@Andy70 Hi Andrea, I took prednisilone, 40mg for 7 days. It was prescribed for 10 days but I also had dizziness & bad anxiety at the time so me & my dr decided to stop them a few days early. My T went from a 6 or 7/10 down to a 1/10, back up to a 2-3/10 after ceasing the steroids & then...

Hi, I'm a little nervous about writing this as I don't want to tempt fate, but I promised myself that if my tinnitus ever went I'd write on here to hopefully give some hope to new sufferers. Mine started in May for no known reason, I'd had a bath and got my ears wet but apparently that...

There is a lady on here called caff clifton. Her tinnitus started the same way as yours. Her story is in the success story's & you should read it. She struggled to begin with but was habituated within 2-3 months. She is also young xx

@Richard Wallace Did you have hearing loss from the beginning or is this developing? Do you mind me asking how your t started? I'm concerned I have Ménière's but at the moment I do not have hearing loss.

@Karen Hi Karen I've been reading a few of your posts & they're really positive and helpful, so thank you. I too have experienced many bouts of dizziness since this started 8 weeks ago, & a feeling of pressure & fullness in my ears (started just in t ear but now both). Not true vertigo but I...

@dfl Hi, mine started 8 weeks ago, I have had 3 bouts of dizziness lasting days, am currently experiencing it now. I've also had a lot of feeling pressure within my ears, started with bad ear but now in both. Do you mind me asking how yours started? Mine wasn't noise trauma or anything obvious...

@Richard Wallace Hi Richard, have you ever had any hearing loss. I have the exact same symptoms as you...started with loud T, ear pressure, then dizziness added to the mix on / off for 8 weeks, but I have no hearing loss so they don't think menieres. But yesterday the lady who retested my...

Would anyone be willing to post their experience at the start of menieres please? My T started 8 weeks ago with ear pressure, subsided after a week & the had on/off dizziness for 5 days. Still had ear pressure but T & dizziness had eased until 2-3 weeks ago. T come back & now I'm feeling dizzy...

@Cole How are you doing? Have you seen an ent yet? I also have symptoms of menieres but no hearing loss??

There's a success story by someone called Dan I think, who's tinnitus went after 2 mths. Think his was noise induced so there's still hope for you x

Hi, your story sounds very similar to mine! My T started as a high pitch whistle, then after 5-6 days subsided to a hiss which I could cope with. After 4 weeks the whistle came back for no known reason (no noise exposure) and went again after 2 days. Then a week later the whistle returned but...

@Leodavinci thanks for the reply. Yes seen two ents, one privately from royal ears nose & throat hospital. Both do not think menieres, no hearing loss or fluid on tests, no loud noise exposure. I guess like many just frustrated at lack of answers. I am currently awaiting an MRI scan. The only...

I've had tinnitus for 8 weeks today, it subsided for 4 weeks in this time but came back 2 weeks ago. The night before the first onset, I went to a body pump class which involved using a weight bar across the back of my neck, I found it really uncomfortable having the bar resting on my...

Yours sounds similar to mine, except I've had no noise trauma. The whole thing started 7 weeks ago after I got water in my ear. It started with a high pitch ringing which then faded out & I was left with the hissing. I had otitis externa but they didn't believe I had a middle ear infection as no...

@Karl28 Thanks for the reply! Do you remember the dosage? Did you T increase in volume after you finished the steroids? X
