New device to fight 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 our latest product that fights tinnitus.  Our new
Tinnitus Block Aid looks like our openfit hearing aid, but has a white noise generator that fights the painful effects of tinnitus.  Our Tinnitus Aid Blocker is designed for users that have debilitating tinnitus.  The hearing aid has an on aid volume control that can be adjusted easily.  We also include a fitting kit of several soft domes and tubes to insure that you get a comfortable fit.
Because this device is built to fight tinnitus, it will does not amplify sound like a traditional hearing aid.  Since tinnitus is most prevalent when the world is quiet, we recommend wearing this device instead of your hearing aids when you are in quiet environments.  Additionally, many people that have tinnitus notice a real improvement by wearing one of our hearing aids.  It is true that for mild cases of tinnitus, we can often stimulate the higher frequencies enough that the tinnitus is either greatly reduced or eliminated.

If you are experiencing tinnitus, we encourage you to call us or email us at sales@openfit.com to discuss your needs.  There is hope for tinnitus.
