I might add that I was on xanax for over 10 years for anxiety. I had weaned myself down from 1mg daily to 1/4 mg daily. I did not notice the tinnitus while on the full doseage of xanax. When I went to the 1/4, October 4th, within a couple days the tinnitus was enough to notice. I also take hormones which is a medication that can contribute to tinnitus but I MUST have them. I only take a half of the lowest dose possible so......ibuprofen, acetaminophen also contribute. I don't take much of that. I take 1 tablet alkaseltzer. I am also on hydrocodone daily for major back issues and have been for years. I will discuss all this with audiologist.
Yes that is on my list. My PCP said my ears were clear. I had used the debrox wax removal several months ago and got 3 or 4 little pieces from left ear. None from right ear. When I mentioned the tinnitus to my doctor, he checked my ears and said they were "very clear so you did a great job". I know he's no audiologist but can check ears the same. I have very accute hearing, even with the tinnitus. I've used the wax removal a couple times in the last 2 months and have gotten nothing out of it. What I HAVE noticed though is sometimes I can feel around the outside of my ear, but inside if that makes sense, and feel stuff that feels like sand. When I clean it off with my nail, it's similar to ear wax but not waxy. I know it's gotta be coming from inside ear, almost like a drainage. It doesn't happen daily and I never have ear aches, jaw aches, headaches. I do have vertigo, 40+years, but most days are good. I'll make appt for audiologist. I'm sure I'll need referral.
