@Forever hopeful, sounds like you're in a good position, as far as treatment goes. Good luck! (And don't try to "be tough and wait it out" like me. That was my biggest mistake, waiting several months to address it with the doc...) My ENT didn't even do that. Just bounced me off to the...

I can only enjoy anything when I have enough background music to distract me. I usually play nature sound generators when I want to lounge and read. I thought the same thing while reading that brochure. True, but not very compassionate. And I'm planning on requesting a consult at Henry Ford...

The spikes truly suck, but it's easier to manage to you understand what caused them. For me, I'm pretty sure it was a combination of poor diet and disruption in schedule. And 3 weeks in could very well be temporary, but definitely talk to your doc about it thoroughly, if you haven't yet. It's a...

Lol. I like to think of it as "listening to radio waves" sometimes. I did, for a while. She was very helpful with some of the other issues in my life, like anxiety and marital problems, but eventually told me that when it came to T, "I just don't know how to help you." Not sure how to find...

I have a mostly-consistent hissing tone that I hear constantly (sounds like an electrical hum from an old tube TV, but louder), and that's what bothers me the most. It's in both ears, but usually louder in the right. I also get pulsatile T when it's really quiet, or I'm nervous.

So I've had T for about a year. It started the same time I started taking Wellbutrin for depression; foolishly, I kept taking it for 4 months, during which the T kept getting worse. In January I quit, but nine months later, the T is still blazing away. My primary care provider was just...

Hey Lynn, thanks for your response. I quit the Wellbutrin 4 months ago; the T only improved marginally after quitting. I think my counselor was using CBT to treat my depression/anxiety, but for the T, she has no advice to offer. :/ (Which is strange; you'd think chronic illness is something...

I've had constant T for a good 7 months now, likely the result of taking Wellbutrin for depression. My audiologist/neurologist just prescribed Pamelor (nortriptyline) for me, hoping it will ease the symptoms. I've been on it for 3 days, and honestly my T just seems even worse. :( But I don't...

So I went for a follow-up visit with a doctor at an ear clinic yesterday. I saw him three months ago, and he was convinced that starting Wellbutrin was what caused my tinnitus; he said that after I stopped taking it, it would go away. Well, it's been three months since I quit, and the buzzing is...

Hey everyone, it's me again. I thought I was on a solid upswing for a while; three weeks off the Wellbutrin and the T had diminished quite a bit. It was down to just an "annoying" level, and having just one fan or some soft music on kept it from bothering me much, which was a massive...

Thanks for the comments everybody. :) Billie, I like the idea of wireless ear buds, though I'm not sure I could wear them at work. I've told my boss about the T though, and she's been fairly understanding so far. I may ask about that if I can't get a masking device. Deb, I'm starting to work...

Thanks Jeff and HThom4, I appreciate the optimism. :) I'm actually already on an AD, and I think that might be the primary cause of my T; it started right when I started taking it. Apparently T is a fairly common side effect of Wellbutrin (6% of people get it), wish I'd known that 4 months...

Thanks everybody. I recognize that I'm still in the "panic" stage, and hopefully I will be able to start habituating soon, especially if the clinic can guide me on that, while also getting some maskers for work. My visit isn't until the end of the month though. I wonder if anti-anxiety...

Hey everybody, I'm Sam, 26, and I've had tinnitus for going on four months now. It started when I simultaneously caught a mild cold and started taking Wellbutrin, not sure which caused it (though I went off Wellbutrin for a week and it didn't alleviate anything). It's been getting gradually...
