Penelope I'm currently on Zoloft (was on Lexapro for a few months but had to switch due to bad headaches). Zoloft works wonders on my anxiety and depression (and sleeping like a baby as well). After 9 months I can finally say I've habituated to my T and life is rolling along smoothly. I still...

I never did end up filling the rx and changed antidepressants to zoloft. After about 9 months of T, I feel I'm finally over the hump and have habituated to it. It's still as loud as ever but it's not something I focus on 24/7 anymore (except when I'm in a quiet room). I still don't like the idea...

I take motrin or tylonol for my really bad headaches...it doesn't have an effect on my T anymore. It might of in the past but I was also getting on an antidepressant then as well.

Thanks for your words of wisdom Zimichael...interesting point on how it's easy to forget exposure time possibly at a lower level of volume and focus only on the volume of noise at a higher level. What is a safe level for people like us?

Flyfish I definitely think there is a serotonin connection with T and antid's. Looking back, I think my T is louder overall after using lexapro for 4.5 months / now on zoloft for 1 month due to headaches on lexapro. Prior to meds, I don't remember my T being as loud or annoying and I was in the...

Yeah I didn't think a show like that would be so loud though...my mistake. I have no plans to attend concerts and do try to avoid loud places since my T onset. It is a mystery to me as well why T can spike for a few days and then return to your base level....or does on base level just shift and...

I've had numerous tests, including MRI's and VNG's with no findings. I believe my headaches are related to medication and depression but I've moved onto antidepressant #2 with no change in headaches. The headaches make me more depressed (not just because they are painful, my mood actually slips...

So I attended the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show last night (good show btw) and was so happy I remembered to bring some ear plugs with me. The music/drumming/singing was super loud even with my 33db plugs in. My T was raging last night after I got home and is still going strong...

Yes to the first 4 questions, no to the last 2 questions.

John I have that loud hissing noise all the time as well. It's extremely difficult to deal with. I find it much worse in the evenings. The busier I stay the more I can tune it out, but this is still a work in progress since I'm only 7 months in. I'm also on an ssri for depression and that seems...

I just got over my first cold with tinnitus and surprisingly it didn't affect my tinnitus much at all. I was hesitant to use any cold medication though and just roughed it out. Medicines I never thought twice about in the past are now something I'm very careful about using only when I really...

Hey Chum sorry to hear about your job. How are things...any more tests scheduled? I had my VNG and it came back normal...no inner ear vestibular problems to point to the dizziness. Who knows where it's stemming from. The doc said it could of been a virus that attacked my inner ear (although I'm...

Funny I just took motrin this morning and tylonol this evening for a headache that won't go away and now my T is very loud too. I always fear it won't settle down but it normally does. I find that my T and H are much louder when I have headaches for some reason I've yet to understand! I do have...

Ibuprofen increases my T as well but it always goes down after a few days. I need to take it for headaches once in a while since tylonol doesn't make a dent in them, unfortunately.

Hey Tara I use a noise app on the ipad of crickets...it's the only sound that works for me. It helps me get to sleep by focusing on the crickets versus my T.
