    Oxycontin and Tinnitus

    Oxycontin and Oxycodone are different in that Oxycontin is timed released. However in MY situation the Oxycontin makes my ears worse, there must be some chemical in there to make MY tinnitus worse.

    Help with Supplements Please! What to Take, How Much to Take?

    I feel like my T might be better because of what I am taking now. Before I took anything it was loud and I was so depressed and insane but with the supplements I feel like it is more manageable or it could just be the T doing that naturally I don't know. I just thought I'd get feedback from...

    @James thank you! I sure hope it will diminish. Only time and faith in God will tell. I'm also very scared because I'm on prednisone and scared of what will happen when I get off it, if it will increase and spike really high, I already have high pitch ringing if it gets worse that sure will be...

    Thank you so much for your reply, truly appreciate all the input! I went to see an ENT today and did (what I consider a rush job) hearing test and said my hearing was better than good.
