ENT had no explanation. Nothing found. No follow up appts. Went back to my GP and he said try Claritin. I took it only for a week. Took a few days to work and no more tinnitus for years - never came back until I took 12 mg diuretic. I cut back on it and took Claritin again and no tinnitus since. Not sure why it worked -GP never explained why. My hearing is poor and audiologist at ENT office recommended hearing aids -not causal to noises though. I do have managed HBP but managed by medication. Slight plaque in neck vessel but not enough to cause noises.

Thank you for sharing. The onset of my tinnitus coincided with me being on Spironolactone (diuretic) and multiple anti-hypertensive agents. All have been discontinued ever since, but tinnitus is staying. No relevant findings on CT scan with angiogram. I will try Claritin. Hopefully, it will make it better.
