I have tinnitus for over 10 years, a 8khz sinus I learned to live with it, so it’s not maddening for me. Some people get severe depression from it and could be incapacitating. Last month I went to a ENT doctor specialized in Tinnitus, he told me Tinnitus is an audial allucination and in most cases is not a physical issue, but mental or neural problem. He prescribed me two pills that are used to treat epilepsy and migraine, they are anti-convulsive drugs. Clonazepam and Gabapentine that I’ll have to take for 6 months. The point is to tell the brain it doesn’t exist. It’s well documented on the web and studies say Gingko Biloba is useless against a placebo.
The worst thing about this is that I’ll have to avoid alcohol for 6 months.
