    Steroid Injection Into Ear a Month After Noise Exposure?

    I know this question has been asked in older threads - however - mostly it seems it's done right after an acoustic trauma. I did have a noise exposure about a month ago but not really a big deal and did NOT affect my other ear. So I'm assuming it really wouldn't have done anything other than...

    Need Help About Additional Tests

    I'm going back to the ENT and will have another audiogram. MRI is rescheduled yet again and he had previously mentioned a CAT scan which I'm not thrilled about either. I was wondering about any other testing like an EEG with sound to check for vestibular hyperacusis. I've seen other...

    Stress Starting to Bother Me

    MRI Anxiety and Questions

    I am scheduled to have an MRI on a closed but short bore machine in about a week. I am very claustrophobic and I hate taking medication (Dr prescribed Valium which I haven't had before). To my mind it seems if there is a feeling of "danger" I don't want to be sedated. I have had OCD since I...

    Intro with Questions About Coexisting Issues

    Tinnitus started one week before Christmas 2010 with ear pain in R ear and dizziness. I was a young widow with two kids and not sure if stress and the holidays had started it. I was not able to get anything checked out by an Ent and regular doc was not concerned so I just adapted Last Nov...
