I mentioned it to my reg. doctor and he said many different things can cause it, including some medicine, even Pepto Bismol.
In my case, I didn’t have it until that incident with the jet fly over.
That’s what mine sounds like. High pitched and gets louder at night. Does that make sense? I am trying out leaving the tv on all night to be able to sleep.
It worked, last night was the first night I slept all night since Jan.
As a former U.S. Air Force corpsman I did hearing tests on Air Force pilots and crew chiefs.
The hearing damage was phenomenal.
Thanks!! I’ve had tinnitus for many years with many of the symptoms shown. I understood that it was primarily from stress and have been on different antidepressants.
I’m going to check out these homeopathic remedies, and with my pharmacist to see if one might help.
You’re not helping. ;^)
I hated doing exhaust inspections. The dirtiest and HOTTEST job on the F-16 Flt line.
That looks like a PW engine btw.
My husband has terrible tinnitus. At this point, I think he would try accupunction. I’m going to suggest it.
My husband has a history of kidney problems. Nothing is going on right now that we know of. However, his tinnitus is flaring up, and it’s really bad now.
This is an interesting thread.
Hell, I’ll give anything a go at this point.
Many medications can intensify existing tinnitus. Heart meds, i.e. Lisinopril/amlodipine. Most unpleasant predicament to put a patient in.

“So you get 20% for tinnitus? Were there other mitigating conditions?”
Why do you ask?
Do you suffer from tinnitus?
Just askin’
It wasn’t meant to be. It’s true. And not only me, but other people have reported it too.................
HUH?
Seriously, yes I do.
You’ll see many benefits, so if the tinitus doesn’t go away you’ll still be better off.
I was an MTR operator at a Nike-Herc. battery from ‘68 to ‘71. The electronic noise was constant.
However, I didn’t notice the tinnitus until about 1990 when, as plate ump, I was hit in the face mask by a pitch ball. It has been constant since then.
“Acupuncture seems to have some value”
Tried it with a couple different Chinese acupuncturists. No relief at all. Even had the gold pins that stay in your ears for about a week.
I have live it for all my married life...I should have had a clue by her first name...Tinnitus....but lust got the better of me :)
Head injuries, concussive type injuries, loud noises, illness, medications...tinnitus can have multiple etiologies even in the same patient.
I’ve read that. It’s very interesting............
