The big question is, when people experience a Tinnitus "spike" which they attribute to medication not listed as ototoxic, is that medication causing damage to the cochlear or is the medication affecting neurology causing the tinnitus to be sensed.
It's an interesting theory, it explains why TRT works, could explain why some drugs are ototoxic and other drugs can increase tinnitus yet not be ototoxic.
But I thought the prevailing view here is that tinnitus is caused by hearing loss?
