    Can a Single Dog Bark Near Ear Cause Hearing Damage or Make Tinnitus Worse?

    So last night my two dogs were sitting on either side of me and out of nowhere my older dog looked over across my lap at the younger dog and unleashed an extremely loud, high pitched bark. Just one, like a warning. She is a 25 pound mini Australian Shepherd. Question here is, can a single dog...

    Faint Ringing in Head — Tinnitus from COVID-19 Vaccine?

    So I previously made a post that I first started experiencing tinnitus the night I got my first Pfizer shot on 2/26. It seems to have gotten better on my left side but not right side. ENT hearing test showed no hearing loss, and a 13 day prednisone treatment did nothing (just finished...

    Theory: ETD the Root Cause of Somatic Tinnitus

    I've experienced tinnitus since the night I got the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. I notice that when I yawn or otherwise flex my jaw really hard, all the pressure build up seems to strain my tinnitus so it exacerbates while I am yawning/flexing my jaw then goes back to how it was when I release. Is...

    My Tinnitus Started 2 Hours After the COVID-19 Vaccination — Should I Try TRT?

    @Amy42, how's it going? Any improvement in the past month? I've had ringing since first dose on 2/26. Left ear went away in a week but right ear still there. My ENT noted I have a deviated septum to the right side, making that side of my nasal passage more constrained but unlikely that matters...

    Faint Ringing in Head — Tinnitus from COVID-19 Vaccine?

    Currently on day 2 of a 13 day Prednisone course with 60 mg for 7 days, and then tapering. Still trying to understand why the ringing completely went away from my left ear after about a week but has not gone down in the right ear when it all started the night of the vaccine. I feel like it's...

    Tinnitus from Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine — Recovery Story

    @theoakapple, how is your progress? I developed the ringing in my head same night as I got Pfizer 1st dose (2/26). I am now on day 2 of a 13 day Prednisone treatment starting at 60 mg for 7 days and tapering from there. 100% this was the vaccine, don't care what any doubters may try to say. I...

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

    Yeah I am hesitant. He said he thinks in my situation the tinnitus will go away on its own. I don't lose sleep over it or anything, it's usually pretty quiet (though flares up after a hot shower or hot tub for some reason for a bit after I get out) so maybe I should just let it play out. My only...

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

    I just met with an ENT in my area who seemed very intelligent, many accolades in the ENT field which is why I went. Anyway, in response to my tinnitus that started from the 1st dose of the Pfizer vaccine, he said the only real thing to do is try Prednisone which may or may not work. I think he...

    Faint Ringing in Head — Tinnitus from COVID-19 Vaccine?

    Slight update: ringing appears to *knock on wood* have disappeared from left ear. It remains in right ear. After some research I am wondering if the Eustachian tube is blocked in my right ear. When I swallow both ears click like they should, but when I hold my nose shut and blow out, only my...

    Faint Ringing in Head — Tinnitus from COVID-19 Vaccine?

    I received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday. Saturday evening I think I was lying in bed (forget exactly when I noticed this) in silence and noticed an incredibly faint ringing coming from like the top of inside of my head. Not one ear or the other, just up top inside my head. Not...
