Hello, I took Claritin, after all ENT testing was over with and nothing wrong was found, at the suggestion of my GP. Stopped the heartbeat in my ear almost immediately. When I was years later put on a diuretic 12 mg for high blood pressure the heartbeats started up again and I cut back on to 1/3 of dose told my Dr about side effect (also take other bp meds) and took Claritin again and they haven't come back. Just a suggestion- this worked for me.

The causes of tinnitus may be many, from low blood iron levels to vitamin D and B deficiencies, to medications, and to inner ears problems. It is better to see your PCP to do blood tests, and ENT to rule out potential problems with inner ears.
Medications known to cause tinnitus include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and certain antibiotics, cancer drugs, water pills (diuretics), antimalarial drugs and antidepressants per Mayo Clinic:
