If your tinnitus is so loud that you require hearing aids with maskers but you can't afford them then the next best thing would be to purchase some noise canceling headphones like the ones that Bose has just announced. Plug it into your iPhone or iPod and select a masking app that masks your tinnitus. You can find pink and white noise apps on iTunes. Before you do this you should seek the advice of an audiologist who can help you to adjust the volume level of the masker so that you don't make your tinnitus worse. If you are suffering from hyperacusis as well as tinnitus then a masker may not be an option for you. The masker may be amplified by the hyperacusis which could make your tinnitus worse.
If you can afford them, hearing aids with maskers are a better option because the masking will be specific to your unique tinnitus and fitted by the audiologist specifically for you.
