I am sorry for all of your individual stories and attempts to control the nasty noises in your heads. While our diets, medications and our environments may or may not have a direct or indirect affect on our brain, hence the injured brains attempt to control or minimize the noise has so many factors that may not be in our control. For centuries, humans have been attempting to understand, treat and abate this misunderstood phenomena. Now the researchers have found where the injury is possibly located, that this is a phantom injury to the brain, from a number of causes be it from medication overdose, loud noises, shock waves, constant high pitches, and other sources that injure sensitive areas of the brain. While this is a great step in the discovery process, preventing or even stopping the injury from advancing has not been discovered or even found yet. The brain is too complex of an organ to source out the many fingers that touch this part of the limbic area of the brain. There are not enough dollars directed to this research so we are left in the dark as those who are studying this steadily adding to the knowledge that has only just begun recently. All of us can do our own studies to see what works in our lives since we all have our own knowledge of what helps us and what does not. My tinnitus is different from yours. I have had it since a surgery gone wrong and I needed to have 5 antibiotics to save me. Ototoxicity gave me permanent tinnitus which will never go away until I die. That was in 1989. I have gotten use to it and use any number of tools to help me with it over the years. That is what you all need to do. Use a diary always to chart out your way like I do my Blood Sugars and migraines. My doctors rely on them to better take care of me. Remember - you are 50% of your care and your physician is the other 50% of your care. It is a contract. No matter who they are. It works with any kind of care. We are in partnership and they appreciate this. Do It!

When I had the bout with really bad vertigo from what they said was an inner ear infection, they put me on a drug called Cyclor. It is no longer on the market. I had a bad reaction to it immediately. Face turned red, swelling mouth and neck and face. They said it was an antibiotic. But maybe it was a trigger as my tinnitus started just after that event. So, I can understand how Ototoxicity could happen. I am not allergic to any other medicine that I know of. My ears also itch a lot but doc says they are not infected and the tinnitus has never gone away completely. They also say my hearing is normal. So I guess I have adapted to hear over the other noise. I appreciate hearing from others so at least I know I am not crazy. That the noise is real to me even though no one else can hear it.
