What brand and style are they. Any info is appreciated.
The brand and style doesn't matter. What matters if that your hearing is corrected. A qualified licensed audiologist (as opposed to a hearing aid salesman) can make sure you are matched with the right type and give you brand options. Some hearing aids are -only- amplifiers. You might find relief with those. Or your hearing loss might require something more complex, and simple amplifiers won't help.

There is no "cure" for tinnitus. But there is a treatment for it. And that treatment is hearing aids. That treatment only works if the tinnitus is caused by the hearing loss (which it is, in most cases).
