    Huge Tinnitus Spike: Suspected Ibuprofen — Should I Get Prednisolone ASAP?

    I grew up in the countryside with complete silence so you can imagine the onset of T was hard for me. Luckily (!?) at the time I was living in a town so at night/during the day I would focus on background noise - like the sound of cars or environmental noise pollution. Concentrating on the tones...

    Huge Tinnitus Spike: Suspected Ibuprofen — Should I Get Prednisolone ASAP?

    Sure - It was pain/inflammation/potential cartilage damage in my knee - so i'm pretty sure it's not related.

    It sounds like it's just a lot louder. But to be honest I'm not sure if i could tell you as before it was a lot, lot quieter and I'd gotten pretty good at blocking it out. How long ago did you take the Tylenol?

    Huge Tinnitus Spike: Suspected Ibuprofen — Should I Get Prednisolone ASAP?

    So glad you've seen a positive change! How did you go about getting the Dexamethasone injections? Did you get them injected directly into your ear? The papers I've read did this by intratympanic injection... A little worried to try Prednisolone with it being stated as also ototoxic.

From a scientific POV i'm a little confused why predinsone wouldn't help noise trauma induced...

    Huge Tinnitus Spike: Suspected Ibuprofen — Should I Get Prednisolone ASAP?

    That's what i'm keeping my fingers crossed for - trying to stay positive! Yes - this is exactly what I've done - booked an appointment today in a local pharmacy to get a free hearing test. Thank you for the advice. I had a hearing test on the NHS all those years ago when it first started to...

    Huge Tinnitus Spike: Suspected Ibuprofen — Should I Get Prednisolone ASAP?

    Hi everyone - I'm so glad to have come across Tinnitus Talk today. I have been wracking the internet the last few days - feeling pretty emotional - so trying to be careful about what I read. I wonder if anyone has advice for me? About 7 years ago I experienced tinnitus for the first time - no...
