My theory is i was in an extreme state of panic, plus taking a corticosteroid, which heightens cortisol (Stress) caused some sort of glutamate storm (neurotoxicity) in my brain causes all

sorts of issues mainly within the ear and brain. Almost the same effect as benzo withdrawals. Causing/Exacerbating existing tinnitus and sensitivity to sound. It could very well help hearing as well but A steroid shot would be far more beneficial. @ZFire @in_LA

I got a new tone after steroids

I think you're on to something @Marshall . Steroids must have altered my GABA/Glutamate profile as I was also in a extreme state of stress/panic/anxiety too. Unless I have noticeable sudden hearing loss, I'm pretty much done with steroids of any kind.
