Members confirmed that tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is very common with fibromyalgia, with many describing it as a constant, high-pitched sound that worsens during flare-ups, though some experience it coming and going rather than all the time. Several members shared practical coping strategies including taking magnesium malate supplements, using hearing aids when hearing is affected, and playing soothing music or nature sounds in the background to mask the ringing. A recurring theme was the frustration and impact on quality of life, with some members noting that certain medications like amitriptyline or gabapentin may contribute to the condition, and while it often persists long-term, consulting with a doctor and trying different management approaches can provide some relief.
