    Did Zoloft Affect or Cause Your Tinnitus?

    I think i would be ok if Zoloft didn’t work or had no affect. I couldn’t handle it tho if it made my T permanently worse . Guess it’s a case of Russian roulette.

    Life Isn't the Same

    Since onset 4 months ago, I thought I was making progress. My T had lowered in volume and my quality of sleep had greatly improved.

    Spironolactone & Tinnitus Connection?

    Thanks - I did my own research and found that only loop diuretics may be ototoxic ; spiro does not fall under this category. I've also connected with two people who had tinnitus and was on spiro - didn't affect their T one way or the other (but everyone is different and I'm not a doctor..)

    Movie Theaters?!

    I watched The Terminator without ear plugs and it didn't make my tinnitus worse. In fact if anything I had low tinnitus days the following few days. But the reason for my tinnitus is unknown so if yours is due to hearing loss be sensible to not exacerbate the situation. I do not go to clubs...
