    Did Zoloft Affect or Cause Your Tinnitus?

    I think i would be ok if Zoloft didn’t work or had no affect. I couldn’t handle it tho if it made my T permanently worse . Guess it’s a case of Russian roulette.

    Life Isn't the Same

    Since onset 4 months ago, I thought I was making progress. My T had lowered in volume and my quality of sleep had greatly improved.

    Spironolactone & Tinnitus Connection?

    Thanks - I did my own research and found that only loop diuretics may be ototoxic ; spiro does not fall under this category. I've also connected with two people who had tinnitus and was on spiro - didn't affect their T one way or the other (but everyone is different and I'm not a doctor..)

    3 Months In and I Am MUCH BETTER!

    I developed tinnitus April 2015 so it's been roughly 3 months for me too. I went through all of the same shock, depression and suicidal thought . Fast forward to today I'm doing much better ..

    Movie Theaters?!

    I watched The Terminator without ear plugs and it didn't make my tinnitus worse. In fact if anything I had low tinnitus days the following few days. But the reason for my tinnitus is unknown so if yours is due to hearing loss be sensible to not exacerbate the situation. I do not go to clubs...

    Tinnitus Returned After 4 Months of Being Almost Tinnitus Free

    @Kittyl my T fluctuates a lot ! At one point I had 6-7 different T sounds going and some sounds are easier to mask than others. Thankfully at present time my T is quite low so I'm getting some decent sleep but otherwise I've gone 6 days without sleep before .

    Unsure Cause, Worst Went Away, But What Remains Is Still Constant.

    My tinnitus started suddenly without any obvious apparent reason either. I was obsessed about finding out the cause but its impossible for anyone to say. Even the ENT i pay alot of money to see cannot give me straight answers. If your T is improving then I think that is the only thing that...
