    Tinnitus in my right ear reduced to only slightly hearing it with my ear plugged. Too bad it wasn’t my left ear that has 4 different tones.

    [Danny Boy Memorial Fund] In Loving Memory of Danny Boy

    This is absolutely heartbreaking. I don’t have any type of social media, but I shared the link with several people via text message and asked that those people donate if possible and share the link themselves.

    @Samantha R I am still taking it, but the doctor didn’t call in my refills for some reason so I’m without that and Prozac from yesterday until Monday. The Nortriptyline didn’t help with sleep either though. I’ve never been able to sleep more than 4 or 5 hours max but since getting tinnitus it’s...

    Insomnia is a bitch. I’m going to need the doctor to give me something a hell of a lot stronger than melatonin. It does nothing.

    Going to Be without Meds for a Few Days — Is This Going to Mess Me Up?

    I was prescribed 20mg Fluoxetine and 25mg Nortriptyline daily a month ago when I was in the hospital. The place they referred me to to see a psychiatrist and start therapy is a mess. To make a long story short...I saw someone for intake at this place and then had an appointment a week later...

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    That’s where I ran into a problem. I spent 2 days telling the treatment team over and over again that I didn’t want to have an MRI and didn’t want to take any meds because I was afraid of making tinnitus worse. I told them I would be the one that had to live with the consequences. Because I kept...

    Good point. I have only been taking them for 3 weeks. Hopefully it’s just an adjustment period.

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    They didn’t discuss any of that with me. The audiologist just said my hearing loss doesn’t match up with what she normally sees from noise induced loss and that they could give me hearing aids. The ENT didn’t say much of anything. I was really upset about the hearing loss and in a bad state...

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    I wasn’t questioning the vitamin deficiencies. I’m still taking the supplements they started me on in the hospital. I was questioning the fact that they think the supplements will cure my tinnitus even though I have hearing loss. I don’t agree with them.

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    I’m not sure of exact frequencies. The musical tone is a higher pitch. The other 2 aren't really. Sometimes the one that sounds like a tornado siren makes me think the siren is actually going off in the distance in my town. I have to go outside to make sure it’s just my ears.

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    Yeah that’s what I kept telling them and they just laughed. I don’t know why they think they can cure it.

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    I also want to add that the MRI they basically forced me to have made my tinnitus worse as well, which I told them would happen. I took prednisone afterwards, but didn’t notice a difference. All it did was cause me to have pulsatile tinnitus while taking taking it.

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    All of the tones in my left ear have been twice as loud since I started taking them and my right ear gets a little louder sometimes. Really I guess it could be a coincidence, but I just assume it is the meds because I haven’t changed anything else or been exposed to any loud noise.

    Opinions Anyone?? What Should My Next Move Be?

    This is going to be long. Sorry! I’ve had tinnitus since the beginning of April. I woke up one morning with it in my left ear and had excruciating pain. Three weeks in my left ear changed to 3 tones (a doorbell sound, musical sound, and what sounds like a tornado siren) that I hear all the time...

    Thank you. They kept telling me nothing would happen and it would be fine but I knew it would get worse. No matter how many times I told them I would be the one to have to live with the consequences. If I was suicidal about the level it was at before what makes them think I won’t be twice as...

    Excuse my rant, but I’m mad. When I was in the psych ward at the hospital they wanted me to get an MRI. I kept telling them no because I was afraid the noise would make my tinnitus worse. Because I kept telling them no they started threatening to probate me (go to court and have a judge sign an...

    I just got out of the psych ward after spending a week there. They wanted to refer me to a “tinnitus guru” that could offer me TRT. I cracked up laughing and the doctors weren’t impressed lol

    For the Habituated Folks

    I know you say that most people will learn to ignore the noise and it will become easier to ignore like other every day sounds, but what if you’ve never been able to ignore those sounds? I’ve never been able to ignore sounds like the air conditioner, dish washer, washer, airplanes, etc. I can’t...

    When will they take it seriously? When we start dropping like flies because we can’t take it anymore? It pisses me off because this is debilitating as hell.

    Struggling to Live Life

    I’ve had tinnitus for about 10 weeks now and I’m really having a hard time trying to cope. I think it’s from using earbuds daily for a few months. What makes it worse is that I had never used earbuds or headphones before then. I also have ear pain in my left ear (the worst one), but it also...
