Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / May 2005This is tinnitus hell
The hearing in my right ear was lost to a virus in 1991. I have the ringing and high pitched whine. I was able to handle it until I had a sinus infection in early April 2005. Now the noise has increased dramatically. I belong to a southern California hmo. I went to five doctors in three weeks. I became very afraid of night time couldn't sleep, just listen to the roar in my head, drove my wife nuts to see me. My fifth doctor did supply my with meds to sleep. I am waiting to see what happens next.

If this 5th one does not help you, you may want to try the following: (1)take a tablet of gingko biloba each morning for a couple of weeks and see if it does anything for you. It did for me right away. (2)go visit a chiro and get your spine relaxed. (3)lower your pillow when you sleep. (4)talk to your doctor about using one tablet of Betahistine AFTER dinner. It is a very good medicine and non-addictive. Start something simple first. If a doctor wanted to get you into addictive drugs such as Ativan, ask him if he could get you out later on. OK? Stemitude (mis-spelt) once helped me. Talk to your doctor about that. > The hearing in my right ear was lost to a virus in 1991. I have the ringing > and high pitched whine.

I am waiting to see what happens next. Try two meds: klonopin and neurontin. I am having some success as well with accupuncture. Good luck
