Hearing aids have substantially reduced the ringing in my ears. If your hearing loss is severe, they may help. You will know within the first 10 minutes of trying them.
They did put me on Ativan but I only use them when I have a panic/anxiety attacks and I usually just throw a few under my tongue and let them dissolve and it usually does the trick. I haven't had any problems with the Ativan affecting my T in a negative way. Hope this helps...might not be for you.
My doctor tried to medicate me with Duloxetine but I refused when they said it changed my brain chemistry. I went to see them about a year ago because the T caught up with me and I was having panic attacks and hyperventilating and just wanted it away from me(as we all do).
As bad as I hate to Welcome you here I guess your like the rest of us and are desperate to find relief...That being said, Hi, and Welcome to the house of pain. I too am having a bad day (when I dwell on the T) and my mind over matter isn't working today(MOM= mind over matter...if you don't mind it don't matter...LOL). i couldnt post my whole message about the medication thing. Will follow up
