  • My doctor put me on trazodone for my insomnia, is this safe with tinnitus to take??
    Lilah
    I took trazadone for about 6 months when I first got tinnitus. It started to wear off/not work as well so I transitioned to over the counter sleep aids. I used sound pillow for awhile, but for almost a year now I only use a box fan or white noise machine, no pills. Tinnitus has not improved since onset.
    I went outside to try and get some fresh air and listen to the rain and thunder was so loud now my tinnitus is worse,, having a panic attack
    Suffering a spike from having covid. Possibly the worse my t has ever been, been so panicked the past couple days like crazy
    Haven't been able to sleep peacefully for days now, my ringing has started up pretty bad again and idk what to do
    What was the cause of your tinnitus? If headphone usage and you're new, don't wear headphones, invest in some over the ear muffs and ear plugs.
    GSC
    Allow your ears the chance to adjust. Stress can heighten it, try some mag, some nac, wear ear plugs or muffs whenever your ears clench or seize over too loud noises. Protection will be your best friend since your ears have been harmed by acoustics. Be mindful of some every day sounds like clapping, yelling, vacuums etc.
    GSC
    Do not take oxytocins.
    Currently suffering from the loudest my tinnitus has ever been, I can't do this anymore,, I can't breathe

    I'm so sorry :( I know how you feel, I'm dealing with similar problem right now. You are so young - you have a chance to improve.
    This spike has been the worst.. I can't sleep, everything is interrupted by it.. I'm so stressed out, I feel depressed because I can't relax
    Tweedleman
    hang in there. regenerative medicine is on its way.. just taking its sweet time
    I haven't really slept in two days and my t is booming, I hear a bunch of different noises at once I hear it over everything.. I'm so scared
    I haven't been active recently, but my t is still very bad. I started my period today, a few days ago it started to spike again, so loud..

    @Tanni i actually have always wanted to try water for masking, I just don't know where to get such a thing. Water is always relaxing to me too.
    T
    I have a small water feature in the garden, and to sleep I just typed 'running water' into YouTube :)
    Mercury.inxu
    @Tanni i might try that! I've been wanting some sort of small fountain for my bedroom since the sound is so relaxing, but I have no idea how expensive that might be lol
    I have another pimple in my ear, and it hurts bad, ears completely red and my t is off the charts. What should I do?
    Bill Bauer
    If there is a chance that you have an ear infection, see a doctor about it. Bring the list of ototoxic medications with you and ensure that what they prescribe to you isn't on that list. You might also want to paste the name of the medication into the search box on this forum, to ensure there aren't many horror story involving that drug.
    I just went out to go see my grandparents and just got home. My t is super super loud and I'm in a panicked state,, please make it stop,,
    Really frustrated with my mom because she always cracks the window while on the highway, I need an Ativan bc I'm freaking out
    It too a point where I don't know what to do anymore. It loud enough that I cannot sleep, I can't lay down, nothing blocks the sound
    Tinnitus has got me doing an all nighter again,, it's really loud, I usually can't hear it over my fan,, but I can now,,
    Mercury.inxu
    Since quarantine I think I actually have insomnia, at this point it's not just my schedule being wack, no I'm like.. actually staying up way too long and not being able to sleep until I just pass out
    I've found that my Ativan improves my ringing, but then the next day it's wayy worse. I'm not sure what to do, only thing that helps anxiety
    Tweedleman
    I feel you, Klonopin is the only thing that helps my anxiety. It doesn't seem to help the ringing for me though :(
    Tavia R
    oh been there honey, hope you figure it out
    Mercury.inxu
    @Tweedleman @Tavia R im not sure if I should stop taking it or not,, because If I'm honest I really really need it, my anxiety has been spiking horribly lately
    It's been so loud recently, I don't know what to do anymore. Nothing masks it, absolutely nothing. I'm anxious,, stressed,, exhausted,,
    Currently doing an all nighter, haven't slept in about 24 hours. My tinnitus has been so loud it's difficult to sleep.
    I think my tinnitus actually gets worse when I get pimples in my ear, and I get them frequently. Anyone else? Is it some sort of irritation?
    Really loud today, unsure why, but I'm not sleeping, I can't, it's very very loud
    Tweedleman
    did your infections all clear up? hope things get better for you. maybe you could try amitriptyline or nortriptyline for sleep. It's an AD but is commonly prescribed in low doses to just function as a sleep aid.
    Mercury.inxu
    @Tweedleman my infections have cleared, but I notice pressure in my ears still persists in my ears at times. I'll also have a few days where it's not noticeable, and then others where it's so loud I can't focus
    Mercury.inxu
    In fact rn I fear leaving my room because I know I'm the bathroom it's really loud and causes panic attacks
    Tinnitus got louder tonight out of the blue, my guess is it's from anxiety, since it's been bad recently. I've been taking Ativan.
    Haven't been sleeping well at all, it's loud enough to hear over my humidifier and it's making me very uneasy,, I really hope this ends soon
    Bill Bauer
    You might want to play the sound of crickets. They work well for a high pitch tone.

    You might also consider taking Amitriptyline.
    Could my spike be from menstruation? I started today, but my spike started a few days ago, can that happen?
    Kriszti
    I think, yes. Doesn't effect me, but there are threads here about how hormones can cause increase in T.
    Mercury.inxu
    @Kriszti that would make sense, considering it always spikes at this time of the month a couple days before my period, and I have really bad periods
    I just took a hemp gummy bear so I could calm down and hopefully sleep, but now it's louder? I've taken them before,, never had an issue?
    H
    Cannabis almost always equals a temporary spike.
    Mercury.inxu
    @HeavyMantra i have heard that, I just find it odd Bc I've been taking them for a while and never had this happen previously
    I really hope this spike starts to calm back down soon, I can only assume it's from stress from the pandemic. But I can't sleep right at all
    Ears are ringing so loud I'm officially back in my panicked state. I hate this so muchh,,
    Mercury.inxu
    It's not that I wanted to take the ibruprophen either, I took it twice bc the Tylenol just does nothing for headaches for me, and I was feeling like I was gonna vomit from this one, it's just frustrating? What else should I take for a migraine?
    Mercury.inxu
    Like I used to do excedrin, but that has A LOT of caffeine, which not only can I not have bc of my t, but also bc of my anxiety and adhd, I feel like I'm having a heart attack when I have caffeine
    Mercury.inxu
    Also sorry for commenting a lot!! But I'm also getting loud pops in my ears again when I swollen, Idk if I have etd or not, tried to see an ent but covid has everything messed up rn and we missed it
    Tinnitus spiked over the last couple days, I assume bc I took ibruprophen for my migraine, I tried Tylenol but it didn't work, bad headache
    Curious if yogurt is bad with tinnitus? I take probiotics that basically have the same ingredients as yogurt, and I wanna make sure it's ok
    H
    Some people experience temporary spiked from dairy, others don't. You'll learn your own triggers in time
    Bill Bauer
    I am one of the people whose T seems to spike whenever I eat any dairy products. It sounds like you haven't experienced spikes following eating yogurt. In that case I think you don't need to worry about it.
    I think I may have found my number one white noice last week— a huge fan on high, I could hear it a little but the fan drained it out so wel
