I wish! My tinnitus started as I began to lose the hearing in my left ear. As my hearing loss increased so did the T. My only guess is that it's because of the imbalance between what I hear in each ear. Every now and then my T is suppressed (wish I knew why!) but my hearing is no better. My...

Something is helping, not sure what, but I do know my T is milder now after a spike 3 months ago and it doesn't overwhelm me like it did then. I've wondered if the med's antidepressant effect lessens my perception of T.

10 mg nortriptyline for the past 2 months. One night I forgot to take it and couldn't fall asleep. Got up, took it, and was out within 10 minutes.

Please keep us updated on your results. My T is mostly in my left ear, about a 8.5 kHz hiss. I've found from self testing that I can hear 8.5 fine in my right ear but not in my left. I've had several hearing tests which show age related hearing loss, mostly in the 1.1 kHz range and I have...

Same here - left only - although my right ear joins in from time to time. Are there any right onlies out there?

I'm wondering how behind the ear devices are different than headphones? Are these like hearing aids where a small speaker rests in the ear canal? And do you mean all headphones or just earbuds? Are over the ear headphones different? I'm trying to sort out my options btw, not trying to be...

If you take it more than 3 or 4 days in a row Afrin causes a rebound effect where your sinuses are worse off after 12 hours. I had a sample prescription spray at first but I don't remember the name, only took it a few days, then Flonase for a few weeks. I followed someone's instructions here...

This happened to me 2 months ago. I have a low level hiss all the time anyway in my left ear but I was left with the emergency broadcast system sound after a mild sinus cold. Two things have happened since then - the sound has reduced considerably (but not back to the original level) - and...

I am sorry to read this. I'll cross my fingers it's just something that's easily taken care of.

Thank you for the reminder. I need to do this. My T initially appeared along with moderate hearing loss (I'm 65) but a sinus cold caused it to spike to a hard to ignore tone. Luckily it's settled down somewhat but it's still more intrusive than it was before. I sure don't want to risk...

Medication: Nortriptyline 10 mg Effects: Slightly sedating so it helps me sleep (I take it at bedtime) For the first month or so it helped make T less obtrusive but I've had a few breakthrough episodes in the last few days. I'm going to see my ENT in a few weeks so I'll ask about the dosage...

Thank you for the encouraging words. That is what I am hoping for. This morning it was hardly noticable but it's picked up steam since then.

I'll tag my introduction onto yours - I came to this site by a similar route. I've had low level T for several years but a spike about a month ago sent me to the internet to find a fix. The advice I've found here is the next best thing, especially the links to masking tracks and the...
