I just wanted to check in again—it's gotten so much better! July was a bit loud for me, but day by day, it started to fade. By August, the tinnitus was almost completely gone! However, it has crept back in over the past few days, and as I sit here, I can hear it hissing away. Ah well. I believe...

Hi everyone! I’ve only posted on my Introduce Yourself thread up until now. The tinnitus that was exacerbated by the ear syringing I had done on April 14th is still an issue, though it does spike up and then recede to a much lower volume over the course of days and weeks. I’m managing okay and...

Hard to say. If it were there, it would have been so quiet that it wouldn’t bother me. I would have said that my quality of life was back to pre-syringing levels - which I count as a win. If someone had asked me four days ago if I had tinnitus, I would have said no. But today - hardcore hissing...

Hey all! It's been a little while since I checked in - almost three weeks. There has been a lot of good progress over that time. The spike on the 30th of May went down the next day, and everything got progressively quieter and quieter. By around June 7th, it was not noticeable and stayed that...

Aaaaaaand back up today. Oh well. It’s nice to know that it CAN go down. The hope is that it happens more often. Yesterday was so awesome! But yes - holding it lightly.

Quick update: Quietest day yet! At least since the steroids. I'm really listening for the left ear hissing/tinkling, and I can barely hear it. The right ear also seems slightly better, but the tone is still very much there. Holding it lightly is an expression that means I'm going to enjoy it...

Thank you for your encouragement! It's great that you're used to it at this point. I noticed your earlier post in the thread and wanted to respond. I hear the hissing in my left ear most of the time and the tonal tinnitus in my other ear only when I have my AirPods in (listening at low volumes)...

Update: Here we are on Monday, and the hissing is quieter - three days on, three days off. I am so curious to understand why the cycle seems so natural! I know many people's tinnitus comes and goes in waves and doesn't stay the same every day. It's odd. The other good news is that the tonal...

Another quick update: This week, the hissing tinnitus started to lower on Monday evening, and by Tuesday, it was extremely quiet. It stayed quiet until this morning (Friday). Again, I’m hoping for longer periods of silence between periods of loudness. It's hard to say if the Curcumin is...

Today's quick update: The hissing noise is quieter again, although not as quiet as during the last quiet period. It really seems to be following this two-days-on, two-days-off cycle. I wonder what that's about. In my pursuit of addressing the supposed inflammation that Depo-Medrol supposedly...

Great news!

Thank you! Yeah, improvement can't come fast enough. How are your ears these days?
