Revolutionary hearing aid helps those suffering from tinnitus

openfit.com sells hearing aids to mask tinnitus

One in five people over the age of 55 suffer the painful effects of tinnitus.  Tinnitus is a constant high pitched sound generated inside the ear canal.  It is caused by many different factors including exposure to loud noises, hereditary factors and disease.  There are many cures available; however most of these do not work for most people.  Doctors suggest that the best solution for tinnitus is white noise.  White noise is a sound that masks the sounds created by tinnitus.

Openfit.com is pleased to announce the RIC8+.  This is a revolutionary user programmable hearing aid that actually masks the sounds of tinnitus.  Other hearing aids have attempted to send masking sound through the hearing aid, however, this did not work for several reasons.

The main reason why the RIC8+ is unique is that is the masking sound is completely adjustable by the consumer.  Masking hearing aids in the past failed because they sent one frequency at one volume through the hearing aid.  Some people require a loud noise to combat tinnitus where other people require a softer sound.  Likewise, some people require a low frequency noise while others require a higher frequency noise.  The tinnitus control on the RIC8+ is completely adjustable on the consumer’s computer.  One patient may need a soft volume in the low frequency range while another patient may need a louder volume in the higher frequencies.  Both of these patients needs can be meet with the RIC8+.

The best thing about the RIC8+ is not only does it fight tinnitus, but it is an excellent user programmable hearing aid that uses the latest hearing aid technology.  The RIC8+ is a very small receiver in canal hearing aid that covers a wide range of loss.  The RIC8+ has 4 listening programs that are completely adjustable on your computer.  Previously, hearing care had to be performed by an audiologist.  openfit.com is working to end this expensive cycle that often leaves patients broke and disappointed with a hearing aid that is not adjusted properly. 

Additionally, when you buy a hearing aid from openfit.com, you have 50 days to try it out.  If you are not satisfied with the aid for any reason, you can return it for a full refund minus a small restocking fee.  All of our hearing aids come with a one year loss and damage warranty.  Your aids will be replaced or repaired if they break or are lost.   At openfit.com. we’re here to help you hear.  Please contact us by email at
