How can hearing your wife save your marriage?……you think it would be opposite

You can turn them off.

I had that. It was getting pretty bad.

I got hearing aids to help with the hearing loss I also have, and the tinnitus is 99% gone. Getting hearing aids was life-changing. It also saved my marriage.

I just say “ yes dear” as soon as I see her lips move

Well, it was also affecting my work. I couldn’t hear in meetings. My kids would be talking to me and I’ve have no idea.

My dad had hearing loss and I remembered the issues and how that made me feel as a kid. I didn’t want to repeat that.

Some how I can hear ok but I also suffer from tinnitus. Always there. Basically constant white noise. Too close to nitro cars. 3 years on the starting line at the Gatornationsls acting like a photographer with a press pass. The real photographers always gave me a hard time. I did the Race Pages for Cruising Style magazine in Florida. It was an excuse for me to get free rein at the Florida drag races.

They’re hearing aids that can help with just tinnitus, too. I’m no audiologist, but I’d bet there’s some hearing loss too. My loss is mild and in a specific frequency range; my brain was filling in that loss of sound with white noise that was terrible.

Not making fun of a health problem, I have had a bad case of tinnitus for 40 years. I was a crew chief on RC 135 aircraft in the Air Force

If you're talking about the 15K for another new set of hearing aids for the Admiral and the Sonos system for the house you guy's just cost me, then yes.

Went to a beer fest last weekend and I felt like I was deaf. Could not hear a thing except noise ...

That’s the worst. I avoided noisy places like that for years. It wasn’t worth sitting there and pretending I could hear anything.

My hearing aids helped with that tremendously. I’m not heading out to a rave, but going out to dinner at a restaurant is now enjoyable.

GF makes me wear foam earplugs now when we go to concerts and such, I resisted it for a while but now I love it, I can hear after the concert.

 

[mrsrobinson]

So are you gentlemen telling me not to get a soundbar, speakers, subwoofer and such because I lose my hearing? ;-)

No, Saying go back to the big equipment days and go big!

Ditch the foam earplugs. They’ll save your hearing, but kind of ruin the concert experience get a set of these instead. Reduces the overall volume but the music still sounds good. Makes it so you can actually enjoy the concert without being in horrendous pain afterwards.

Not at all! Get something that sounds good to you. It’s just that with the evolution of technology you can get a simple system in a single sound bar that delivers really great sound. You might not need to go overboard with a gazillion speakers.

just keep your speakers away from my boat. I’m out there for the relative quiet!

My hearing especialy low base voices with background noise is horrible. No problems with my old vizio tv the had the speakers in the front but the new tv has the speakers in the back and side so I find myself turning the volume way up. That makes the voices better but music and sound effects are way too loud and even scare my cat. Would front facing speaker bars help?

Probably, yes. A lot of TV sound settings. Also, now have options to enhance just the voice without boosting all the bass and music. Sometimes it’s called clear voice or a true voice or something similar.

LOL

I listen to TV through my hearing aids via Bluetooth.
Stereo sound.
Good enough for me and my wife doesn’t care about surround sound.
Used to always make me turn the volume down when I had Bose Sound System.
I’ve had hearing aids for 5 years now.
Absolutely love them from day one.
