Noise cancelling... That's interesting. As long as the ringing pitch doesn't change. You just dial it in and reverse the phase. That's a simple and ingenious solution.
The problem is that you're not really hearing a sound. It's the perception of a sound. You could remove every part of your ear and you'll still "hear" it.
You're both right to a degree. The Doctor said it depends on the cause of the tinnitus as to whether it will work. It isn't an external sound, but in some people the hairs in the inner ear partially lay down as if they are getting a stimulus, and so the person hears a sound that isn't there. These people can be helped with the feedback in a hearing aid if they can tune it just right that the hairs stand erect.
Other people have tinnitus because the inner ear or the nerves have been damaged so that there is a range of sound the ear isn't picking up in part or in whole, and the brain tends to fill in the lack of stimulus by creating one to "fill the void." These people aren't able to be helped, as the feedback can't be detected due to the existing damage.
At least that's what I remember of the conversation. I also remember the "thousands of dollars to find out" part most vividly.

Sounds about right.

Mine sounds like crickets. The kind I used to lie in bed listening to at night. I think they call that type static. It's loud all the time but you learn to tune it out.

Discussed my hearing with a Doc I saw a few months ago. He offered to refer me but I declined. He said people can decline faster mentally with hearing loss. They tend to withdraw and lose interest.

Cheap shit does not work the same. At least it didn't used to.

"They" are watching everything we do and targeting ads accordingly.

My leftwing FI brother in law has tinnitus and uses hearing aids to eliminate the noise. He said it works well for him.

Oticon is hands down the best brand on the market, I have had them for 20 years with no complaints. Next best would be phonaks.
The tech in the Oticons is amazing, I have noticed since getting the latest thing with them, I am less tired at the end of the day. I can hear voices ALOT BETTER, I find I don't have to concentrate as hard on what folks are saying. They are rechargeable and have all kinds of doo dad's and what not on the Bluetooth.

Are there any hearing aids that have high quality streaming audio? Like ear bud quality? My trial pair are excellent on phone and decent on voice, but sound really tinny for any bass.

They probably tune those so that you can mostly hear speech and not have a lot of other frequencies that might mask speech.

look @ the oticon opn.

Ok will look at this evening.
