@Sebastians It went down some, but it is still much louder than it was before I took the medication. @racerfish I have the same problem as I am...

@PaulBe Thanks for the info.

@PaulBe I see. I have taken melatonin to help me sleep at night and do notice that is slightly better in the morning after I wake up. My doctor...

@Codaz do you have any experience with antibiotics worsening your tinnitus?

@Hopeful1 I thought it was nerves in the beginning, too. But I am recuperating from the infection and the volume of my tinnitus has stayed at this...

@Sebastians what is NAC?

@Sebastians I am trying. Is there anything you tried to take after the spike to help it calm down?

@Sebastians Mine was 500 MG, twice a day. After the first dose, I could tell something was off because my T went through the roof. It's gotten...

@Sebastians I'm sorry to hear about your spike as well. Do you remember what the dosage or strength of the Amoxicillin was by chance? I've taken...

@PaulBe I agree with your statement. This is scary that a non-ototoxic medication could cause me these types of effects. Any suggestions on what...

@Foncky I certainly hope so. This level of T is driving me nuts.

No, it was not Augmentin. It was Amoxicillin, 500 MG - twice daily. I only took 4 doses and it spiked my tinnitus so badly...I am afraid to ever...

Feel better @glynis

My spikes aren't temporary, though. I find my tinnitus isn't something that I can really habituate to because it's always changing. It's been...

I mean they go back down to some degree, but they always get a little worse than before.

Not really.

I've given up on my music, and it is by far the most unbearable thing I've ever had to do. As a violinist with T and hyperacusis---it's just...

@rhull I am sorry to hear that. I try to avoid medication all together when I can help it. I had to have an MRI a few months ago and the machine...

@Aussie Lea - I just wanted to double check because my tinnitus was through the roof after taking it. @rhull has your tinnitus finally settled...

@MidnightOilAudio - That spontaneous tinnitus also bothers me immensely. My issue is that my tinnitus is super reactive to where I get spikes that...

Hello all, I have really been going through it and getting sick a lot. I had a flu bug about a week and a half ago and it came back with a...

I will have to experiment with different songs and try to figure out what might work. I appreciate your insight @I who love music

@I who love music - Any advice on getting back to music with super bad H and T? I play violin so the instrument even with earmuffs and earplugs...

I am reviving this thread as I just had an MRI and it was absolutely terrible. The technician gave me earplugs and even with washcloths wrapped...

@ceauses97 - Thank you for your positive post. It is so hard to remain positive knowing how bad my tinnitus has increased over the last year. In...

I have some type of terrible flu-like bug and have had take ibuprofen to reduce the fever which has driven my T up considerably...ugh I hope that...

@Carlos - I am sorry you are struggling with your tinnitus. I am only a year in and I can't even begin to think about how my future will be and...

I completely understand your feelings @rubyroseware. Life isn't as enjoyable with tinnitus and it robs us of the peace that we need everyday. It...

@Benjamin Greenberg It is somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one that has quit music due to the same reasons. As a professional...

I would stay away from loud noises and be extremely careful. It may go away provided that you give your ears a break.

@daniel1111 - Thank you for the recommendation, I will have to look more into that. Headphones do seem to make the T louder, so I'm not sure how I...

I never go to movies anymore, or concerts as I have hyperacusis (sensitivity to sounds) along with T.I find that whenever I even go to a loud...

@Lmsdocjeff - Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your message, it has been pretty hectic the past week or so. My boyfriend bought me...

@Telis Different strokes for different folks. I love the silence, for instance, coming home after a long day---all I want to hear is silence....

Anyone have any advice on what earmuffs to buy? I bought a pair on amazon and tried to play music with them but it didn't help, my T spiked again....

@Lmsdocjeff - My job is fairly stressful usually. We are in slow season though, and once the busy season hits in the Spring, I will definitely be...

@vegasjon - Thanks for your insight. Good luck to you as well. @Lmsdocjeff - All I was saying before is that when I am driving or in the shower,...

@vegasjon I'm glad the steroids helped. When I first got my T it was accompanied by nausea and vomiting and lightheadedness, but when I got an MRI...

Can you post the doctor's contact info? It seems very interesting.

@Dutchy - I do try to stay away from loud noises. I haven't really played my violin like I used to or really at all honestly, because of my ear...

@Lmsdocjeff I do not want to give up my music, that's the last thing I want to do. But I really don't know what choice I have when playing my...

@NineNails - I am sorry to hear your T is also very reactive. How long have you had T? Do you have hyperacusis as well? I hate it when people...

Thank you everyone for your responses, they are greatly appreciated. I will try to address everyone's comments individually, if I may. @Michael...

Thank you all so much. It has been very difficult to stay positive, but your words have given me great encouragement. I'm hoping my T will go away...

All these replies are just so heartbreaking. I just got recently diagnosed with tinnitus and I feel the same way. I'm a musican and I can't even...

Thanks for your input. I had my hearing test done by an audiologist at my ENT clinic. She tested my higher frequencies too, if I remember...
