I have dealt with Tinittus for 10 yrs and exactly as @PickyPicky3 says, my audiologist explained this is a brain issue and cannot be cured. I just learned to live with it. Some days are better than others; however the more I think about it the worse it is so I try to divert my attention from it.
I have a downstairs neighbor who keeps his AC fan going ALL NIGHT (pumping AC into his apt for many hours). That constant, loud humming sound prevented me from sleeping so I bought some noise cancelling headphones (from HSN) that work perfectly. HOWEVER, since using the headphones the tinnitus has worsened (don't exactly know why).
My thoughts and prayers go out to @NicksmomESQ for your stressful situations to resolve soon and in your favor.

@NicksmomESQ "Even though I feel good about the treatment I'm a nervous wreck. Holding it in because I don't want to add to DH's stress."
I hear that loud and clear. They are naturally worried about the unknowns or even the knowns and men are often not the best patients, sorry to say. We often hold it all together and know we can fall apart later if necessary.
Wishing your DH all the best outcomes and much relief for you both.

@pdlinda My husband is on zoloft and it helps him cope with his tinnitus during the day that changes pitch and sometimes is louder than usual. When he was working it was less noticeable but now that he's retired our house is way too quiet. He takes melatonin and a sleeping pill at night.

I'm sorry to learn this. Yes, I'll say prayers for your DH & keep him in my thoughts also. I wish both of you the best possible outcome. Take care.

@NicksmomESQ I've been praying for him (and you) since your first posts about his diagnosis.
My Dad went through crueling treatments for 2 different cancers and I watched my Mom's health go downhill as she worried and wrung her hands.
Please remember to take of yourself. If you become rundown from worry, stress and not enough rest, you cannot be of any help to him and certainly are doing yourself no favors.
OK, mini lecture over. Be well and keep us posted about DH.
