Could it be true? Is there really a drug, or combo of drugs out there that relieves tinnitus? I had a very large brain tumor partially removed in 1983, and had to have the whole left inner ear removed and sewn shut. Ever since then, I have a loud dishwasher-type noise in that deaf ear. I am currently taking Prozac for depression and Xanax for panic attacks. But if there's something out there that will let me hear blessed silence for the first time in 16 years, I'll try it. I was told right after my surgery that this kind of tinnitus is one of the major factors in suicides for post-op patients of my type. I laughed it off at the time, but believe me, I'm not laughing now! Any helpful information welcome.
