Tinnitus getting worse

[CocoPlops]

Hello!

Gradually over the last year my tinnitus has gotten a lot worse, it started off being bad while trying to lay down for a sleep etc it’s at the point now I hear it 90% of the day

I had an MRI a few months back and it showed nothing unusual

Can anyone point me in the right direction for sounds to try? Maybe intake of vitamins and change in diet.

Thank you!

Hello... I have had Tinnitus for 3 years now, my hearing deteriorated very quickly and I now have a cochlear implant which masks it to some extent. I sleep with BOSE sleep head phones and also use BOSe headphones during the day. Any sort of nature sound is good or I listen to podcasts. I know that if I think about it , the ringing gets worse. Hope this helps! Good luck!

The only way I can sleep with the noise is 1 5mg zolpadem at 10.30 they last only about 4 hours then another 5 mg then takes me through ,it makes no different if you take 10 mg still only last 4 hours unless you can get ambian

Ones which ambian Cr which make you sleep and keep you a sleep longer which we don’t have where I live
