Best Hearing Aids for Tinnitus in 2025

Tinnitus—that persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears—affects millions of Americans. What many don't realize is that tinnitus and hearing loss often go hand-in-hand. Nearly 90% of individuals with tinnitus also have an underlying hearing loss, which is no coincidence.

As a Doctor of Audiology who has spent over a decade helping patients manage tinnitus, I'm excited to share my insights on the latest hearing technology. Having worked with hundreds of tinnitus patients, I've seen firsthand how the right hearing solution can transform lives.

The good news is that approximately 70% of people who use hearing aids to manage their tinnitus experience significant improvement in their tinnitus perception. This happens simply by returning those missing sounds back to the brain through proper amplification.

But what about the other 30%? For these individuals, hearing aids with specialized tinnitus features may provide the additional relief they need. Let's explore the top hearing aids of 2025 specifically designed to address tinnitus.

Top Hearing Aids for Tinnitus in 2025

These recommendations are based on clinical experience and comprehensive evaluations. Each model offers unique benefits, and the right choice depends on your specific needs and preferences. I've tested these devices with my own patients and have seen remarkable improvements in tinnitus perception and overall quality of life. What makes these hearing aids stand out is their specialized tinnitus management features that go beyond standard amplification.

Oticon Intent

The Oticon Intent provides powerful tinnitus relief with its rechargeable technology offering up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge.

Key Features:

• Available in four technology levels, with all levels including Tinnitus Sound Support
• Exceptional high-frequency amplification with advanced feedback management
• Bluetooth compatibility with iPhones, iPads, and select Android devices
• Future compatibility with Bluetooth LE Audio

Tinnitus Support Options:

• Multiple sound generator options through Tinnitus Sound Support
• Steady noises shaped to your unique hearing loss pattern
• White noise with equal sound energy across pitches
• Lower-pitched pink and red noise options
• Three ocean-based sounds for soothing variety
• Independent adjustment capabilities for each ear
• Volume level adaptation to changing environmental noise

The Oticon Intent allows for four program slots, giving you different sound options that can be changed based on your environment or daily needs. These programs can be controlled either directly on the hearing aids or through the Oticon Companion app.

Signia Pure Charge&Go IX

The Signia Pure Charge&Go IX offers an impressive 39-hour battery life on a single charge, making it ideal for those who need extended tinnitus relief.

Key Features:

• Available in five technology levels, with tinnitus features in all except the basic level
• Higher technology levels provide more customization options for sound therapy
• Bluetooth connectivity with Apple and select Android devices
• Already compatible with Bluetooth LE Audio

Tinnitus Support Options:

• Three tinnitus sound generator categories: static noise, ocean noise, and proprietary Notch Therapy
• Notch Therapy is particularly effective for tonal tinnitus (steady, single-tone tinnitus)
• Multiple program slots for various sound therapy options

Signia's innovative Notch Therapy works by filtering out amplification in the specific frequency area of your tinnitus. For instance, if you experience tinnitus at 1000 Hz, the hearing aid would provide amplification above and below 1000 Hz, leaving that specific region untouched. This technique leverages cortical lateral inhibition, a neural mechanism that can reduce activity in the overstimulated brain region responsible for many types of tinnitus.

According to Signia's research, Notch Therapy has proven effective for 65% of those with tonal tinnitus, with users reporting significant improvement after beginning treatment.

Widex SmartRIC

The Widex SmartRIC is currently available exclusively as a rechargeable model, providing an impressive 37 hours of battery life on a single charge.

Key Features:

• Bluetooth compatibility for Apple devices and select Android devices
• Known for high input dynamic range, giving access to incredibly soft and loud sounds
• Available in multiple technology levels with varying numbers of program slots

Tinnitus Support Options:

• Unique fractal tones not found in any other hearing aid
• Five available Zen options with adjustments for tempo, pitch, and volume

Widex's fractal tones are distinctive chime-like sounds that never repeat, offering novelty and variety without becoming predictable. This music-like sound can be very relaxing and helps manage tinnitus differently than traditional masking sounds.

In addition to the standard app for general hearing aid control, Widex offers a secondary app called Widex Zen Tinnitus. This app provides various sound therapy options, relaxation exercises, and guided sleep exercises.

• Customizable pitch across the frequency spectrum
• Four program slots available in all technology levels

Starkey also offers their own tinnitus app called Starkey Relax, which provides 12 different sound therapy options. Users can adjust volume, fluctuation rate, and set a sleep timer.

Finding the Right Professional is Critical

More important than the hearing aid you choose is the professional you work with. Hearing aids should be just one component of successful tinnitus management, not the only option.

To get the full benefit from these specialized hearing aids, it's essential to find a hearing care professional who specializes in tinnitus treatment and follows Best Practices in hearing healthcare. Working with an expert ensures you receive comprehensive care that addresses both your hearing loss and tinnitus symptoms. 

Other treatment options such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or bimodal neuromodulation should also be considered depending on your specific case of tinnitus.
