Just Cleared 4 Months with Tinnitus (Caused by Ramsay Hunt Syndrome)

[DaveN]

Hey all!

I've been stuck with tinnitus for 4 straight months. I know from reading all the posts that many people have endured this for so much longer than I have. Just looking for some encouragement/advice. I woke up with tinnitus one day due to Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and it's been there without stop since.

I've cut back on my alcohol intake significantly, I stay hydrated, I'm trying different vitamins and supplements but none of it really helps (granted it's only been a few months so time will tell).

The only thing that makes it bearable is acoustic neuromodulation, which I'm trying to stay on top of and do for at least 30 minutes every day.

I've had more good days than bad lately, but it kills me when I try to go to sleep, and it's hard to get back to sleep if I wake up in the middle of the night. It sucks.

Any words of encouragement or advice would be appreciated. Has anyone had any success with acupuncture?

On January 22 I celebrated the two year anniversary of hurting my ear. On February 2 I will celebrate the two year anniversary of my tinnitus turning on...
