    Would You Have Children with Pre‐Existing Tinnitus?

    I've had tinnitus as long as I can remember. But it only got to the point of unbearable last year... We had our baby on 9-17-2020. Most days are still unbearable, and I find my self sheltering from his screams at times. But I still wouldn't change it for the world. If I was told tinnitus...

    Tinnitus Neuromodulation Video Provided Relief (Tinnitus from 4-5/10 to a 1/10)

    Google "exposure to high frequency sound" and you will find all the articles you are looking to read. But first you may need to Google "learning how to read". So you can actually understand what is being said in the article.

    Tinnitus Neuromodulation Video Provided Relief (Tinnitus from 4-5/10 to a 1/10)

    Well I guess you should keep reading then. Something you clearly have a hard time doing. Because there are articles out there that state even a one time exposure of high frequency can fry frequencies.

    Tinnitus Neuromodulation Video Provided Relief (Tinnitus from 4-5/10 to a 1/10)

    I'd stay away from this video. This is how I worsened my tinnitus. My tinnitus was barely audible. But I obsessed over it. So I tried to completely get rid of it. Listened to this for 5 minutes... and fried some high frequencies. My tinnitus is now 12 kHz in both ears. Really unbearable.

    Should I Get Audiological Testing and Treatment?

    Hey all - I am going to a new audiologist this week. And these are the tests she is wanting to perform on me. Extended high frequency audiometry, uncomfortable loudness levels, acoustic reflex decay, tinnitus loudness, pitch, and stimulus matching. Do any of these tests pose a threat to...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Or KNOWING the true side effects. I am not a fan of big pharma, and questioned my ENT about side effects before starting the medication.

    Ear Fullness / Pain + Tinnitus Spike After Using Earphones

    Good morning All - Lifetime sufferer of tinnitus here, seemed to have habituated to it quite well. Up until about a month ago when I had an exposure to a fire truck siren inside closed garage door. Severely spiked my right ear - To the point it was roaring over everything. Along with...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Ya. I experienced a bunch already. Definitely nervousness and elevated heart rate for sure. Resting heart rate used to be 55-60. Now. Haven't seen it under 75 lol. Hoping that subsides upon completion of meds. I probably wouldn't take it again either. Unless with confirmed hearing loss. As...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    What side effects did you deal with? To be honest, I think it may have helped with SSHL, as during the first week, my hearing truly was muffled. But who knows.

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    What is a standard dose? Definitely ridiculous. Almost drove me into the deep end. Hard to trust any doctor during these times. Especially when you cant even see then in person (COVID-19). Am really hoping you're right about then sensitivity... Also hoping it stops roaring over everything and...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Way worse than when this all began. On week 3 now. Doctor said that I needed to continue the taper. I am in the worst condition of my life. Worst tinnitus of my life. I highly regret starting the Meds. My spikes were definitely not this elevated before. It's all I hear all day long now...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Had an exposure to a Fire Truck Siren - Inside closed garage doors. Was prescribed Prednisone - 28 Days Tapering Dose - 7 Days - 60 mg 7 Days - 40 mg 7 Day - 20 mg 7 Day - 10 mg.

    Does Your Tinnitus React to Some Electronics?

    Are these frequencies enough to cause further damage / spikes ?

    Loud Exposure to "Firetruck Siren" — Tinnitus Now Worse Than Ever

    I didn't find out about Tinnitus Talk till a couple days ago. Someone recommended the exact same thing actually. I did get a quick referral to a ENT - and a DOSE of Prednisone on Day 9 - Just gotta hope for the best. Thanks your your response.

    Loud Exposure to "Firetruck Siren" — Tinnitus Now Worse Than Ever

    First time poster. I have suffered from tinnitus most of my life - knew it was there, but just like a lot of the other members, I began to just accept it and live my every day life with it. Just this last Saturday - April 18th 2020 - while doing some drill on the fire apparatus floor. One of...
