Tinnitus on Venlafaxine

Has anyone developed tinnitus on Venlafaxine? It's the only one side effect that hasn't gone yet. It feels like a slight constant buzzing in my head and it's not bothering me during the day until it's very quiet. The worst is night time when I want to get some sleep. I have never had it on any other antidepressant. I spoke to my doc about it and was told to persevere and maybe try to have a calming quiet music in the background but I am a person that prefers to have a quiet background for sleep and would hate to have any music or sound in the background to be honest. I am not sure what to do really? what a nightmare! I am still waiting for the full effect of Venlafaxine.I have been on it for 11 weeks. I also started Sertraline 1. week ago and have hopes that maybe it will counteract this bloody buzzing! Any experiences?
