[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3759619, member: 5412"] LOL, the paper rustling and other noises is exactly what your supposed to hear. Your loss has suppressed that noise for years and you didn't notice it because it was gradual. Depending on the model you have, tinnitus can be suppressed by aids. Mine do. My friend who was a tank driver in the 70's has profound hearing loss and was eligible for VA Aids. After a week he put them in a drawer and said he couldn't stand all the noise. (I think he could finally hear his wife) What happens after getting aids is that the brain takes a couple of weeks to adapt to the influx of data coming into the ear. If the aids are not totally out of whack, the brain will start to adjust to those sounds. One has to be patient and let it happen. [/QUOTE]
