It's been almost six months since the onset of ringing in my ears—exactly 5 months and 20 days. I wanted to provide an update on my treatment progress and the results from the combined approach of steroid injections and oral steroids concerning the auditory symptoms I’ve experienced since my...

I wanted to post an update on my progress so far: I have had four intratympanic Dexamethasone injections in my left ear and three in my right ear. After the last round, my neurologist wanted to wait a month before seeing me again to assess my progress. Yesterday, August 5th, I had another...

If the volume went down with the steroids, I would take it as a good sign that there’s an inflammatory process in your ears or Eustachian tubes and that it will eventually resolve. Being patient and managing your sleep and mental health are good things to focus on. I also believe it’s...

Prednisone will definitely ramp up anxiety. It’s ideal to take it early in the morning to avoid having issues with sleep and always with food. From my point of view, it’s a short-term price to pay for a potential long-term gain. It may also affect your mood. I never had issues with Flonase...

On Thursday, Jun 27, 2024, my wife was able to get an appointment with my neurologist due to a last-minute cancellation. I wanted his opinion on the current treatment and the course of events. I needed reassurance that I was on the right track, not overdoing it or on a wild goose chase. I went...

Thank you so much. I hope yours goes away as well! June 25, 2024 update: A few days ago, everything seemed to be on the right track. I posted my last update in the morning, but throughout the day, I experienced some side effects from the steroids, including GI distress, hiccups, and reflux. By...

Jun 21, 2024 update: Yesterday, I had two intratympanic Dexamethasone injections, one in each ear. I am unsure about the dosage used and cannot find any information about it in the doctor's notes. The previous injection was 60 mg. For those who are not familiar with the process, a very fine...
