Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?

Hi @amandajro I am considering it; an ENT I know wrote to me about it and I have done some reading on it. I must add that I have had tinntius for 12 days since taking a vaccine jab; my ENT friend mentioned that one can consider trying it after 3-6 months if tinnitus does not heal (other possibilities would include SSRI), but why wait? I understand it's important to develop an emotinallly neutral attitude towards it so why not begin asap?

I developed tinnitus after taking lexapro. Was on it for about 5 weeks. I stopped taking it and hope and pray that it will go away once it leaves my system. People are not aware that antidepressants can cause tinnitus,

I'd like to know that answer to your question too, @velaschopen. Might you be able to ask your friend? From what I've read, tinnitus retraining requires a commitment of 12-24 months. It may take as long as two to three months to notice any changes and as much as a year before the tinnitus is no longer noticeable.
