Ohhhhhh yes. This is very common for hard of hearing folks (me included)....they just can't shut the background noise off. It doesn't matter if you gradually lose hearing or lost it because of rock music or whatever. There are aids that CAN be programmed to screen out background noise.

Just got a phone call from my audiologist and my hearing aids are already here! I'm heading down in an hour to get them.
Thought I had a little more time to get used to the idea..............

I don't have ADHD, but I have sensory overload and some other atypical traits I'm just now finding out aren't "normal". I do prefer background noise at night as a cacophony of noises makes it difficult to sleep otherwise. I should probably get a machine that generates it.
This is the fan I have (the price has increased since I bought mine though):

I'm at this weird point where I need something to distract me from the tinnitus, but not something too bad that it will overwhelm me.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

I'll look into a fan or white noise machine, and check out QF's link.

I use a very noisy squirrel cage type fan at night. It sits in the hallway just outside the bedroom door and it is loud enough to block most outside noise. I live on a very busy main road and I can hear traffic from my bedroom. I don't really need the fan for air ventilation, so sometimes it's not even pointed into the room.

I have in the past. From what I understand it is due to nerve damage and my jaw clenching in my sleep. All these hearing aids I'm looking up do is make white noise constantly. Most of the time it's a pretty low level, so I've gotten used to it for the most part. Even if they did work I don't think our insurance covers them. My mom needs normal hearing aids, but they won't pay for much at all.

You might want to also look at Home Depot or Lowe's, they'll have ones meant for drying floors that are basically the same kind I have. Just make sure that wherever you buy it, you read reviews on their website first. If you see a lot of complaints that the fan is too loud, that's the one you want, lol.
