tackle a low frequency tinnitus too and should help. Which tech are you wearing? Thanks, Matthew
gosh, that notification bell can hurt my hyperacusis 😃
Hey TheWarmJet, thanks for the feedback, I've reduced the sound for future videos, Matthew
@@HearingTracker cool :)
Hi can you make a video on sound suppressing hearing aids because I'm getting some soon and I'm not sure how they work
Hey RIRI, leave it with me. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Hi, I used to have tinnitus but it was really low, to the point where I could only ear it in a quiet room. Three weeks ago, I had a middle ear infection that made my tinnitus a lot worse. Ive gone to the ENT, and he told me that my ear infection is totally over, and my ears are not clogged anymore, but my tinnitus is still a lot higher, and I can hear ir almost all the day. Do you think my tinnitus will go back to normal soon??? Keep up the good work
Hey Andre, I'm sorry to hear that. The best I can advise is to follow the steps in the video and know that you're in control of overcoming your T. Good luck and thanks for watching, Matthew
After I got Covid my T increased. However, it did settle back down after a couple months.
Hi , what is the best for tinnitus ?
Hey Bin, check out all of the different hearing tech's reviewed in this video. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Does tinnitus make you hear music differently i went to the ent and i actually have prefect hearing but when i play certain songs they don’t sound the same
My tinnitus is a combination of "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" continuously, plus ringing noise. Intermittently but rarely I also get a high pitched noise. I'm very sceptical about hearing aids masking tinnitus. I know that my tinnitus is worse after driving my car or being a passenger in a car, or after mowing my lawn, or using a kitchen appliance like a hand-held beater or food processor. Thus, in my case it's a matter of vehicle and appliance vibrations and noise perhaps through bone conduction to my one and only functioning ear drum.
Hey Sk12ppy, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope that you find a solution that works for you. Matthew
After 9 months, idk how I'm gonna get over this. I did 3 straight months of strict violet noise masking but had to switch to water sounds after reading that structureless sound can actually make tinnitus worse. What I use now doesn't work as well, and my tinnitus has gotten worse in the last couple weeks. I'm constantly annoyed, irritated, and worried. I can't relax. I can't sleep comfortably. I have to constantly play loud sounds 24/7 to drown some of it out. I'm so tired of it.
me too. it will be my death
I reccomend watching some if Dr.Ben Thompson videos
I have no idea if my tinnitus is as bad as yours. I expect not. When mine started it drove me crazy. Literally. I had to be admitted to hospital. I could not sleep or concentrate, either. Maybe I'm OCD, too. I got fixated on it. I had to go on anti-depressants to live with it. After about 2 years it seems my brain adjusted to it. I just went to audiologist recently because it got louder. Basically, I have moderate to severe hearing loss above 2K. I'm debating whether hearing aids are an option that can help me.
@@tonyk438 I'm really sorry you're struggling. Mine felt better for a time last year and then got worse. I've been on antidepressants/antianxiety for a few months now and I think that's helping a lot. I figured it's a very simple approach to try and tackle tinnitus from the anxiety side of things. If I can just relax, maybe I can forget it. And I think I have to a degree. While it's still there, I don't notice it as much anymore because I'm less worried. And most importantly, my reaction to it isn't the same anymore. I find comfort in knowing I can be distracted and that Susan shore is still working on her treatment which is sounding promising with each update. Hang in there Tony. It doesn't feel like a promising solution to be asked to try and forget about it but neuroplasticity is real and it does help if you can find some way to achieve and commit to it.
@@tonyk438 And I would definitely give hearing aids a try if you're up for it. I wanted to as well and I may still try sometime
Great video! But I’m worried that after so many years of terrible constant humming/ buzzing/hissing noises and just about putting it to the back of my mind and kind of ignore it. I am concerned that if I go have my hearing test the tinnitus will be spoken about again so brought back to my thoughts!
No one can see just how bad it is and when you tell someone that you have tinnitus all they say is “ that must be awful “ then carry on about other things, unlike a bruised body or broken bone that can be seen . Enough of me going on.
I totally get it! It can be maddening!
Hey Dave, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I get it. Completely. The moment that a patient mentions their tinnitus during an appointment, mine comes to the forefront, and then when we move on it disappears again. The power of the mind is HUGELY important when it comes to tinnitus. Matthew
People say to me “I have it too but doesn’t bother me” like it shouldn’t bother me but we all know there is tinnitus and really debilitating tinnitus that affects your sleep, concentration etc. I went for 10 years managing it but last two years with reduced hearing my tinnitus is worse and I have struggled. I am due to get a hearing aid next month so hoping that will help.
@@juliewillard1367 Julie I truly feel for you and know exactly what your going through! Fingers crossed the Hearing aid masking works for you. Good luck x
It helped ?
So how do i get one of them? Can i order on amazon orI must order vis an audiologist???
Hey Horshy, these are all prescription fitted hearing aids via your audiologist. Take care, Matthew
Thank you for this video! Does anyone have any ideas of how people without good health insurance can get tinnitus hearing aids? 😢 My poor husbsnd has tinnitus
Amazon
There is no mention of what I believe to be tinnitus. In addition to having tonal tinnitus, when I wake up I hear people talking very faintly like on a radio although my house is perfectly quiet. My adult daughter has this condition also. Is anyone familiar with this?
Hey Sally, Tinnitus is any sound that you perceive that isn't being produced by a sound source in the environment around you so yes you have tinnitus I'm afraid. I hope the video helped. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Yes, I have this sound also. It’s like someone is having a conversation with another person in a different room.
i can identify the pitch that it is, but If i play and listen to that sound for long enough then i hear the fuzzy static and then a different pitch
Any new improved for 2023?
You know the sound that you have when you feel dizzy.? What is this tinnitus called?
Screeching since about age of 5 and I’m 60 but everything you played hurt.
Hey DLodge, I'm sorry to hear that. Matthew

20:43 does the Philips 9040 has masking sounds for tinnitus
Is it true that trt will not work if tinnius frequency is above 8000 kHz?
Hi Blue, no its not. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Tone tinnitus.. My left side is around 6500hz and my right is around 6700hz,, Not fun. Had my hearing checked and loss some. Hearing aids too expensive and insurance won't help cover them, yes at 67 years old, I cannot get any help. I tried the Starky hearing aids for 30 days but way too expensive.
I am disappointed with how audiologist seem to think they know it all.....they don't!!! I tried Widex....which suck and did not help. She talked me into Oticon....which doesn't even help! But I have a 25 year old pair of Starkey's and they are still working! I love my workhorse Starkey's.
Hey Gretta, thanks for taking the time to comment.
I’m pleased to hear that you’ve found something that works for you. As a practicing audiologist I’m glad I have UA-cam as a forum so that I can share my patient’s experiences. Of course, everyone is different and that’s why it’s great that each manufacturer has their own spin on tinnitus masking sounds.
Thanks for watching, Matthew
My is t is tonal I tried a couple hearing aids and Levo devices and no relief. My t has debilitated my I’m at the end my rope don’t what else to do. All I want is relief. The next to do put myself 6ft under this where I’m at. God safe me.:(
Hey Louis, Im sorry to hear that. Have you been to seek professional advice? There is so much that can be done. Matthew
How you doing now?
Sir pls tell me that..how you manage Ur tinnitus??? I'm from 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hey Shraddha, that's a great question and I manage it with all of the tips in my videos. Check out the Tinnitus Playlist. Thanks for watching, Matthew
The tinnitus masking hearing aids are so expensive, does health insurance help pay for them?
Hey Bonnie, That all depends on your policy. Thanks for watching, Matthew
Health insurances barely pay for basic hearing aids.
None of the masking tones come close to matching my tinnitus. I would describe mine as a scintillating high-frequency noise that has features closer to a jet engine whine, cicadas at night in Florida, and a very high-pitched electrical sizzle and tinkling noises. The masks have FAR too much mid and low-frequency content. I have Meniere's disease in the ear that has tinnitus, although the tinnitus began years after that developed. Meniere's involves marked low-frequency hearing loss, not in the area of my tinnitus, although I have typical high-frequency hearing loss of aging in both ears. I tried some very expensive hearing aids and I was very disappointed. They dramatically improved speech clarity, but I thought they were awful at handling music. The miniature amplifies in hearing aids do a terrible job amplifying music, adding considerable distortion to subwoofer level bass and even noticeable distortion to high-frequency treble sounds. I could not stand wearing them when I listened to music on my high-end sound system at home. This is an area where all hearing aid technology appears to understandably fail. There is no way to get high-fidelity full-spectrum amplification out of these microscopic amplifiers.
Thanks for watching Bill, Matthew
I have phonak. My audiologist doesn't believe in masking sounds and won't program them for me. But when I did use them, I couldn't use the nature or beach sounds. My brain picks up when the tracks start over. The sounds just irritate me and stresses me out. The white noise never seemed to help when I had another audiologist. I have really high frequency tinnitus. Frequency changes sometime but the basic sound never really goes away. Almost like I get dual frequencies sometimes.
Hey James, thanks for taking the time to comment. I don't know if you've tried Widex' Zen therapies as they're designed for exactly what you've described? Thanks for watching, Matthew
Can hearing aids can damage hearing and make noise inducted T worse by pumping into ears white noise all day?
Hey Bluelikeneon, if you spend all day in a noisy place, hearing aids or no hearing aids you can suffer with NIHL. Thanks for watching, Matthew

Hey Suheri, no problem. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, Matthew
I am suffering with “Tonal” type
Why can’t I hear the tonal one …. Hmmm
I seem to have tonal tinitus.

How you doing now bro
@@LevaniAslamazishvili-bz8gm it's 24/7 since 2015.
I'm only an expert is so far as I know what my ears like. And there are phone apps that, with speakers, create better masking sounds than anything hearing aids currently produce.
You still gotta find a way to get the sounds in your ears via headphones, glasses with audio ports, surround sound speakers, car speakers, or even just right out of your phone. There is tons and tons of Bluetooth options for little speakers you can carry with you.
I've created a massive array of speakers at my home and work and with the exception of short walks to my car I'm surrounded by noise which works really well to mask terrible tenitis in both ears.
And it's a weird life. If you get in my orbit you're going to hear my shush puppies.
Which phone apps???
tea kettles or locusts
I suffer from the tonal type sound 24/7.
I went to the doctor and they recommended a hearing aid that was $6000. 😭
Ironic that the volume on a video for people with hearing issues is so f-cling low.
