Vertigo and hearing aids

@ellisonvoice said:

acoustic feedback that’s very strong but maybe an octave higher than the user can hear. Quite an onslaught on the cochlea! Been there because of an ill-fitting mould. Excellent audiologist sorted that AND rolled off the high end to match my hearing cutoff - so if ever there’s a whistle it falls within a pitch that I can hear.

A similar problem, as I described earlier—maybe it’s a broken balanced armature in the RIC receiver.:

Are they BTE pr RICs? Are they under warranty? Perhaps they should be serviced. If they are RICs maybe is something bad in receivers and changing them to new ones could help.

I have menieres and for a long time it was one ear but now both. I have list 80% of my hearing. My vertigo was in remission for many years until 5 years ago then came back with a vengence. That gas niw calmed but I recently bought new hearing aids which have molds instead of domes and I now gave more tinnitus and a couple of vertigo attacks so I am wondering if it is the new stronger aids. I still can’t hear a lot of people and with griups of people it is almost impossible. It must be so difficult for you and I hope audiology can help. I’m at the moment hoping things will improve as I get used to my new Phonak aids. Wishing you all the best for using your aids without vertigo in future.
