Still doing terribly. So bad. Three years and six months. No improvement. Utter horror. Destined for suicide. Sep 16, 2024 at 3:12 PM

      Just got really, really dizzy. Tinnitus is the worst it’s ever been. What’s happening to me?

        Dizziness accompanied by tinnitus may be a symptom of Meniere's disease.

        I think I may have it. It’s 6:30 am here and I was just woken up by a new tone. I think I am soon to be fully disabled.

        In case of Meniere's disease, betahistine is often used to manage symptoms. You could consult your doctor about this.

      Just reading about how tinnitus could be the sensible result of system entropy within the brain. We're all small pieces of a dying cosmos.

        @Pinhead I prolly clicked every fricken link in my Google search result when I got T. You know what I accomplished... Nothing except finding this forum. I got myself more upset, more worried, and more depressed and stressed then ever. I ultimately dont know if it made the situation worse, but it certainly didnt help. Just sayin...

        @Tryn2BHopeful After three tiring, grueling, straining years of this I can only accept that it will get worse, and that I will most likely be housebound or end my own life.

      Magnesium relaxes me, but creates new tones in my ears that subside when the magnesium leaves my system. I can't catch a break.

        What type of magnesium are you taking? Certain kinds affects my tinnitus and others don't. Maybe try some other forms. L-threonate seems to get along with mine.

        @kingsfan Currently taking bisglycinate. I think I've tried L-Threonate, but don't really remember if it had the tones or not. I'll go back to that.

        @ajc There have been plenty of people posting on here who haven’t told people they will all get better or that anyone can do what they do. People who have been talking about taking their lives people with small children people who had been suffering who then say they are doing a bit better, get oh you're only doing better because your mild and that you should of expected that.

        I am with @Jupiterman. I also do not believe that people would be that selfish, not after such trauma. Therefore I think many are gone from this world, at least severe cases.

        @InfiniteLoop I love music. Unfortunately my main issue is this strange screeching most broadband sound causes. It takes any enjoyment out of music for me (and turns my vinyl collection into a dust collection). The only thing I can really listen to is violet noise or running water.

      The hardest part of this is hearing loved ones speak about how you’re “going through” this and telling them that there is no “through”.

      Perhaps try something holistic. If you have a loved one to give you a head and temple massage, that will help. If you can afford to pay for one, then givevit a try. Saunas and steam baths, anything that can relax you. If your capable of exercising then do thus till exaustion. Good luck , prraying for you

        Thanks. I was a routine gym-goer up until three weeks ago when I walked into the gym lobby and was gifted a new tone. Now the lobby is an area of trauma for me.

      Are there any anxiety or depression medications that are assuredly safe for tinnitus sufferers? The doctors haven't answered me.

        Honestly not really. There are some that are "Better" than others but almost all of them have a disclaimer for Tinnitus on them.. I take Mirtazapine for sleep so far nothing has changed that I am aware of. Escitalopram was a no go for me obviously (I believe it caused my T), but it works fine for others. Wish I had a better answer for you.

        It seems the SSRIs and SSNRs have the most incidence of tinnitus. TCAs are apparently safer in that regard. I never had an issue with Nortriptyline affecting tinnitus. There's Wellbutrin (bupropion), which can cause it. Buspirone (BuSpar) can cause it. Mirtazapine and Trazodone seem to have lower likelihood of causing tinnitus, but there's no guarantee with any of them.

      Was just awoken by a tone of about 3000KhZ in the middle of the night. Really, really loud. It lasted about 5 minutes. Both ears screaming.

        Sounds familiar @Pinhead as I've been there. It got gradually better with rest at first, then getting in soothing, natural noises - combined with counselling/CBT. If there is an audiologist you could make an appointment with, that works with h and t, I'd looked into that option asap.

        I had the same the first couple of months. It got better as long as I didn't over protect. Loud fans and road noise still bug me but not like they did.
