After the onset I had a course of Prednisone that reduced my tinnitus by around 30%. Since then it's constant or lowers when I take vitamin B complex or Magnesium.

I experienced insomnia, so just in case ask to your doctor something to balance this possible side effect. Good luck

God luck Ruben! All the best - come back soon home

Hi all and hi @Manuel Tissm, as I posted recently, I was prescribed Gabapentin for backache (together with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory med). After one week I can say Gabapentin doesn't affect my T - it remains at the same level.

You should go immediately to the emergency room and check if you got a sudden hearing loss. It's reversible if you receive medical treatment in due time

@Valentina @Lorenzo74 @Viking glad to met you here all of you are special people ciao ragazzi

Today doctor prescribed me Gabapentin for a nerve problem (backache). I'll let you know if/how it will affect my T

You catched the point! Let's do this way. If that's not a temporary spike, I'll offer you a round-trip to Rome for a pizza - but don't cheat ;). Sounds really good you want to make more of life.Best of luck for your new job!

No damage. The WHO's safe listening times are: 85 dB - the level of noise inside a car - eight hours 90 dB - lawn mower - two hours 30 minutes 95 dB - an average motorcycle - 47 minutes 100 dB - car horn or underground train - 15 minutes 105 dB - mp3 player at maximum volume - four minutes 115...

Steve, I have to thank you. Musical neuronmodulation file saved me in the past when T was bothering. The only way to calm down it (15 min. listening was enough)

Stay strong, Anthony. It's a manageable condition. Did you take a look at this: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/panic/? The boys here on the forum do a wonderful job, and you can find a lot of good advices. You don't have hearing loss, that's a good point. Here in Italy the front lines when T...

Hi @Anthony Hunt, sorry to hear that. What kind of infusion you were given?

"Less than 2% of patients treated with Claritin develop tinnitus as a side effect" (source: italian hearing care organization). I'd not worry - ask the doctor to change anti allergic med in case. Good luck

Yes. I can say 30%. Hang in there

@Rina Prednisone can give this kind of side effect. It's absolutely normal. If it works for your T, don't stop it. Ask the doctor something that can balance your anxiety. After the onset, I was prescribed a course of prednisone and it worked for me, lowering the T

Left ear. Don't panic! 99% dr will find nothing abnormal

Did you ever try to mask it?

@Rina One mounth - supplement of B2,B3,B5,B6,B12 vitamins. I take magnesium too

Recently I had a course of vitamin B complex. T lowered - of course can be a coincidence

you are welcome @Robb. I really think that's enough to protect the ears when it's necessary. I mean, if you have a long walk everyday near city traffic probably better do it. By the way, lately I had a course of B vitamin complex and my T now lowered around 30%. I hope too Autifony will help...

Sounds good! Keep in touch

Michael, you can manage it, and the spike can be temporary. It's a common experience. Hang in there, let us know after the appointment!

"Of all the benzodiazepines studied, only oxazepam and clonazepam were significantly more effective than antihistamines in suppressing chronic tinnitus, but these two drugs alleviated the symptom in 52 per cent and 69 per cent of the individuals treated respectively. Oxazepam 30 milligrams daily...

That's so good you are OK, welcome back...after the battle

@Stink is right, stop worrying so much! A temporary spike after a flight it's normal, it will lower. Follow the WHO rules: The WHO's safe listening times are: 85 dB - the level of noise inside a car - eight hours 90 dB - lawn mower - two hours 30 minutes 95 dB - an average motorcycle - 47...

No risks on liquid Tylenol, no way paracetamol can affect your T

Feel for you, @Dr. Nagler. Hope it's temporary. Wish you well

Try to wear headphones while watching tv - at a low-level volume. It helped me a lot.

If you found useful brown noise, keep the volume a little bit lower than T

You are welcome, Alek. I can say that three-four months after the onset I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Couple of months more and I started to have my life back. My anxiety-depression is over, I am living again normally; T it's just a background sound that I ignore except when I check...

Alek, yes, it will come a day you'll no longer be zoned out, sooner than you imagine. I came across your feelings after the onset. I learned that my enemies were anxiety and depression, so I warmly advice you to see a specialist that can help you. Right now, you need to deal with your reaction...

Feel for you, @sandra72. That day will come sooner than you imagine - you already were doing fine isn't it? So it's normal having this feeling from time to time. It's really possible that here and now your enemy is the anxiety, that changes the perception of your T. Think about talking to a...

No problem. It's a very low dose

The same.

Ok, I am not a veteran. Anyway: 1- Yes. Doesn't bother me anymore. 2- Yes. I prefer watch TV wearing headphones (at low volume, helped me a lot). 3- Gradually. I stopped checking obsessively tinnitus. 4- I'd say around 6-8 months. 5- 99 %. 1% is related to being careful taking not ototoxic...

Treatment of acute tinnitus There is a consensus among clinicians and researchers that different neuronal mechanisms are involved in the onset of tinnitus and in the transition from acute to chronic tinnitus. Therefore, treatment approaches will probably vary with the duration of the disease...

I totally agree, but I'd start with a higher dosage (of course, always to discuss with doctor!)

The sense of fullness is normal at this stage, once recovered it will go away together with the ringing. Don't focus on it!

If ENT diagnosed an infection, the anthibiotics should work in 4-7 days. I'd give a try to prednisone too

@Lisa123 did you see a doctor? I'd discuss with the ENT a course of prednisone and non-ototoxic anthibiotics

@Mark McDill I had a epidural anaesthesia, and it didn't affect my T. Good luck!

@Rhea it's very unlikely you had permanent damages. Hope you feel better

Go. But: 1) wear ear plugs 2) stay away from loudspeakers don't let tinnitus drive your life, and enjoy the concert!

I protect my ears when I ride my motorcycle. The same at cinemas and stadium. Sometimes during long trips by car or on airplanes

Moderate volume level absolutely won't damage your ears., I'd give it a try ;)

@Lisa Robinson try to watch tv wearing headphones at a moderate volume. I have infrared type, work well. The sound is closer and clear, you don't need to turn on the volume over the ambient noises making react your T

Hi @Cassandra alcohol makes louder my T. Always gets better after a while...don't worry, it's a spike, you'll be ok soon

@Street Spirit my ENT says you have a 48 hours window of opportunity for steroids. Magnesium and vitamins are already protecting you, but @Karen is right, try NAC. Anyway, don't worry. It's a short exposure, your T will settle down. Hugs

Hi @Fish do you have news about electrostimulation? Anyway I emailed the staff to know if their are continuing the study or if this treatment is available

@MariaH Hi Nina, I'd try to wear ear plugs only when necessary. I see we got the onset at the same time...and thanks, I am doing well. Luckily T level doesn' t get worse, I can say I am habituated. Just taking supplements (cycles of magnesium, different vitamins) and paying attention to loud...

@MariaH you started getting better recently, so there's no reason your new sound will stay there. Did you see a ENT? Any test?

@Thopeful prednisone lowered my T around 30% after the onset. More than a year after, it's still at the same level. Good luck!

Ask your ENT for a course of prednisone, it can greatly work in some cases, it's needed take it as soon as possible after the onset. Stay strong, it's really possible T will disappear when the infection will be totally cured

Yes, it's difficult, very difficult for most of us. From a rational point of view, it's logical that we all understand T it's not dangerous. But some unconscious mechanisms work by themselves, and we can't immediately control them. They control us. For some months after the onset I felt really...

I have a lot more of good days it's a good starting point, don't you think? From my point of view, part of the habituation process is that when you have bad days you don't care, as your brain slowly learned to don't target T as a dangerous sound. @Karen is right: for some, it just may take more...

The dosage is very low, as short is the prescribed period. So don't worry.

Thank you @billie48 if only I could find out the reason of this break a second after I'd share the info on this wonderful forum

Yesterday evening I was vegging out on the couch, watching a movie, wearing headphones. When I took them off, I felt something strange. After few seconds I realized my T was gone. I mean gone. I closed the window and stood in the room focusing on T, but... nothing (I have unilateral T at left...

Since the onset I have been two times on amoxicillin and it didn't affect my T
