Hi, for me, I’ve tried these types of topical creams and they’ve always increased my ringing, for about half a day until it is out of my system.

Hi, sorry to hear about your troubles. There is one Sensodyne product which works for me very well, with zero side effects. The rapid repair formula has no potassium nitrate. I have used this daily for years with no problems and no tinnitus spikes. Good luck.

Sorry about your foot problem, from someone who also has foot problems. Instead of pills, I use weekly acupuncture treatments. These treatments are very good at reducing inflammation. You might consider this. Good luck.

Hi, I’ve been using Tums since my tinnitus started 4 years ago without any problems. Good luck.

Hi, I purchased a 6,000 BTU Frigidaire, model FFRE063WA1. It runs well and is relatively quiet for an air conditioner. I also have the 5,000 BTU model. The cost is pretty low as well. Good luck, hope this helps.

Hi, I took one dose of Maxitrol, and stopped. It has elevated my tinnitus already. That is after applying one small drop to one eye. I called my doctor, who now wants me to try Ofloxacin. I’ve used this for other eye problems without any change to my tinnitus. Hopefully the one dose of...

Hi, sorry to hear about your situation. I would try seeing an allergist and getting allergy shots regularly. I’ve done this for 20 years, and this allows me to avoid taking allergy medication. Good luck.

Hi, sorry to hear about your situation. For allergies, I have been taking allergy shots for 25 years, and they help tremendously. My tinnitus started 3 years ago, and the shots haven’t affected my ears. Good luck.

Hi, I’ve used Desenex (Miconazole) and ZEASORB AF powder. It is effective on Athlete’s foot, although both elevate my tinnitus for 7-10 hours. However, my tinnitus always returns to baseline after it is out of my system. To me it seems relatively safe, but the relatively mild spike is annoying...

Hi, I am now 56 hours since my J & J shot. The regular side effects (tiredness in my case) passed about 8 hours ago. The effect on my tinnitus was more noticeable yesterday, although relatively mild. Tonight I would say that the ringing is closer to baseline than it was yesterday. Hopefully this...

Hi, I had the J & J vaccine 42 hours ago. The effects of the shot on my tinnitus have been on and off, fairly mild, somewhat noticeable. I’m assuming that this is due to the effect on my immune system from the shot. At least that’s what a friend who is a doctor thought it could be. I will...

Certain beers don’t spike my tinnitus. Miller Lite and Budweiser don’t bother me. The stronger beers made with better ingredients seem to affect me more.

Hi, my tinnitus was caused by the overuse of Pepto Bismol and possibly using it in combination with Lidocaine cream. I do get spikes due to being exposed to loud sounds, but it has always returned to baseline. The ototoxic damage includes a partial balance problem on my left side.

Hi, I’ve worn a night guard for the entire 3 years that I’ve had tinnitus. It has had no negative effect on my situation. If anything, it has prevented me from grinding my teeth, which would cause dental problems. Good luck.

Hi, after 3 years of tinnitus, what works for me is keeping the iPhone at the lowest volume, and the TV at slightly higher than low volume. Good luck.
