Generally speaking, hearings help with tinnitus by making other sounds louder and distracting one from the sound. My Siemens----errr, Signia aids have the background noise option, which I tried and detested. They also have what is called 'notch therapy', wherein the sounds right where the tinnitus is are attenuated. It's intended to de-sensitize the hearing of that frequency. I have that active on mine and believe it works, but it's enormously subjective; after all nobody can hear your tinnitus but you.
