Update: I posted on taking 10 mg Amitriptyline a bit before bedtime, along with about 10 mg or so of Diphenhydramine. I didn't want to be on the latter, so I got off it last summer. Since then, I've had considerable success with this: 1. 10 mg Amitriptyline an hour before bedtime, two or three...

Just a follow up on my post above of a couple months ago. I believe Amitriptyline helped. Now, long after the month or so that I was on it (10 mg with 12 mg Diphenhydramine nightly), my tinnitus is consistently lower in volume on average than before, and it doesn't spike to the high volumes...

I'm ending my trial (described above) of this cocktail: Amitriptyline (10 mg) + Diphenhydramine (12 mg) nightly. It kept my tinnitus a little lower than just the Diphenhydramine alone did. But I didn't like the feeling of being slightly drugged. I discovered that the Amitriptyline alone doesn't...

Yes, it's insane, the pricing. Totally meaningless. One place here will do the scan for $1,700. The other place will do it for $289. Keep calling around. You'll also need a radiologist to interpret the scan, so see if that's included in the price.

I had a nasal endoscopy three weeks ago. Found nothing, unfortunately. Cost $800, unfortunately. I'm getting a CT scan of my sinuses next week. I got tinnitus ten years ago in my left ear when I had a bad sinus infection on the left side. The left sinuses have felt a little blocked up ever...

Rockman, if you haven't done so, I suggest you go to an ENT and ask for a nasal endoscopy and a CT scan.

Ah. Thanks. That's an excellent clue. I don't happen to know my tinnitus frequency or how high she tested. Plus, I'm a bassist so what the heck do I know about crazy high frequencies. Okay, just checked. Never checked in all these ten years. It's right at 7,226 Hz, just by my unskilled check...

Thanks, but when I got the tinnitus simultaneously to a sinus infection, the audiologist found no hearing loss in the tinnitus ear. She reported "no hearing loss, idiopathic tinnitus." I asked her what she meant. She said that "idiopathic" meant that I have tinnitus and there was no detectable...

Has anyone experienced or heard of this? My tinnitus started ten years ago in my left ear after a sinus infection that was mostly in my left sinuses. I went to an audiologist who found nothing wrong with my hearing. I saw the graphs. They were flat: good hearing at the various frequencies...

No, he only helped me understand what my problem was in just one visit. He talked me through it and helped me understand that tinnitus is the cause of my problem (bad mood, feeling as though I slept poorly), rather than a symptom. I told him, "No, I don't mind that sound. I ignore it. It's just...

I'm sorry to hear this, DoesItStop. I suggest you get a hold of Dr. Chris Winter (Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine): neurologist and sleep doctor. He's in Virginia but can do a remote appointment via internet. I thought a lot of my tinnitus might be due to a sleep disorder and had an...

It was just like a noisy air conditioner or industrial machine that you "tune out" and ignore. I didn't seem to mind it at all. "I don't mind that stupid sound," I told the docs. But I noticed that my mood would go up and down with the volume of the tinnitus. So, if I would get up in the...

Hi, all. Anyone have similar levels into which you put the degrees of tinnitus severity? I'd be interested to hear anyone having similar experience. I'm sure there are many threads on this sort of thing in this forum. Here's the way it seems to me, using scale of 0 to 10. In ten years I've only...

Update on my post above. I would love to hear any feedback from anyone having similar experience with anticholinergics, in particular Diphenhydramine and Amitriptyline. I had neglected to mention that I was using Diphenhydramine, too, along with the new addition of Amitriptyline. Elated with...

Amitriptyline: Two weeks ago my ENT gave me low-dose (10 mg/day) Amitriptyline (to be taken a bit before bedtime) because it has helped some of his patients. After three days my tinnitus went to near zero and has stayed there. I'm going to talk to my ENT about perhaps reducing the dose a bit...
