Don’t know. Ask the doc. A lot depends on how you feel, along with your labs.

Tinnitus (buzzing in ears) is a puzzle for everyone, including docs,and people who have it. I have had it for years, and since I was a kid. I don’t think you should plan on it disappearing if you are euthyroid.
Here is an article about it. A good overview.

Hello – Unless antibody levels (TSI, TRAb) are low, patients with Graves’ disease are likely to go hyperthyroid again when they stop taking the methimazole.

How true that once you have a hyperthyroidisim, you will have Tinnitus it will go to vertigo or menier disease if the tinnitus will not cure.

Hello – I’m not familiar with this specific issue, but here’s some info on tinnutis from the Mayo Clinic:

If this continues to bother you, definitely ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist for guidance on further treatment options.
