Just to share my experience, I was on oral Prednisone for 15 days as the first line treatment, with no discernible effects on my T. I think corticoids' being effective or not will probably depend on your T's underlying cause.

Feeling good about not feeling bad.

Looks like you may have some form of somatic tinnitus. That's not the most usual type of tinnitus AFAIK, but you might be right that computer work stresses our neck/shoulders/back in a way that can contribute to developing (or reinforcing) some types of tinnitus. I can also tell you that I...

According to Wikipedia (in a paragraph duly referenced): "Tinnitus affects 10–15% of people. About a third of North Americans over 55 experience tinnitus. Tinnitus affects one third of adults at some time in their lives, whereas ten to fifteen percent are disturbed enough to seek medical...

There seems to be, unfortunately, no certainty so far as to the possible causal relation between T and computer usage (be it by noise, EMF or ergonomics). But if that was the case, the historical data on T prevalence should show a dramatic increase over the last few decades, in tune with the...

Well I only listen to loud music sporadically, and even then, not extremely loud. I would be very surprised that that was the cause that triggered my T. Moreover, my T appeared at the same time as a feeling of pressure in and near my ears that I'm quite sure is (or points to) the real cause of...

Thank you guys for your answers: @Greg Sacramento, from your reply I gather you mean that not only those affected by noise-induced tinnitus should beware of using headphones, but all those affected by any type of hearing-loss (whether it's noise-induced or otherwise) should. @Michael Leigh...

I've seen the recommendation several times in this forum of not using headphones nor exposing yourself to loud noises if you have tinnitus, or you'll risk harming your hearing or worsening your T forever. That's not a warning to be taken lightly. However, I have to ask, is this the case for...

Just for the record, I've been trying this low-salt, extra water diet during the last two weeks, with the hope that my T was caused by endolymphatic hydrops. But I haven't noticed any change so far. I still have the same constant hiss in both my ears, together with the low-pitch rumble produced...

By the way, the URL in the first post seems not to work anymore. This URL does work though. Plus, in case the authors read this: - One of the links in the chart points to a blank page (Prevention -> page 70). - I think bruxism is missing from the chart --several sources mention it as another...

A great interactive chart (follow the link, don't just watch the OP's image of it). I don't understand however why it assumes that any non-pulsatile, constant tinnitus has necessarily to be accompanied by some other symptom (be it vertigo, headache, hearing loss, etc.). Sometimes a constant T is...

Interesting. Articles I've read on hydrops so far didn't mention the fact that, if untreated, it leads to a progressive hearing loss. I would love to see a medical source that states such an important thing, if possible.

Thank you so much guys for your answers. Tato, your comments are very insightful. Even if it's great to have found a working solution, it's a bit discouraging that you have to keep on such a strict low-sodium diet for all your life if you don't want your symptoms back. Unless one has a very...

No one?

I suffered from insomnia (the kind that wakes you up in the middle of the night) for nearly one year before I developed my tinnitus. Are both things related? I don't know. If so, it might be that one thing ignited (or contributed to) the other, or it might also be that both things have a common...

Hi there! I've been reading lately on this condition --endolymphatic or cochlear hydrops--, but there are some questions about it that remain unanswered to me. Perhaps some people here can share their knowledge about it. - What type of tinnitus do you hear when you have hydrops? - Low-salt...

Actually, I think I have night bruxism (undiagnosed yet), and there's a possibility my tinnitus is related to it, although my symptoms of it are not very evident (perhaps it's a mild form of bruxism). Anyways, I've tried massaging the area as you suggest and haven't noticed any relief in my T or...

Hi there, About three months ago (one or two days after I made a big effort at a fun run, although I can't be sure both things are related) I started having this hiss-like tinnitus in both ears, and at the same time I have a feeling of pressure in my ears and also in the areas of my neck close...
