That sounds really frustrating — dealing with tinnitus on top of migraines is a lot to manage. It's worth knowing that tinnitus and migraines are closely connected, and when migraines are better controlled, tinnitus can sometimes improve too.
Since Aimovig is still relatively new for you, it may still be working to reduce migraine activity, which could help ease the tinnitus over time. That said, it's really important to talk to your doctor about the tinnitus, especially since it started after your Botox treatments. In the meantime, here are some options that may help manage tinnitus alongside migraines:
- Sound therapy (like white noise machines) can make the ringing less noticeable, especially at night
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may help reduce the distress caused by tinnitus
- Massage therapy has also shown some benefit for easing tinnitus symptoms
- Earplugs can help if loud sounds are triggering both migraines and tinnitus
- Avoiding triggers like MSG and tyramine-rich foods (aged cheeses, fermented foods) may help both conditions
If the tinnitus is affecting your quality of life, causing anxiety, or comes with any hearing loss or dizziness, don't wait — bring it up with your doctor as soon as possible.
