Hi All, I’m 3.5 months in with noise induced tinnitus due to a small pack of firecrackers (one of the sounds made my ear ring). I am on day 4 of 60mg prednisone. No side effects. Has anyone had success with oral prednisone this far out? I know it’s supposed to be helpful within a few days...

Has anyone taken prednisone after 1 month for noise induced tinnitus? I’m at almost 2 months and finally got 40mg prednisone for 7 days. Not sure if it’s worth a shot given that some people get a spike. My tinnitus is pretty low right now. Anyone??

My tinnitus was started by a small pack of firecrackers. Popped by my foot. Wasn’t even an m80 or anything crazy. Now about 34 days with tinnitus. It has gone down from about a 7/10 to about a 2/10. At night or when it’s really quiet it is about a 3-4/10. I shot a 9mm 2-3 years ago without...

Hi, I just had my 3rd HBOT session today. So far there has been no change. They did give me some supplements. No symptoms except some minor eye change which I was told could happen but then it reverts after a few weeks. T is the same, about a 1-3 in normal environment. At night it can go up to...

@sensualmosquito I did the same 2-3 years ago. Emptied an entire mag. of a Springfield 1911. Had ringing for 2-3 hours then it went away and never came back. This time someone threw a small pack of firecrackers and one popped by my leg and caused intant ringing. 27 days later and the ringing is...

Hi @matt09 I am about 27 days in with noise induced T(fireworks) and I just had my second session of HBOT. No change so far but I did learn some things about choosing an HBOT clinic. Perhaps it can help you: make sure the chambers are FDA approved, will need a minimum of 5-10 consecutive...

I emptied like 7 rounds for a 9mm 2-3 years ago and my ringing lasted 3 hours. Then it completely went away. My friend shot a 357 magnum and forgot one ear plug and recovered 10 days later. This time I have had tinnitus for 26 days after exposure to some fireworks(honestly I didn’t think they...

Hi Everyone, I decided to do HBOT and I will break down some events that I think have helped. July 2nd - Noise induced trauma due to small pack of fire crackers(right ear began ringing immediately) July 2nd-July 15th - Tinnitus in right ear, high pitch, about a 7 on a scale of 1-10(2 hrs. of...

I might do HBOT tomorrow for noise induced T. Tomorrow will be 24 days with T. I'm just afraid of a spike. Specially since it's at about a 2-3 and not a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Any weird side effects? Any experience from anyone that has done HBOT?? Please comment. Thanks!

Has anyone done HBOT for acoustic induced tinnitus? I am about 23 days in with tinnitus and thinking about starting a few sessions this Monday. My audiogram showed no hearing loss and I can hear pretty well. I am also developing some light occasional cracking in ears when talking? How would I...

@Thuan thanks for your input. After talking do the doctor it seems that some factors can vary depending on if it’s single person tank vs multiple people. The depth to which you are being put to (1ATA, 2ATA, 3ATA). The quality of the oxygen and entire system that delivers the oxygen. How...

@Thuan can you name some issues please since I am considering doing it. please anyone

My doctor suggested the same thing. She said to take fish oil preferably with a DHA of 1000mg. Just started about 2 days ago. Has anyone done HBOT for noise induced tinnitus? I'm at about 22 days with tinnitus. It's now on the lower side but I want it gone. Thanks!

@Bartoli yeah at this point (22 days with T) I am willing to do HBOT but I don’t want to add any side effects to my T. Right now it is on the low side (still annoying) but manageable. Per the ENT, no damage on drum and no hearing loss(normal loss in right ear). Has anyone done HBOT for T and...

@CAgirl mine was from one of those small fireworks that pop like 10 small ones. Was tossed over the fence but one flew towards my feet and made my ear ring. Now my ear and brain ring. Decreased in noise level but still annoying. Been going to a chiropractor and taking supplements. Also might do...

@DaveyJones hi first and foremost, Don’t give up and keep fighting. I’m 3 weeks into T from a firecracker. The first 2 weeks were painful. Loud eeeee and I only slept 2 hours a night for 2 weeks. Also developed sensitivity to loud noise. I was dizzy, confused, foggy, light headed, uncoordinated...

@mrbrightside614 how many HBOT sessions did you have? Was the session for multiple people or was it just you in the chamber? What caused your tinnitus? Within what period did you do the HBOT? 1 week? 1 month? What was the pressure that they used? I have had tinnitus for 22 days due to loud...

3 weeks into my T. It has calmed down from a bout a 5-7 down to a 2-3 within the last 3 days. However, I am developing sensitivity to loud high pitch type noises. Plates on plates, spoon/works hitting ceramic type plates, shopping carts at grocery store, showers and other small things. Has...

Hi @Michael Leigh, Thank you very much for your response. I am not using any kind of headphones since I have read some accidents people have had with them. I am also staying away from loud noise. Initially my T was about 5-7 and now it seems to be in the 2-3 range. I think I am healthy enough...

Hi All, On July 2nd I was exposed to a small pack of fireworks which were set off about 5 feet from me. Unfortunately, it was a pack that pops like 12 small firecrackers and one flew by my feet and popped and made my right ear ring. Initially the ringing was in my right ear for about 10 days...

I heard prednisone is ototoxic and could make tinnitus worse? Anyone?

No the ENT did not mention TRT. The ones I have seen just said to give it a few months to heal. But there is a possibility that it will be permanent. Initially it was about a 5 on a scale of 1-10. Now it’s about a 2. At night is when it’s about a 3.

@Amber did your family member recover from the tinnitus?

The ENT would not give me any prednisone. Has anyone done hyperbaric oxygen treatment within a few days/weeks of noise trauma for tinnitus?

@Vinnitus what kind of fireworks caused your initial tinnitus? After the 3 months did it fully go away or just decrease? Did you do anything to help it heal? I have had tinnitus for 18 days after being close to one of those small pack of red fireworks that pop like 12 small ones. Unfortunately...
