I've had tinnitus my whole life but I do notice it gets much much worse when I'm on medications. Doesn't seem to matter whether the med is an SSRi or maoi or anti-psychotic. Not much help but you're not alone in the ear noise department. I hope someone has better advice for you.
All I can say is that listening to nature sounds or having a walkman going for awhile helps to make the ringing lessen for a while after turning the sounds off. Not a cure but a temp respite from the noise helps sometimes.
goodluck
T> I would be interested in hearing from anyone who developed tinnitus while taking an ssri medication such as zoloft. I have been off it for 8 weeks now, and the tinnitus is lessened but not gone. What was your experience. Did it go away, were you able to taken another medication and which one worked best. My problem is anxiety which is now substantially worse.
