    Depressed

    I went to ENT a week after onset. He gave me high dose prednisolone. I was lucky the medicine worked. It's also strange that after my visit to different ENTs, my T was always lower. They just did normal test. Strange but true. Maybe for your case, you need another methods.

    Depressed

    Hang on there, I have been through the worst T before (loud, three tones and no sound can mask it) so I am just thankful that my T is quieter. It is still there but I don't care now. Hopefully yours subsides like mine.

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

    @gotyoubynuts Maybe I got used to it but Yes I feel much better, but I think you need to protect your ears just in case yours are too sensitive. I prefer to hear the tinnitus with my earplugs than having a bad tinnitus in the night because of loud sounds. I don't know what makes it louder but I...

    New Problem — Friend Slammed Cupboard Door — Will This New Frequency Go Away?

    I went to ENT today. Slept only 2 hours last night. After ENT, my ear is always better somehow. Test here and there but no medication given. I hoped it's just a spike because of the sound. I haven't eaten anything because I am scared of the effect. I can stay hungry but I cannot have a bad spike.

    New Problem — Friend Slammed Cupboard Door — Will This New Frequency Go Away?

    now I have high frequency noise which can be heard everywhere. I am just hoping it settles down and I can enjoy a walk in the city again. No sorry, no empathy after she did that. It made me very sad. Things are in the right direction with the corticosteroids, I could enjoy silence once in a...

    New Problem — Friend Slammed Cupboard Door — Will This New Frequency Go Away?

    @Jamie m we had an argument about her past and she thought I didn't care. It's hard to think clearly with tinnitus. She started banging the plates and shut the cupboard doors with high speed. Whether it's impulse or in purpose, it's just unacceptable. She never got mad like that previously. I...

    Stress and the Prevalence of Hearing Problems and Tinnitus

    @Alue exactly what I experienced. I didn't understand why the T came when I was happy with my health progress. I am also suspecting my anti constipation medicine (movicol). I think there were too many imbalances (hormones, ions) combined with cancer scare. Mind and body stresses created the...

    Stress and the Prevalence of Hearing Problems and Tinnitus

    I used to be a very active person (muscular and all). Last year I gave up my diet and exercise. I gained 10kg. I had serious bowel problems. One internist referred me to do colonoscopy. The colonoscopy was clear but the problem persisted. I went to another internist, he diagnosed me with...

    @glynis or the rest. I am on prednisolone now. I feel much better than my first day. Will the effect of this medication permanent or temporary? My cause is unknown. Maybe my body and mind were stressed out to the max. During this time, my internist diagnosed my constipation for other things. My...
