Can nortriptyline make tinnitus louder permanently?

5 Dec 2011

hi, I don't know about that particular med, but usually it takes about 10 days for the noise to subside when it's caused by a med. I've had tinnitus since I was about 7-off and on-now it's mostly on. When it pretty much goes away-they put something in cough syrup or something that sets it off.
If you ever find anything that works- would you let me know? Don't let them sever the nerves to your ears to get rid of it. It works about 50% of the time-but the catch is that you're left deaf as a stone-and you got to lip read- also-many times the tinnitus is still there- there's been a few suicides because of that- personally they should've used a shot gun on the ENTs. So be careful-
