    Vitamin D Deficiency: Doctor Recommended High Dose, Safe?

    Hello, I just had a blood panel done and my vitamin D levels were very low, at 4. The doctor recommended 0.266 mg of Vit D every 10 days for a month, which is about 10,000 IU. It seems to me like this is quite a high dose. Is this too much? Could it be toxic to my ears? Has anyone experienced...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    That's actually more than a theory. Taking Prednisone while fighting an infection will leave you vulnerable to the infection, and viruses and other invaders. It suppresses the immune system. I have read that morse code has been linked to a viral infection. But nothing is for certain. I believe...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    Were you taking anything else besides prednisone? Such as an allergy medicine, antibiotics, or similar? I took prednisone twice during the onset of my tinnitus. Both times I noticed new noises. The first time it was the morse code and the hard drive. The second time I experienced a strange low...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    I am glad to be of help. I felt that way when I first got the new noises, I know what it's like, not pretty, but it gets better. The morse code is perhaps more distracting than the hissing, but if you can mask it when you sleep, you'll be good (maybe calm music, guided meditation, radio)...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    When I get sick, I do exactly the same thing. I have been to so many doctors in the US. I then went to so many doctors in Europe, looking for hope, to no avail. The interesting thing is that in both continents, emergency doctors, family doctors, and even ENTs, will prescribe ototoxic...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    Thank you for your kind words. I did get that drone type of noise as well (not exactly a vaccum cleaner), sometimes it comes back, but it is usually not there. That phone example is very accurate. And, yes! The computer loading files, the working noise of the hard drive... that noise is very...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    Definitely. Most people taking prednisone report their tinnitus went down a little, then returns as soon as they stop the dosage. In my case, I know that Azithromycin made mine worse. That's when things turned ugly. Anectodal data, perhaps, but I am sure many users here have experienced that...

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    Hello @Romain B. , It's been a little over a year and both noises are there, but barely audible most of the time. I still have hyperaccussis and reactive tinnitus (hissing and electrical noises that get worse when ambient noise is present, resulting in tinnitus spiking like crazy) and it...

    Update on My Treatment

    Hello Dave, I was just prescribed triptyzol for my accute tinnitus by a neurologist in Spain. Did your treatment keep the volume down after the 4 month period? I have not taken it yet and have been suffering from tinnitus since July 2016. Thanks for the help

    Will Prednisone Help? Multitone, ETD, Barotrauma

    Hello everyone, I have been reading this forum for a while and was hoping you could give me a hand with my tinnitus case. I am a 35-year-old male living in a valley in Oregon. It all began back in mid July when I noticed my right eye pupil was bigger than the left one. I also felt congestion in...
