A day or two before I noticed my hearing loss/tinnitus I actually listened to Enjoy The Silence on my brand new headphones. I remember thinking WOW this sounds so much better than my crappy $20 pair. I wish I stayed with my crappy headphones.

I felt the same way when my tinnitus started in February. It's hard to say what was responsible for my tinnitus improving, as I've taken steroids, eased up on headphone use as well as changing my diet. I'd say that steroids did wonders for both my hearing and T, but the improvements faded after...

See an ophthalmologist immediately! I had vision problems last year that turned out to be an infection. Hoping you can take meds for it, and get it resolved quickly.

Hi all, I had what I thought to be NIHL a few months ago in February (the ENT was not 100% convinced it was ) after I played a video game for an extended period of time at a volume that was a higher than usual (I'm going to try and replicate the volume levels and measure it using an SPL meter)...

@NatureHiker That's actually my fear that may have already manifested itself. My first run into T could have been/or not been caused by my hearing loss, only the second time I knew for sure it was related to acoustic trauma just because it happened within 20-30 seconds of putting on my...

@Aschenherz I can relate to you somewhat. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for quite a while (was forced into a clinic about a year ago because it got out of hand) before my hearing became an issue a couple months ago. I actually think the medication I'm on (for mood) could be...

@NatureHiker I agree with what you're saying, I'm generally a hypochondriac and I'm already on medication for anxiety. I'm sure if given enough time I'll probably have something other than my hearing loss/ tinnitus to worry about.

That does seem like a very low dose. I was actually worried that when I was prescribed my two rounds of prednisone that they were way too low. 60mg for 3 days, 40mg for 3 days, more taper. The ENT i saw was not confident that it actually was the reason for my improvement, but two weeks after...

@NatureHiker That's interesting. I only really noticed my tinnitus about a week after I had hearing loss, and that might actually be due to the fact that I had heard and example of tinnitus. I'm not completely confident that I had T before as I often complained that things were too silent for me...

Hi all, I've been looking at various threads here for a couple months now (as well as many other places that discusses hearing-related problems), but I've finally decided to make a post because it feels things are slowly going downhill for me. I've included a bit of a backstory but you can go...
