I was given this medication by my doctor pre-tinnitus, as I felt a bit down. I remember that tinnitus was a known side effect of the drug, listed on the piece of paper that comes with it. I never took it, so I can't say how common it is, but I would be careful. If your tinnitus does come from...

Hyperacusis does go away, either by itself and your ears being less sensitive as they relearn that the everyday sounds are not harmful. But there are also meds that can improve, as hyperacusis is also a mental problem. In my case, Zinc, Paracetamol or Alprazolam had incredible effects on it, it...

Some positive vibes from me, my situation seems to keep improving, it's been 4 weeks now and over the last 4 days I have made quite some progress. It seems as my "pattern" worked out, but I still hear something when it's very quiet or I wear my noise cancelling headphones. Sometimes the bell...

I keep on improving every day a little bit, dont lose hope, but be willing to fight every day.

I was told that noise is often just the final straw, but other stuff comes first. In my case, I was on antibiotics for 3 weeks, just 50 mg, but it seemed to have weakened my ear. I also was a bit crippled inside the MRI; so the blood flow was less good. It seems to be have just added up in my...

I spent a lot of time with doctors and psychologists and next one is a neurologist. There is a common pattern among their opinions. If it's a one time trauma, either like an explosion or a loudness of a longer time around 90 dB, the chances are high that you will recover. This has to do with...

The health system in Germany is terrible, there is no doubt about that. But what should we do, take a flight to the United States? It might make it even worse, due to all the stress and noise, so we have to take what we can get. It´s also a financial issue, if we can´t work, we get no money, so...

I noticed the same when I take my hearing protection off for some minutes, it's as if my brain rewires parts of it or something. But yea, I am too scared too expose myself to a lot of noise. As for the meds, I never took any meds all my life, so for me this is also brand new, but there seems to...

I wanted to give a review of my past week. Last Thursday, I was feeling very good and already thought about a "it's gone" post, here at the forum. On the following day, at the evening, the sounds came back badly and I cried for 2 days. Today, a week later I can say that my very first sympton...

Same here, the meds have helped, it's insane how much torture it is, if you feel that your ears are exploding. There is no escape, no rescue, except for the meds. I am grateful for them, they did nothing bad to me, but only good. In one week, the dosage is down to zero and then the road...

My doctor said, that if we are stressed out, the blood flow can become a bit crippled. If we consider that music is very important for us and that we understandably freak out over nothing in regards to our hearing, we might have had a setback by noise, but it was much more severe than for...

Thank you, I guess it does work now indeed. :)

My doctor said, that stress and noise can cause some inner ear reaction, that Prednisolone is able to fix. There is a guy called "Stennerd" who invented a day by day routine, but it's usually taken for heavy hearing loss, which is not that obvious in my case. I never felt I hear worse, but my...

Sitting in my living room, no noises, laying in bed, they are there. Confusing!

Great to hear that! I hope that many more will be able to profit from these treatments. I often wonder where we could be today, if we wouldnt think too much about "what is right and what is wrong" if we talk about maniplulating cells and organ material. I hope your recovery will go on!

Thank you! There are moments, when the two sounds are gone. The high pitched one, I only notice when I actually think about it, it´s the sound that was there right from the start, so it´s the longest, but now also most harmful one. My "horn" sound that I discovered last week on Friday, is...

My ENT told me, it starts around the three weeks mark, to get the toxic stuff slowly out of your system. Of course, this is just his words, but I was advised to drink a lot and take antioxidant supplements. He said it's just temporary, but needs time. I hope you improve soon!

My situation is unchanged, still a fire alarm in my right ear, but it disappears a few times a day, or I just no longer notice it. I am in complete silence, so there is no masking or noise stuff happening. I watch tv with subtitles and drink a lot. A few times today, I had no ear plugs in and...

Similar situation on my end. The horn, fire alarm sound is very quiet in the background, I have to focus on it to hear it. The electrified sound seems unchanged, but might also have a lot to do with my nerves. Doctors meeting is tomorrow, good luck with your situation and protect those ears, it...

I have been taking curcum, zink and other supplements all my life, at least since I started with a very busy lifestyle. So many of them are not new for me. As for the medication, i started taking Prednisolon 40mg and later 60 mg daily, 4 days after the sounds appeared. I did not notice much...

I had 5 MRI in 5 years, never anything bad happened, but this time my right ear developed a Tinnitus. Its been 2 weeks and 3 days since then. To me it seems that doing it once, if you are healthy is not a big deal, but doing it maybe once a year, can break your neck. I did wear the protection...

Same for me. The past 20 years it let me survive the stuff that I experienced very young, but so was watching movies and TV shows. I had all the protection, always, 75DB in the booth, headphones in the 70s, tv and radio very quiet, did cover my ears when trains arrived... I was so careful...

I would not risk that, I know how recklessness promoters can be with their events, while my DJ booths never had more than 75 dB, the stuff on the floor easily reached 100db. The loudness war has crippled a lot of people over the years, you also notice that if you listen to music from today and...

My night was quite calm, no big sounds appeared just some white noise with a very distance fireworker car, I hear that for many years as there is a station nearby, not sure why the T has now the sound of it. Overall, 6 hours of sleep with one hour interruption was good. I will see if taking the...

I settled slightly now I guess, soon is night time and I am slowly preparing for that part. Took some incense oil, also got some berries that promote sleep, last ones though. Thanks again for the comfort!

I have been taking Magnesium, curcum and other supplements for years now. Also zink and other stuff, its been like that all my life, as I did a lot of sports too. My T faded slowly over the past week, so that indeed it was only there when I was in total silence or when I was raising my heart...

Those words are true. I had a friend in school, he was so down, 3 hours after we left the club, he tried to kill himself. Its so important to listen to people who are depressed, else it may become a slow death experience. Especially tinnitus seems to be ignored as much by society as depression...

She sadly passed away about 6 years ago, but she was suffering a lot, so for her it was relief. She also had very bad eye sight. I was always afraid to end up like her, it´s silly to pity myself like that, she had it a million times harder... I wish i could have been there for her more, but I...

Well said, its just the same for me. To be annoyed at someone for the most stupid reasons, or at things that happen in your countries politics, or at a DJ changing his style... it all seems so stupid today. My grandmother suffered from hearing loss, she had a terrible time and today I realize...

I am scared

Thank you, I saw many of your posts and always loved your positivity, especially if we consider that you are most likely in a much worse situation than many of us. Keep that attitude alive, I strongly believe that there is god and he will not let this unnoticed.

I am not sure how to PM someone, but I surely would do so if someone can show me how. :) but this sentence is exactly how I feel. I took so many things for granted like watching a movie, sitting on the balcony and now I realize how precious all of that was. It seems as if that experience could...

Small update about today. The 200mg seem to have helped me quite a bit, I was just eating and I had tiny seconds when the annoying horn sound was gone. I had to look for it, to find it again, no comparison to yesterday, when I did not take the meds. The pulsating, electified sound next to my...

Yes, I am quite sure there was damage done, I would never deny that, even if the doctors cant find it, nor can I, I did run some tests myself, no difference between both ears. I refuse to run more tests for now though, as I am afraid it could hurt me more than it would benefit. As for my...

I can relate to this so well, I was also kicked out of my world like there is no tomorrow. I loved watching movies, had several tv shows queued up for April, liked playing video games, working as a musician and now all I did and love, is gone. I spend most time looking for answers, sitting in...

I made the same experience with my medication, took it for about 2 weeks, low dosage of 40 - 60 mg, after taking it, the sounds became quieter and calmer, you could actually witness it in real time. I often put on ear protection, the silence was actually good for my hearing, but when the meds...

Hi all, I am Sasha and for 2 and a half weeks, a member of your "precious" club. Your Forum gave me quite some support by just reading it, some of your members are very positive and supportive and I have a huge amount of respect for everyone here, who is coping with our "symptoms" for such a...
