Hi - I'm sorry it's been a few days since you've written this. I took Prednisolone after experiencing barotrauma two months ago. I started the course eight days after the trauma. At that time, I had ear pain, mastoid aching, and fluid buildup behind my eardrum, along with two new tinnitus...

Hi there, I’m so sorry you’re going through such a difficult time right now. I want to share a success story that might give you some hope. You may have already seen it on the site. I recently spoke with a friend of the poster, and they mentioned that @BrysonKingMe (the original poster) has...

I accidentally came across a slide series from a lecture about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). It mentioned that “green” ears, those less exposed to noise, are more susceptible to damage than “ripe” ears, which have been exposed to noise before. This suggests that there’s a balance between...

@MrChips13, you can download an app called MediaHuman Audio Converter to convert the file from WAV to AIFF. After converting, you should be able to add it to your Apple Music library and transfer it to your phone. I’m very interested in notched audio, but I have so many sounds that I wouldn’t...

How are you doing now, @Leine? It’s been almost a year since your increase in tones. Has there been any improvement for you? I’m asking because I developed about five new sounds (maybe more—it’s hard to tell since they all blend and dance together) after a course of Prednisolone in August. I’m...

@MrChips13 & @Nick47, this may seem like a silly question, but do either of you have silver fillings in your teeth? I bought ALA and have taken it a few times, but with some hesitation because I read that it’s a chelator and could move mercury released from fillings around your body. It might be...

(Source) The website above mentions that palinacousis can occur due to reduced hearing. In the thread below, a person experiencing palinacousis shared that many people with hyperacusis he spoke to had experienced it in 2017. This suggests that auditory deprivation or reduction may be a...

I had a similar experience. I took a 60mg course of Prednisone, but I tapered very slowly, hoping the tones would go away, so I ended up taking it for about two weeks. I’m now four weeks post-withdrawal, and all the sounds are still there. I really hope some of them start to fade in the next few...

I’ve also been experiencing palinacousis on and off since I took Prednisolone two months ago. I’ve had tinnitus since April, and the medication (in August) added a bunch of new sounds, as well as the palinacousis. I didn’t have it every day, but my brain would pick up noises like the vacuum...

I got palinacousis from Prednisolone.

Hi, I have reactive tinnitus with about 10 different tones. I developed several new tones while tapering off prednisolone. During that time, the noise was the loudest I had ever experienced. I also had palinacousis, where my tinnitus mimicked sounds from my environment, like the hum of a vacuum...

Hi Zigs, I developed this tone too after being on Prednisolone a few weeks ago. Please bear with me if this comes off as a ramble; I find it difficult to get my point across succinctly, so I hope this all makes sense. While taking Prednisolone, my vagus nerve (specifically the auricular...

Has this got any better for you?

Hey @star-affinity, this sounds a lot like my ear issues with tinnitus & hyperacusis. I get the burning and crawling - I think it's sensitisation of the nerves etc. How is this now for you? Has there been improvement?

Hey there, I've just started experiencing this tone, and it's awful. I find it very difficult to stay asleep because the pitch keeps shifting up and down, like a tiny siren or fire alarm. I really hope it settles at one pitch soon, as that would be much easier to tune out. I did experience an...

Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well. This is my first post, and I'm reaching out for advice about a specific tinnitus sound. I've been trying to follow the Back to Silence method (which has been helping me habituate), but this new sound is strange, and I can't ignore it. Nearly three weeks...
