Just saw an ad on TV, they now have medicine to cure people's double chins: https://www.mykybella.com/ Incredible, but somehow finding an effective drug that can even provide some tinnitus relief, let alone cure it, appears to be beyond the reach of modern medicine.

I would say see an ENT with experience with Tinnitus and let her/him decide. Continuing the steroid may not be the worst idea, but the biggest impact from them you usually get right at the beginning/

So to summarize my experience, I had 4 intratympanic injections done with Dexamethasone, each about 7-10 days apart. I have to say it's one of the most unpleasant things I have ever done in my life. Especially the first injection was rough, the nurse sprayed lidocaine in my ear with compressed...

I am also at 1.5 months now. Initially, just as you I had hope that T would go away again, but coming to terms with the fact now that it won't. Most days I can deal with it pretty well, my T is still relatively mild. On a few days though, the whole why me and what will it do to my life thinking...

Thanks everybody for your responses. Don't think I am paranoid, but just a little bummed out that this happened to me right in the middle of my job search. The whole forum is full of people that say that they either had to stop working or only work from home now due to their T. You can say...

Thanks Rubenslash, appreciate your insights. I hope this will be the case with me too, where stress doesn't affect it that much. But I see your T is also still pretty new, less than a year old. Don't you worry that in the mid- to long-term your challenging work and life schedule can make your T...

Nobody? If anybody here is working a pretty demanding job, can they share how it affects their tinnitus and how they manage it?

So I developed T recently while I was hunting for a new job. Possible that the stress of job searching has contributed to it onset. I had then put all job search on hold for like a month after I got it just to sort myself out, but I have now gotten back into it. I work in financial technology...

Yeah, believe me, no more music via headphones for me. Only using them for white noise now or Tonal Tinnitus Therapy.

Hi, I am a new T sufferer, I am 38 and my T is in my left ear only, mostly caused by high freq HL due to headphone usage (and possibly previous infection, since my HL is in one ear only, but didn't really notice it until the T). My T is currently mostly mild, but after reading the forum here...

Thanks, will do, I guess you are the expert on these injections due the trial you participated in. Right before the injection, he put something in my ear that burned like hell, I assume it was some combination of disinfectant and numbing agent. I had some notable tinnitus spike last night from...

I had my first intratympanic injection today, which I have to say is probably one of the most unpleasant experiences I ever had in my life, I hope the next three injections will be better. But what really annoyed me is at the beginning the nurse using pressured air to blow Lidocaine into my...

https://www.amazon.com/EarPlanes-Value-Pack-3-pairs/dp/B001HTWL8C?th=1 Are those the EarPlanes you are talking about? They may be a worthwhile investment for Tinnitus sufferers.

I have never done it before, but I heard you should take some decongestant (like Sudafed) to aid pressure equalization in your ears. And avoid flying with a bad cold.

Oh man, I hope this is not common. Did you take any decongestants like Sudafed before the flight?

Well, whatever makes her feel better. If believing that she has some superpower instead of some defect helps her accept and live with the T, then let her. Maybe we all should start looking at our T as some sort of superpower and gift.

As a new T sufferer, it's disheartening to read how many people seem to end up on antidepressants, anti anxiety drugs, sleeping pills, etc due to this. This can't be good for our health, especially in the long-term. If they would just find a way to treat T we wouldn't need all this crap. But...

Ok, bumping this thread one more time in case anybody else has anything more to share, otherwise I will go ahead on Wednesday and do it. Even though there is a very small chance only of it doing anything. I have noticed that while I was on Prednisone, my T went away completely, especially I...

That's the weird part, I don't remember ever having an ear infection in my whole life. But when I was younger, I had some issues with HSV infections in my eyes and nose, so it's possible that that also made it into the ear one time without me noticing. It's no cancerous, but it's still a tumor...

Thanks, that is good to know, I will definitely watch out for the suctioning. The thing is I don't believe my HL was sudden, I think I had been experiencing degraded hearing for years before (e.g., difficulty understanding people in a place with lots of background noise). But then again, I...

Yes, reason is pretty much unknown. I have been somewhat irresponsible with my hearing all of my life, listing to music for long periods of time via headphones on most days. But my ENT said that HL should be in both ears then if it was purely headphone induced. So either my left ear is just...

Sure, that's exactly how I feel about it too. When I have to live the rest of my life with T, at least I want to know that I have tried everything. But after reading several threads here that it just made the T worse, that's something I definitely don't want.

Anybody has some more insights? Reading up on this procedure under the following links doesn't make me feel all too good about it: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tympanic-steroid-injections.9228/ https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/intratympanic-steroid-injections-any-success.17882/...

Wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I am pretty new to T as well and also still coming to terms with the fact that this will stay with me for the rest of my life. I guess we can only hope that with time it will get better, and maybe, just maybe, someone will eventually find a...

Don't worry too much. I was in a same situation as you just last week, I matched the text book description of acoustic neuroma: gradual onset high freq HL in my left ear with tinnitus, while my right ear is normal. Got an MRI done this week and it turns out nothing is there. Acoustic neuromas...

Yes, I agree, if it doesn't make it worse, it would probably do it. Just want to make sure those shots haven't made it worse for anybody here.

Hi, I am 38 yo male and I developed T about 4 weeks ago in my left ear. My T seems to be coming from high freq HL in my left ear, probably caused by years of headphone usage (although my right hear has good hearing and no T). One week after onset, I went to doc, who put me on a 3 week course of...

"Madness is the gift, that has been given to me"

Anybody tried or have an opinion on an app called "Tonal Tinnitus Therapy"? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.appyhapps.tinnitusmassage&hl=en It seems to do something very similar. Cost is reasonable at $1.99. My T seems to respond well to it, where I can't hear it anymore...

Yeah, I hear you, 2016 is very bad for me as well. 2015 was already pretty bad and I had high hopes for 2016 to be better. It started out pretty well, but towards the end it really spiraled downhill. Not much seems to have been going my way, and now I acquired T 3 weeks ago and learning to deal...

Thanks, that I am aware of (unfortunately). Since the Prednisone is not helping, I have pretty much resigned myself to joining the club of T sufferers. It's really unfair we have been cursed with this, many of us at a relatively young age. And it only seems to get worse as you get older. It...

Hi, New to the forum and looking for some support. I am 38 y/o male that just started having tinnitus in my left ear. It started two and a half weeks ago, after a long intensive workout session, and hasn't left me since. I saw an ENT one week after onset and he put me on Prednisone and...
