New Sleeping/Insomnia Medicine: Dayvigo (Lemborexant) — Here's My Experience
I've been using Dayvigo for a few years now, and it's the best sleep aid I've found so far. It hasn't had any negative impact on my tinnitus, and I don't experience long-term drowsiness the next day. If it could actually lower tinnitus—like Benadryl sometimes does—it would be even better and... -

It's good news and bad news. My musical ear syndrome (MES) usually doesn't bother me when I'm sleeping anymore. However, the bad news is that my tinnitus is now louder and more constant during the day. I used to have periods of quiet throughout the day but not anymore. The only thing that gets...- JayZee

Anyone with MES (Musical Ear Syndrome) / Musical Tinnitus?
I have exactly the same thing happening to me. Even though you think you haven't heard this music before, you probably have and your brain remembers it. Sometimes, when I get stuck on a certain musical pattern and it's been driving me crazy for too long, I try to "change the channel" by... -

Post Your Current Medication / Supplement Stack
It's interesting that Nortriptyline helps you sleep. When I was on it, I couldn't sleep for even 1 minute for 5 straight days. I had to quit taking it. Right after that is when my tinnitus exploded and has never improved. Maybe you'll sleep better without it. I'm using Dayvigo now very... -
Can Pulsatile Tinnitus Be Only Reactive in Nature?
I think we've gotten off topic discussing my abdominal pain. My original question remains whether pulsatile tinnitus can be reactive in nature. For example, this morning my tinnitus was very low. Then I watched a 3 minute video with sound and my tinnitus immediately reacted and increased in...- JayZee

Can Pulsatile Tinnitus Be Only Reactive in Nature?
Hi @Greg Sacramento. Thanks for your quick reply, much appreciated. For starters, my blood pressure is normal; no hypertension. I recently had a hearing test and I believe I have mild hearing loss. The ENT said I was fine for my age but the audiologist tried to sell me some very expensive...- JayZee

Can Pulsatile Tinnitus Be Only Reactive in Nature?
I have had tinnitus (and Musical Ear Syndrome) for about 2 years now. I believe it was triggered by a medication I took briefly (Nortriptyline), but I can’t prove that. My tinnitus is reactive in nature - it is only brought on after some sound exposure. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning...- JayZee

Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Deadlifting: New to All This
Hi @LilSass! I'm a Mississauga resident too and my tinnitus has been getting progressively worse since it first started about 2 years ago. I was hoping that it was either going to go away or remain constant. Of course it took the wrong path and things are worse now in that my tinnitus has...- JayZee

I believe 5 days of Nortriptyline caused my tinnitus almost a year ago. Have you tried Dayvigo / Lemborexant for sleep?
