Use your mouthguard! I have one, I know — the cleaning is annoying. But it really helps with snoring and tinnitus, and also it takes a few days for somatic tinnitus to recede, as it is a stronger inflammatory response than most GPs think.

You have two types of tinnitus: somatic and sensorineural (hearing loss). While science is still trying to figure out the sensorineural type, most common cases of sudden tinnitus are due to anxiety, stress, acid reflux or involuntary excessive tension of the neck, trapezoid or back muscles, as...

If you haven't already, try Sertraline 25 mg, which is an antidepressant but also has a powerful action over tinnitus. You could also potentially consider that fact that your tinnitus is somatic (unconscious clenching of the jaw) — it is reported that during sleep, jaw clenching may reach...

I have found the combination of 25 mg Sertraline (Zoloft) and 5 mg Pro-Zopiclone for 3 months completely shut my tinnitus down. The Pro-Zopiclone (a non-benzodiazepine) helps with sleep and tone down the tinnitus, and for some reason it seems that after 3 months, Sertraline had a inhibitory...

Doing better!

Hi RingerHisser! I took 5mg Imovane (generic name Pro Zopiclone). By itself it can massively tune out the tinnitus and improve your sleep.

Hi everyone, So I've had tinnitus since September 6, 2021, when I felt a fullness in my ear and it all started there, out of nowhere. It's unclear how or why it started — antidepressants for chronic insomnia? Stress? Neck problems? I don't know and it doesn't matter so much anymore. I had been...

Thanks for your comments, @Stacken77! At any rate, I just want people to know every case is different, and that it's better for them to start with hope and eventually seeing how it all resolves, rather than feeling hopeless or anxious from the start. I think seeing a doctor is always the best...

Hello. I have a certain form of tinnitus. I won't tell you which, or how I got it. I'm going to rather help you think objectively so you can relieve yourself of any anxiety, panic, or unnecessary worries. First know this: Going to a forum is an idea, and I'm glad such a forum exists. But it's...

Hi @Lane, I'm afraid I didn't make a good decision, but I'm not sure. After trying Effexor for 5 days, I find that I've gotten very anxious daily as the initial onset of medication creates anxiety for a certain period of time. During these daily anxiety periods I get so anxious it's difficult...

Hello everyone, I'm starting Effexor XR, as prescribed by my doctor, to help me cope better with my 6-week old tinnitus condition. I've tried doing without it, and things seemed better for awhile. However, starting medication yesterday caused a perceptible spike in my tinnitus. I've been told...

Hi everyone, Some new information on my radar. I realized yesterday that my tinnitus might not be coming from medication or stress. I have been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for only a few weeks, when on a particular roll night ("rolling" means practice in BJJ), someone gave me an aggressive...

Yes, if it vanished once, it will disappear again. I see you've had TMJ disorders in the past, so you can be CERTAIN that stress has probably caused you to clench your jaws again as you sleep, tense your back and neck muscles, and give you a certain level of anxiety. It'll certainly go away in...

Thanks for your insights and recommandations everyone. @Lane, I especially liked your objective post and links. While the situation has been quite alarming for me when it started (and to this day still makes me a little hypervigilant and sad at times) but 6 weeks in, I find that the tinnitus...

Thank you @Stacken77. May I ask which safer anti-anxiety drug you use? I occasionally use Ativan, but I want to stay away from it as much as possible. For now I'm using Flexeril, a muscle relaxant which seems to improve my somatosensory tinnitus experience. I can only use it for 2-3 week (I...

Hello everyone, I've started experience tinnitus on September 7, 2021. I'm unsure if it came from either: - Using 15mg Remeron (Mirtazapine) for 2 weeks and stopping over 6 days. I initally took Remeron for insomnia and dealing with a stressful event. - Dysfunction of C1, C2 vertebrae from a...
