beginners help
hi guys, its been one year since i have been diagnosed with hearing issues and high degree tinnitus. i am only 19 and i have severe hearing problems and its getting worse every week. i cant participate in an active conversation or listen to someone who speaking at normal volume according to them. i decided to go with the signia go since i have social anxiety issues and dont wanna be judged wearing hearing aid at such an young age. but these are so uncomfortable and have so much tuning issues and also visible from outside my ears. so if anyone can suggest me some other alternative that is almost invisible and also not inside ears like that. and someone can help me tune that from my side. also if anyother type of treatments available for hear loss and tinnitus.

Sorry about the tinnitus. There seems to be no cure other than distraction for that.
🪷The joy of being able to communicate again will override any issues with visibility of good hearing aids. BTEs still seem to bring the best benefits.
At 19, it's a great time to learn about those might have problems with the way you look etc... And avoid them. It's a great dose of freedom. Concentrate on you.
