In reply to Tinitus relief...?, posted by Ant-rock on August 23, 2002, at 18:33:09
As you probably already know, there is no cure for tinnitus & the problem can be caused by many different things, or even a combination, making it worse, & not just drugs (though that's sadly common with many meds).
There is help to relieve it - effective to different degrees depending on each person. Some are helped greatly, others very little.
I'm including a couple of links to treatments for it. You can read through the suggestions & try what sounds good to you, or further discuss some options with an understanding doctor.
Options from the American Tinnitus Association:
