I use primarily AudioMate and as backup Brison. The AudioMate seems to work pretty well, and if I insert it deep inside the ear canal, I think it does protect as close as it says (27 dB). This is by comparing the noise that I hear, between foam earplug and AudioMate. Note that since there are...

@ZackColorado, one thing that you can try also is try to play music before you are going to bed, at the lowest volume that you can distinguish that music from your tinnitus. Try to keep doing this every day. I did this at the onset of my tinnitus, and it helps my brain and ear for recovery, a...

Yes. My tinnitus in the the past 2 - 3 weeks has been getting better (maybe about 40% better) compared to at the onset). First, I live in a very quiet single family house, on a quiet street, with thick double pane glass that blocks almost all noise from the outside. Previously at the onset, it...

I got similar issue, where I got my innitus after I went to a shooting range in early October. I only wore a 25 dB earmuff (which in hindsight was not 100% effective for me), and someone shot a short barrel AR pistol with muzzle brake close to my right side. It was pretty bad for a couple weeks...

How long were you on Prednisone? Based on my experience, I don't think your spike is caused by tapering off Prednisone, assuming it is tapered off correctly. Most likely something else, such as exposure to some noise that maybe too loud for your condition at the time. For example for me...

@Exit, my ENT gave me Methylprednisolone (not Prednisone). Methylprednisolone is about 1.2X stronger than Prednisone, while Dexamethasone is about 6x stronger than Prednisone. I suppose for typical usage, stronger oral steroid just means that lesser dosage is needed, but I'm not a doctor. The...

I have had a similar issue recently, and what I suggest you to do is: 1. Book an appointment with an ENT doctor as soon as possible (like tomorrow). Even if they are in another city. At the ENT they will first usually do audiometric exam (to test your hearing) which is done by an audiologist...

Based on my own recent experience, I would take a high dose N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) (1500 mg or so) as soon as possible, along with Chelated Magnesium and Zinc. There has been a lot of research (google for nac accoustic trauma) where NAC can help after acoustic trauma as long as it is taken as...

Hi All, My name is Edwyn, I'm about 40 years old, and this is the story how I got tinnitus on my right ear. I apologize in advance, if the story is too long, but I try to document everything about my mistake, and what I have done. I went to an outdoor shooting range (with roof and booth) on...
