Doctor Visits — Do Other Doctors Prescribe Drugs

[reggie green]

My appt with my ENT she said there's nothing I can do for you she suggested a sleep test and a hearing test. She listened to my story of 22 yrs of Tinnitus and which has spiked recently, advised me to take Lipo Flavonoid (worthless).

She gave me nothing for my sleeplessness or the ringing. Not much has changed in the last 20 yrs as far as Doctors treating tinnitus.

What do other docs do for tinnitus, do they prescribe drugs.

What do other docs do for tinnitus, do they prescribe drugs.

Not for T per se, but to address some comorbidities like insomnia, anxiety, etc.

Hi Reggie.
Im so sorry you got the brush off from your ENT but that is what they seem to be known for.

My GP prescribed clonazepam for my anxiety and it has a very calming effect on my T.
You may want to discuss the medication issue with your GP as they are an authority in the matter.
Hang in there Reggie. Your spike may ease with time. Hope so.
