Hi there, It's been a while since I posted... believe it or not, there is a life after tinnitus. I have a question though. I've been on Zoloft for depression for a long time. In the past few months, my insomnia has become the worst it's ever been so my doctor is wondering if the Zoloft is...

I took Amitriptyline for 2 days for insomnia at a relatively low dose of 25 mg. It didn't help with the insomnia so I quit it but 2 or 3 days later, I noticed tinnitus in my good ear. I've had tinnitus in my bad ear for some time but never in my good. I'm just wondering if this will go away...

Are there any antibiotic ear drops that are safe? My GP prescribed neomycin, polymyxin and hydrocortisone drops for my ear that had an earache in it a few days ago. On day 3, tinnitus started. I'm really afraid to take them (drops). She said my eardrum looked normal. She removed some wax...

Hi, I don't get to this forum very often these days, off to even more interesting and disturbing health issues it seems like deafness and heart problems. Anyway, I took Augmentin 825-125 mg or a sinus infection over the weekend. I only took 3 pills. 1 on Friday night and 2 on Saturday. I woke up...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a while as I've become pretty good at dealing with my tinnitus. I had an experience yesterday though that is throwing me for a loop and I could use your feedback badly. Until 2 years ago (2014), my hearing loss was pretty stable. It was very gradually getting...

Hello, I'm on Effexor for anxiety and depression. My doctor told me that tinnitus is not listed as a side effect of Effexor. Doing my own search, it appears tinnitus is a side effect although not common. I've experienced a rise in tinnitus using both Zoloft and Effexor as the dosage increases. I...

Hello and thanks for your help. I've read other posts that say if you have to be on an antidepressant, Zoloft is not a bad choice. I've been on it for two years. 2 weeks ago I had to up the dose due to anxiety and depression. I've noticed an increase in my tinnitus though and I'm more worried...

Hi all, I started singing with the band at my church this past January. I have a moderate hearing loss and tinnitus and wear hearing aids. This has been the first time I've sung with electric guitars, drums and general amplification. A couple weeks ago, I noticed that I was hearing some tinnitus...

Hello everyone, I haven't dropped by in a long time due to other more pressing health issues. Yes, it's true, you can have more pressing health issues but I know last year at this time there was nothing more important than the never ceasing noise in my head. I know I should give an update and I...

Hi, it's been a long time since I've been here. There's nothing like another health crisis in another part of your body to take your mind off of tinnitus and that's where I've been. I'm actually doing very well with the tinnitus. My story is that my tinnitus spiked last January in response to a...

What do you guys do when your T wakes you up early in the morning? At first, I could take a klonopin and sleep through the night but pills aren't working anymore.

Hi Dr. Nagler, I know you must receive a lot of messages so I thank you for reading mine. Last night was tough. Nights often are but last night was wicked. I wondered if you could shed any light on this problem and a couple of related questions. My tinnitus becomes louder at night the moment I...

Hi, I'm doing much better since my tinnitus became worse this past January but I still struggle with it. Sometimes I just feel angry and I grieve that I have a new and more annoying tinnitus to live with. I think about the meds I took that brought this on and just wish I had never taken them. I...

Hello everyone, I've done a lot to reclaim my life from T in the past weeks but sometimes, it just gets the best of me and leaves me wondering if something else is wrong. I'm worn out. Before this T spiked, I was sleeping like a baby after years of fighting insomnia. I'm an older lady, I hate...

I know myself and a few others are in the situation of having to or wanting to habituate to T for a second time after their T got worse. I thought some positive stories from people who had to go through this and were fine again after a while would be great to hear right now. I know there are...

Hi, I know this subject has been explored before but I'm not sure I can write the fullness I feel in my ear off to tinnitus like my ENT has suggested. I on and off get a feeling of pressure/fullness in just one of my ears along with mild pain. When my ENT looked he said the ear looked perfectly...

Hi, my Thread title basically says it all. I was just wondering what a visit to a neurologist might accomplish. I thought a neurologist might be a good idea because they specialize in nerves and the brain. My husband had debilitating vertigo which thank the good Lord, I don't, but it was a...

As a lot of you already know, I'm in the middle of a sort of "relapse." I recalled a book I ordered 9 years ago when I first experienced tinnitus that helped me. I was able to put my fingers on it almost as soon as remembering it last night. In my house, that's a kind of miracle in itself LOL...

Hi, I'm writing through tears. I thought I'd try to sleep without Klonopin or sleeping pills last night just to see if I could. I woke up every hour or two to the horrible ear and head buzzing and ringing. I just can't believe how loud it is, it just blows my mind and I'm just sure in the wee...

Hi all, I've posted a few times so some of you will know that I've had tinnitus for about a decade but it just recently got worse. It's only been about a month since my T got louder so I'm kind of at square one again with habituation. One of the changes in my T is that it is a lot louder at...

Hi, In the last couple of weeks, I've developed much worse tinnitus than I've ever had in the past. I've talked about this in another post. At night, I have tried listening to nature sounds and music but it hasn't helped at all. I wake up with a noise so intense and loud that I can't believe...

Hello, I'm new here but have already received wonderful support from this community. People are positive and that's what I need for sure. I'm writing about the most difficult time of day I'm having with this new T. At night my head is full of a loud drone. It really seems like it's in my head...

Hello, Tinnitus is not new to me, I've had it in my right ear for 9 or 10 years but 2 weeks ago, it started in my left ear for the first time, and my right ear got worse. When I first developed tinnitus, I went though everything new tinitus sufferers experience. I was obsessed with it, scared...
