I have had severe tinnitus for 3 months now that is blaring loud. The only thing that has brought the noise slightly down is acupuncture for me specifically as I know everyone is different. My heart goes out to you as my doctor also did not tell me that the erythromycin that they had me on was ototoxic. It was given to me as an off label use to help my gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying condition). After 11 days of use I woke up with the sound of a siren in both ears. I find it difficult that tinnitus isn't the center of more research and trials as it is debilitating and takes months to years to habituate to if you do at all. Give acupuncture a try, it takes a few visits but even if it helps reduce it slightly that's better than full volume. I wish medical providers were more educated about the side effects of medications as many of us could have avoided this terrible fate if we were told everything. I hope you find relief in different therapies like acupuncture or tinnitus retraining therapy.
