Jean,
Got to the doctor today.
He wanted to treat me sinuses, and I had to keep bringing him around to my tinnitus.
I got the distinct impression he was not interesteed.
I told him I needed some measure of progress in trying to find the cause and maybe a *cure*fix* whatever.
I had to impress on him I knew what I was talking about.
He didn't think Ultracet and/or the gauifinicen could have brought it on. I have taken gauifinicen for a while so I agreed with that , but I showed him the warnings that the pharma sent out with the ultracet that 1% did experience tinnitus, and he correctly replied that was a sample of 160 and they took 6 tabs per day.
Maybe I am allergic to it.
The timing was right for it to be the cause.
I am scheduled for an MRI to rule out the nasty stuff. I don't think it will show up anything.
I did get some sleeping pills to help out for a bit.
Noise machine is next.
I guess I will have to come to terms with it over time.
Not looking forward to it.

............does'nt surprise us. We all got the brush off from our dr's.

.............You haven't had tinnitus for too long. I'm sure you'll want to
exhaust all possiblities before having to come to terms with it.
>I did get some sleeping pills to help out for a bit.>Noise machine is next.
.............There are some relaxation and meditation cd's out there like
"Music and Nature, and Thundering Rainstorm that can mask alot of tinnitus
sounds (water, rain, crickets) which may be helpful for you.
good luck - keep us posted
