First things first.....check the side effects of your meds, and the drug interactions.

I get this intermittently, it comes and goes.

I get it internittently, as well.
With me it is a high pitched whine similar to electronic feedback.
It becomes intense for short periods (minutes to hours) and then doesn't occur for long periods (weeks to months). It comes & goes. Don't know if it is PN or meds related.

Tinnitus on a regular basis must be really nasty, but as somebody posted here, she's been able to adjust and it doesn't interfere with the activities of daily living.

Please try to do as much as you can to alleviate this by avoiding whenever possible the things that aggravate it, and that includes stress.

When my small fiber neuropathy first started, had it several times a day, but only for seconds at a time. Now ten months later, it happens only rarely.

Maybe a doctor can help, if not with meds then with techiques you can use to try and distract from it as much as possible.

Please research tinnitus on-line, but remember there are always some exaggerated, baseless claims by those who want to make money by selling bogus "cures."

Good luck,

As quickly as it came on....I woke up this morning....gone! It's 11 at night, and still no high pitched sound. The only thing different today was the elimination of the standard morning "pot" of coffee...to 2 cups. I don't know if that was it or what. I don't know if the Lyrica or Tramadol are a cause. But, I can appreciate today's quiet. I pray on my hands and knees for anyone with this affliction! My PN doesn't hold a candle to a noise that is in your head, and you cannot turn it off. Thanks for all the support on this great forum.
