Can B12 injections help with tinnitus symptoms?

Hello! I wondered if anybody had any experience with tinnitus and b12 deficiency please? I have hashimotos/ underactive thyroid that is now being successfully treated with NDT medication. I have also recently been diagnosed with b12 deficiency and have started b12 injections every other day for 3 weeks, then to drop to weekly. This diagnosis was made on symptoms as my b12 was within range on the labs. The symptoms were muscle twitching (eyes, hands, feet, legs), tingling tongue and lips, and also tinnitus. The muscle twitching has stopped within a few days of the b12 injections, however the tinnitus has remained. I'm hoping it's just a matter of patience and it may reduce in severity given time? Any experience with this would be greatly appreciated as it's probably the most annoying symptom out of them all, but als seems the most stubborn to leave :)

Strangely my tinnitus started with b12 loading injections .I called it the B12 buzz.

It has lessened but not gone away .

Can make me very irritable and definitely sound sensitive.

I can now open a present wrapped in paper .

I cang deal with plastic packaging.

Alot on food not even needed.

I still geg s numb nose with stripes snd headpins.

Tinnitus awful then.

Massaging my skull .

Pressure in front of my ears helps.

I only notice when it's not there .

Probably not what you want to hear, but my tinnitus started after I began self injecting (4.5 months) ago and comes and goes but is more here than not here. Much worse when it's quiet! This past week or has altered from a high pitched squeal to a whooshing sound in one ear at night, not sure if that means it's on its way out or not. Sorry if that's not what you were hoping for, but as you say, it seems to be the most stubborn symptom for sure!!
