Today I went to the chamber, they were going to do a test with me. It was VERY load, so I think I have decided no to do it. And you can't use earplugs.

Oh, fuck! I'm sorry. Now I'm afraid. I prefer to stay away from that test but if I don't do it I'm not allowed to access HBOT. They told me that I will have to hear a beep of 110db for 2 seconds in every ear. Things are getting harder and harder for me.

Oh, so weird, in spanish it's called "impedanciometria", wich actually is the Tympanometry according to my research, or I may be wrong... They put some kind of headphones on you and I don't know what happens after that, because I didn't continue.

I'm trying to have hyperbaric chamber treatment, but in order to access the chamber, they ask me to do two differents ear tests, one of them being Tympanometry. I was there, ready to begin the test, when the guy told me to be ready to hear some pretty high sounds during the test. And I was...

which ones are you using? disposable silicone plugs?

So, the Alpines Music Safe Pro reduces only 16 db? I'm also looking for the Alpines Partyplug (25db reduction): https://www.alpinehearingprotection.com/earplugs/partyplug/

Thanks guys. I'm from south america, so I'll see what can I find here in terms of custom earplugs. Foams earplugs leaves me isolated from the world. That's not good for most situations, but it must be good for the most hardcore situations. The Eargasm reduces only 12Db, that's too little...

I'm new to the tinnitus club (unfortunately), I got T after a nightclub (11 days ago), by being too close to the speakers. Now I'm scared of almost every sound. During this period of time, I've been using foam earplugs, for the street or for driving (at least during the first weeks after...

I have no idea. But I believe there must be some physical factors, I don't think there's any external reason for me.

Yes, I will make an update soon. Thanks! Thanks for sharing your taper Andy.

Thanks again. For some reason my T decreases at night and when waking up, and gets worse during the day. I think this must not be common. Today I tried foam earplugs and it makes my tinnitus x1000 times worse, it actually causes a spike. Every time I put the ear plugs, my T goes crazy, so...

I will take 80mg for 1 to 3 days, depending on how much I can tolerate that dose, but at least for 1 day. Then back to 60 mg and then taper. 80 mg is the starting dose they suggest in a google book that I found. I prefer to take a high dose now that my window period is finishing. Am I doing...

@racerfish I haven't seen the doctor. If I wait for an appointment, it'll be too late for steroids (48 hours window period). So I started by my own. I have prednisone because I have used it many times in the past for skin related problems. (But 40 mg for a week and then taper).

I have tinnitus induced by acoustic trauma. Aproximately at 30 hours post trauma, I started 40 mg of prednisone, then, this second day 60mg because I was confused with the dose. Does any one know what is the standar dose for this case? 60mg or 80 mg?? I don't know if I should go up to 80mg...

By the way, I took 40mg of prednisone, not 60. I decided to add 10 extra mg, because it's supposed that the dose for tinnitus should be around 50mg. I'm no sure if I should start with 60mg. I decided to stick with 60 mg.

Hi GP. Thank you very much for the advices! The questions: 1- Maybe a few changes. Last night was less noticeable (10 hours after prednisone). And today when I woke up it was also less noticeable, but then, a few minutes later , I can hear it high again. 2- I think that yes. Some times it...

Yes, thanks, that's what I'm going to do.

Update: Finally I decided to take prednisone. I've just taken 60mg, because some says that it may help with the healing during the first 48 hours. Now I'm getting ready for the bad anxiety that prednisone causes me.

Hello every one. I'm new here, I'm from Chile. Like most people who comes here in the first place, I'm terrified. This past thursday night I was in a night club, with VERY load music and near the speakers. After that, I had severe pain in my left ear, wich subsided very quickly (40 minutes to...
