Not many places give free samples of medical devices.
You can however, try this hearing aid site with a commitment to pay IF you aren’t satisfied and return it within 30 days. I have no idea of the reliability of the product nor of the ethical behavior of the company but here’s the link:\
I’m sure that you have read what you can about other forms of treatment for tinnitus but just in case, here is a comprehensive hearing site:
You will find lots of information about hearing aids at the site as well. Do read about supplements you can try.
The answer to your question about whether this will work for you is maybe. That is because tinnitus has a number of causative factors and may suddenly abate on its own. But you can read more about that here where they report that 6/10 people found some relief and 2/10 found major relief.
I do have a question, if a truck fell on you, was this accident not covered by some insurance?
Please note that different hearing aids work in slightly different ways for different hearing problems. Please check the links provided.
Good luck with this - I **** tinnitus - I’d rather have pain.
Addendum:
Oops - just checked for scams because something did’t feel right about the Lee Majors bionic ear and you’d better take a look at this item from the Ripoff Report:
So I opened the Songbird link and found that you can get a free trial - and they do seem to be reputable:
While it isn’t as pretty or easy to wear - you can cancel and you can get an idea about whether a discreet and more expensive hearing aid is in your future.
By the way - my husband has tried these and found that they do help but they are kind of awkward to wear. They are a reasonably priced product for a trial. And if it doesn’t work…
Which puts things back to square one. However, you might try the SongBIrd - find out that a hearing aid might not or might help and go from there.
Hearing aids come in several price ranges actually - you might not be in for that much $,$$$ but you need to be sure to check the references and better business records of any store from which you finally make that kind of purchase. Read all of the fine print too.
Have you tried any of the hearing aid places in your area? That is the logical first place to check - not for freebies but for a chance to find out if it will help - there are several price levels and you don’t have to pay $6K necessarily.
