Tinnitus for 2 Years: I Was Fully Habituated — A Month Ago Things Got Worse

[ColdHands]

Hi everybody, I'm Marta, 36 years old from Italy.

I have had tinnitus for 2 years and I was fully habituated, but a month ago I started to hear a strange sound like beep beep beep, over white noise, for example over a fan and also over car sounds.

Later I also started to hear a sound like an ambulance siren that bothers me a lot.
Normally I don't hear these sounds at night or I hear them very distantly.

I have been taking Vortioxetine for about 2 years for depression but I never had any problems with tinnitus.

Do you have any advice for me?

Thanks,
Marta

P.S. I would also like to have advice from @Michael Leigh if possible

Hi, sorry to hear your plight. I would consider yourself lucky that these sounds do not emerge at night as at least for me, that's when the trouble starts. If you think it's the medication, definitely consult with your doctor before making any changes as it could make it worse. Hopefully these new sounds go away in a few months. Seems like there's a decent chance that could happen. Good luck!
