Hi, I have a couple questions about flying that I hope you experts can help. I stopped flying after I got tinnitus and hyperacusis. I would say mine is pretty bad at times. However, I am stuck in an awful place and must make a 12 hours flight to reach a place that I should have never left. My...

Did you ask how severe the young guy's hearing loss is and if he has tinnitus?

Can I ask how did you notice the hearing loss in the higher frequencies? How did it happen years after the onset of your tinnitus? Were the oral Prednisone and injections effective?

I agreed with what you said.

Hi Bobby, I have a recent acoustic trauma (just 2 days ago) from a 45~50 dB in-ear word recognition test using earbuds. This is on top of several acoustic traumas since January as I was not ultra careful in protecting my ears. I know old wounds cannot be helped. In your opinion, is it worth...

Thank you for replying. 50 dB at a couple feet would be absolutely quiet and normal. But this is right inside my ear and I have been experiencing huge tinnitus spike, hyperacusis and voice distortion.

Hello, I had an unnecessary word recognition test accompanied with an audiogram just yesterday. The audiogram only went up to 20 dB but word recognition test went up to 45 to 50 dB. This is done with earbuds of course. I felt absolutely terrible afterwards. Should I take Prednisone for acoustic...

How did your hearing recover? I thought there is no treatment yet.

Did your distorted hearing go away? Also, any concern from the 80 dB ABR test that could have worsened your conditions? Thank you.

Did you try HBOT? Can you share your experience? Thank you.

Were you able to take Prednisone within 2 weeks after onset?

I see some people take steroid after sound trauma. Anyways, I thought it was a precautionary strategy. Sorry to bother you. It is too late for me anyway. I'd I wish I knew earlier. I feel there is hearing loss that did not show up on my audiograms because things sound quite different after my...

So you got worse after your Prednisone treatment? Can I ask how long/what dose were you on?

I really wish I had read this post. I had noise trauma recently and developed tinnitus. I had multiple "normal" audiograms so was refused even oral steroid treatment. Wish I had taken matters into my own hand and get steroids right away. Now it's too late (>1 month) and most ENTs I talked to...

Can I ask what was your daily dose and how many days you were on Prednisone? Did an audiogram show you have hearing loss?
