First I should tell you that my tinnitus has now reached the point of what is called "catastrophic." That is when it begins to directly interfere with my quality of life.
I now only get sleep when I'm completely exhausted or when I take a sleeping pill (Lunesta). Here's the catch 22: Lunesta gives me burning migraines to where I can't even function the next day. Some nights, when I do fall asleep, I wake up at 4 AM and can't fall back to sleep because of the tinnitus. At that point it is way too late in the morning to take a sleeping aid.
I have a brand new audiologist who is fresh out of University of Kentucky and she is up to speed on the latest treatments.
