Comments from related studies:

From this study (2 months ago):

Tinnitus began in January 2012, 5 days after beginning Aricept. Second opinion doctor removed me from Aricept on 10th day on the drug, when he learned that I was experiencing the Tinnitus. Updated diagnosis by same (second) doctor after extensive workup was that Migraines caused Mild Cognitive Impairment, the single symptom leading to the faulty AD diagnosis. I have never experienced any other AD symptoms, and remain that way today.

This was extremely traumatic for me, as it took place one month after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a successful double mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction. It has been approximately 14 months, but I still have the auditory condition. I have had four retinal tears repaired (three and then another) in the past two months. I have had no adult health problems prior to this except a hip replacement in 2008 due to Arthritis. I was a runner, and since the hip surgery, have race walked 2,500 miles. I have experienced considerable emotional stress, as you might expect, and gained 20 pounds over the duration.
