I know they’re very different drugs, but in the context of tinnitus spikes, when would Clonazepam be considered, and when would Prednisolone be considered?

In general, when should someone take Clonazepam versus Prednisolone? For example, during spikes, is one more recommended than the other? Thanks!

Hi, my tinnitus increased after I went to a bar for 2 hours last night. It wasn’t extremely loud, but it was still too loud for me. My ENT prescribed Prednisolone (60 mg, 60 mg, 60 mg) for three days, but I just noticed that there is no tapering. Is it safer and equally effective to take 60 mg...

Hi everyone, I'm considering relocating to London, UK for work. I currently live in Berlin, Germany, and as someone with tinnitus, I wanted to ask about your experiences. I'd love to hear from people living in or around London, or in other large cities, about how well the city supports people...

I am 36. My tinnitus was caused by noise trauma in a nightclub. It is loud but hard to compare with others. I agree that it might not be the most important consideration, but when you travel for work, you might want to look “normal” rather than appearing overly protective. The decibel levels at...

Hi everyone, I am looking for headphone recommendations specifically for air travel. I have both tinnitus and hyperacusis, so my main goal is to reduce noise rather than to listen to sound. I have checked other threads on this topic but could not find a clear answer that fits what I am looking...

Has anyone used the Canon Pianissimo Zen 3T or has any feedback about it?

I completely understand, @Michael Leigh, and I agree that it is better not to take the risk. However, that is not always easy to apply when you are working and need to take calls in a workplace.

@Michael Leigh, that’s useful to know, but where did you get that information? Is it backed by research? And why don’t audiologists mention it? On the contrary, I’ve heard that it shouldn’t have an effect at low levels. Also, I wonder why ENTs perform hearing tests with headphones when someone...

Would anyone else have feedback on Pregabalin and whether it has affected their tinnitus? I have to take this medication for nerve pain and am wondering if it could make my tinnitus worse.

Has anyone else here used the Shokz OpenRun? I am considering buying one for running, but I am a bit concerned about its impact on tinnitus, so I wanted to ask for opinions. Are the system sounds predictable?

@Nick47, how easy is it to get Clonazepam and Gabapentin prescribed as a new patient in the UK?

Why aren’t cochlear implants being offered to people who don’t have hearing loss but do suffer from tinnitus?

Hi everyone, I've been dealing with tinnitus and hyperacusis for a while, but recently, I started experiencing vertigo and headaches, particularly after driving through mountainous areas (around 1500 meters, so not very high). Since then, the vertigo and drowsiness have become constant. I've...

Do you think there are risks in taking Deanxit alone without Clonazepam? I also got it prescribed by Dr. De Ridder but I am a bit scared about the drug given the number of countries that have decided not to market it. What do you think helps you the most between the two?
