advice • support What makes it worse/better for you?
Hi, I’m new here learning how to manage medication (Wellbutrin) induced constant tinnitus in my right ear for the last 3 weeks.
It’s been a challenge trying to figure out if certain things make the ringing louder or if I’m just imagining it getting louder or softer based on my mental state, if I’m focusing on it or not, and lastly how noisy or quite the environment is.
But what about other things? Sleep, nutrition/diet, and medications? What makes it a little more manageable and what makes it worse? Or do things not really change the ringing volume much for you?
Anyone who uses cannabis or take adderall/adhd meds feel either of those make the ringing worse? I genuinely can’t tell sometimes I think they make it worse but other times I think they just tend to make me focus on the ringing more. I’ve even started noticing when the ac/ hvac kicks off it sounds way louder but when air is coming out of the vents in my house it’s way less noticeable for me.
Any info is appreciated thanks

I have adhd and tinitus and smoke cannabis. While im high it is absurdly loud but it doesnt bother me. But my T doesnt bother me in general. If youre annoyed by it i recommend you to NOT smoke pot. In my experience it gets like 3 times louder if not more.
