    Does anyone who follows the biotech market know when best time is (based on historical performance of the sector) to invest in a biotech IPO? The minute it goes public? A few days later? A week?

    I've had tinnitus for two years now. Yay! I just moved to a new city and would like to explore the night scene. Is it safe to go to bars with ear plugs as long as ambient noise levels don't peak above 80 dB? I am so tired of sitting alone at home on Friday and Saturday nights and would like to...

    If Prednisone Is Ototoxic, Why Is It Prescribed for Acoustic Trauma?

    I'm on a 5 day course of prednisone after noise exposure and aural fullness. Now I find out that prednisone is an ototoxic drug?! Why is it a common treatment for sudden hearing loss and acoustic trauma when it damages the ear? Also, after three days on prednisone, my left ear still feels full.

    Everything Sounds Tinny

    I got noise induced tinnitus (mild) three months ago after going to a club. Now I can't listen to music or talk radio without it sounding tinny. Plus, I can feel my ears closing up when I try to listen. Does this improve over time or is my hearing ruined forever?
