Many people, including myself, get tinnitus from an MRI machine. Was the MRI machine that gave you tinnitus manufactured by Philips?

Maybe Dr. Karl Koehler would be interesting, if he could explain his research in a way that is accessible to non-experts. He does interviews/podcasts.

When I watch videos on my computer/phone/TV, I turn on closed captioning so I can read what they’re saying.

For my job, I have to talk on the phone and use my laptop for virtual meetings a lot. I noticed the high-pitched noise of the speakers triggers my hyperacusis. Does anyone have any “tips” to help with this? Are there special speakers I should use? I already stopped using a phone headset, and I...

Slowly. Gradually. Over the course of a few days. When I noticed the white noise machine was causing my tinnitus, I stopped using it immediately and slept in a silent room. My tinnitus then went away after a few days. I starting using the machine again a few months later. Predictably, my...

I will need to fly sometime in the next year. Can an intratympanic steroid injection cause problems while flying on an airplane? What are other possible side effects of an intratympanic injection? BTW, does anyone know an ENT or clinic in the Minneapolis area who performs intratympanic...

Years ago, before I had severe tinnitus, I used to use a white noise machine while sleeping. After a few months of using the machine, I noticed I would have tinnitus in the morning. When I stopped using the machine, the tinnitus went away. Based on my experience, I believe white noise can...

Hey Bill. How are your symtoms these days?

Did your hip pain ever go away? Did you ever get a diagnosis on the hip pain?

Does anyone know of a study comparing prednisone to placebo? Or comparing prednisone to supplements? My ENT doctor gave me a 7-day prescription for prednisone (specifically, "methylprednisolone" aka "Medrol"). I am trying to weigh the potential benefits of prednisone against the potential...

My hearing was damaged by an MRI also. There should have been better procedures in place to prevent against hearing damage during the MRI. I plan to make a complaint to the FDA so that the clinics and MRI manufacturers will create better procedures to prevent hearing damage. See my post history.

My tinnitus was caused by an MRI, too. When I get some spare time (maybe in a few months?) I plan to make a complaint to the FDA. Will you stick around this website so I can get info from you when I make the complaint? I work in the medical device industry, so I think I know how to make a...

Is it possible to get a prednisone prescription without an audiogram showing hearing loss? I am having terrible tinnitus and ear pain, but the audiologists said they don't prescribe prednisone unless there is hearing loss.

I had noise exposure about a week ago, and had an audiogram today. I do not have hearing loss, but my tinnitus is very bad. The tinnitus is at about the same volume as driving in a car, but it is very high pitched. I've had tinnitus before, but never at this volume, and it always went away...
