I have been suffering with tinnitus since I got a bad cold that left fluid in my left ear. I was prescribed prednisone, and it reduced the tinnitus by at least 90 percent. I took my last dose today, so I'm not sure if the ringing in my ear will roar back to life again or not. I'm also not sure...

Thanks @billie48 and @Nikopol! The prednisone course has me very encouraged. It's reduced the tinnitus by about 90 percent during the day. However, when I woke up the last two mornings, it's been a louder again, though not as bad as it was, until I take my next dose. I'm only on a 5-day course...

Thanks again for all the kind support and information in here. It's been so helpful. As @BLane suggested, I went to the doctor and asked for a prednisone course. It was just my GP, not an ENT, but she looked in my ears, said there was fluid in the left one, and obliged me with the prednisone...

Thanks for all the suggestions and encouragement. Day 3 and the high-pitched whine seems louder than ever. That said, from reading other people's experiences, I'm guessing the sound I'm hearing is moderate. I can mask it with certain white noise and even when I'm outside, the birds and general...

Thanks so much for the advice, BLane. I'll work on getting prescribed some prednisone ASAP. I'll do anything to give this a chance of reversing. Thanks, again.

I'm sorry if I seem like a baby, but I've had tinnitus for 48 hours and I'm freaking out. I've been extremely stressed lately and took a business trip/vacation that was also incredibly stressful for various reasons. I caught a nasty cold virus on the trip that really took hold when I got home...
