Origin of my tinnitus is unknown. At first I got tinnitus in January 2017 during my my sickness (inflammation, high temperature) but it was temporary. Next time I got Tinnitus in June 2017 during my business trips and since then it is with me. I drove a car 8 hours 2 times per week for 7 months. I ate a lot of sweets and junk food. Lately I measured my hearing loss by "PA Tone" and "Simple tone generator" Android apps and I have little hearing loss in right ear at 9 - 12kHz. This is exactly the tone of my Tinnitus. Before treatment Tinnitus was very loud at night when I got sleep. During the day was loud, I could hear it even driving my car. At the moment I have no side effects after iontopheresis with lidocaine. Right now in the office at 16:35 tinnitus is barely noticeable. Yesterday effect of iontopheresis lasted shorter. I hope next days it will last even longer.
In November my ENT prescribed me Cavinton Forte 3x10mg and Agapurin 400mg. She told me to take drugs by 3 months. I had to put them away after few days because these drugs caused insomnia and high anxiety. Sleeplessness and anxiety lasted even few days and nights after stopping taking drugs. I took tryptophan to fall asleep, I could fall asleep for 2 hours on third night after stopping taking drugs. I read a lot of comments that cavinton and agapurin (pentoxifylline) suppose to stop tinnitus. Unfortunately this treatment was not for me.
