    New Changes

    I looked at it again. They're 20Mg tablets, twice a day, for 5 days. Would this even be worth the risk associated with Prednisone?

    New Changes

    Hmm. Unfortunately, I feel like the doctor just gave me these to get me off his back. He's been pushing these for awhile. Swore up and down it helped people. The ENT said take them, and then retracted her statement and said don't take them. They're 20MG tablets that need to be taken twice a day.

    New Changes

    Bill, I'm weary of taking the prednisone due to the anxiety that comes along with it. I've also read stories of it making peoples worse.

    New Changes

    Hey guys, I had T after a gunshot with no ear protection last November. It was in my right ear, and thankfully, went away. In January I got a month long head cold and the beginning of February I noticed I had a high pitched ringing in both ears. Doctor said it was probably Eustachian tube...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    I know this has been asked a billion times but, are we close? I don't want the "every day we draw closer" answer. I mean are we *really* close. Like, within 5 years? Also, if a cure is found and someone who has tinnitus has it reduce drastically or even disappear all together could that person...

    Dental Work Ruined My Progress

    I'm going to the dentist tomorrow and I'm about to have a mental breakdown because I don't know what to expect. What can I do? What can I tell him to make sure this doesn't get louder?

    Going to Bars?

    I went to the bar tonight, it was very quiet. It had maybe 10 total people talking and I could hear my friend quite well from across the bar. I had my dB meter on my phone out and I know that isn't the most reliable thing but the sound was comparable to my car radio on a lower volume. The music...

    Going to Bars?

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Right now I've got a cheap Walgreens pack of HEAROS 33 dB. If anyone can recommend good ear plugs, please drop them below. Are these the ones you were talking about? http://www.acscustom.com/us/index.php/hearing-protection/acs-pro-26

    Going to Bars?

    Had tinnitus that started in February that was brought on by ETD. I've learned a valuable lesson in silence and value it as much as possible. I'm graduating college soon and some friends want to go to bars before we all go our separate ways. I've largely avoided them, or any place loud...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    I've had T that was onset from ETD for almost a month and a half now. I've done my best to reduce loud noise exposure and protect my ears. Today at work someone let a relief valve of air off somewhere near me and it was a little loud. The ringing seems louder. I had a mental breakdown when I...

    A Bad Week

    Yes, just barely though. It was the same frequency as the ringing. Thanks for all the support guys. I will definitely do the steps above. This whole thing just feels like a bad dream.

    A Bad Week

    Hello all, I had a brief run-in with tinnitus last November when I shot a gun. It was gone within a week but started some very bad anxiety. Fast forward to the middle of February and me yawning one day in class has me noticing a ringing in both ears. Roughly 2 later weeks brought ear pressure...
