Now I'd say my tinnitus is noticeable maybe 20% of the time - and when it is –*it's much more tolerable.

I've also found that Neurontin helped reduce both tinnitus and hyperacusis significantly.

Try and maybe listen to some pink noise or white noise at low volumes and see if it masks the tinnitus, and makes your ears feel better. If it does - I'd definitely check out TRT.

It's helped me for sure.
I'm up to 600mgs. of Neurontin and it has improved my tinnitus...that's about all it is helping (other than to make me sleep). Hasn't really touched the headaches and has made my cognitive problems worse. I have also experienced an increase in fatigue and dizziness while on it. I'm hoping it will improve as my body adjusts to the Neurontin.
