Hi, i am a 16 year old male, and my tinnitus began near the end of januaray 2016. It never seemed to stop. My tinnitus seemed to be a sudden onset. One day, my ears just felt muffled and stuffed,and the high pitched ringing started.
Over the past month i've been to my GP around 3 times, and each time i went there he prescribed some sort of medicine. The first medicine was amoxicillin, which didn't help at all. Next he gave me prednisone and another medicine, which i forgot the name. During that week of using prednisone, i felt less anxious and depressed about my tinnitus, but tinnitus still plagued me. During the last visit, i told him that i felt better ( i shouldn't have), so he said to wait it out, and if it still persits i should go and see him again. After 2 weeks i still have tinnitus, and its starting to make me feel anxious and depressed again, and i dont know if i will ever recover from it.
I really need help to overcome this hindrance because i dont want it to affect my school life as i have been doing really well over the past few years. I really dont want tinnitus to ruin my grades because i cant seem to focus in school over these few weeks. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
