    Prescribed Skin Cream (Ketoconazole) — Is It Ototoxic?

    I don’t want to speak negatively about a helpful drug but I found Ketoconazole made my tinnitus really spike. I was using only the cream, not oral, and there was still a definite spike. Thinking I may have my doctor prescribe a heavy oral dose for a week and suffer through it instead of...

    Hi everyone, Along with a real problem with loud and intrusive tinnitus over the last year, I was recently diagnosed with moderate COPD. I’m having a very difficult time with anxiety and depression with these things hitting me all at once. I’m contemplating going on an antidepressant to help...

    Tinnitus Spike in My Good Ear. Now Both Ears Screaming. Sounds Like Waves Screeching.

    i grieve when seeing people in earbuds listening to music, talking or whatever. I cannot wear them with my T the way it’s been for over a year. Oh well, such is life I guess.

    Ambien (Zolpidem) Experiences?

    Im still trying to figure out why after taking my nightly dose of Lunesta my T lowers by at least half. Is if because hypnotics are related to benzos that have been known to lower T? I cannot believe it’s purely my anxiety coming down after taking and would love to know if it’s a chemical...

    Up and Down with Emotions and High-Pitched Tinnitus

    I’ve had high pitches tinnitus for about 5 1/2 months now. I’ve identified it as around 12 kHz It seems to react to sounds of paper, silverware, “s’s” in peoples words make it seem like it’s electrically shocking my nervous system.

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    I have had severe tinnitus for 5 months and just went on Prozac 11 days ago. It's been such a roller coaster with my T and I'm now becoming paranoid that the Prozac is making the T worse? I'm so anxious from these last 5 months that I'm not sure if it's in my head. Could this just be me getting...

    Lunesta (Eszopiclone) and Much Lower Tinnitus Volume

    It seems to bring it down about a half hour after I've taken it. This of course makes it easier for me to get to sleep. Maybe I'm having a placebo effect but not entirely sure. Grate, wasn't aware of how closely benzo's and z drugs had in common but it makes sense. I was on Valium for awhile...

    Lunesta (Eszopiclone) and Much Lower Tinnitus Volume

    I’ve had extreme loud volume tinnitus along with Hypercusis for 4 and a half months now. It is a nightmare to say the least. There is a sleep med I’ve been taking for years called Luntesta and I swear it brings down the symptoms by about half. It’s like a godsend that it’s working with me that...

    3 Months and Counting

    Hi everyone, first time poster here, glad this place exists. It’s coming up on 3 months since my head exploded and I have a searing hot frequency screaming through my ears that flares and intensifies at any kind of “s” sound or bags crushing of silver wear clanking. It’s excruciating and...
