Hey @ErikaS, just wondering what is your high frequency loss like? I have mild loss in the 6 kHz - 8 kHz range and I'm wondering if this means my tinnitus will never go away. Did you have a middle ear infection that caused your tinnitus? BTW, glad your dad saw an improvement over months /...

Hello, glad to hear you're better. Do you have hearing loss?

Turmeric makes tinnitus worse? How so?

Don't most people have high frequency tinnitus because high frequency hearing loss is more common? And they say most people do habituate. Wouldn't that mean this answer is "yes"?

Yeah, it's really frustrating that nothing can be done and there is no confirmation. I sometimes wonder if wearing earbuds during the days after my vertigo could have caused things to be worse. I still have off and on ear fullness, almost like the feeling that I have to pop my ears. It has...

I used headphones and earbuds in December, yes. But I wasn't listening to music, just podcast on YouTube right before bed. My iPhone recorded the dB's and they didn't seem to be loud, mostly just in the normal range 60-80 dB for an hour and a half for a couple nights (I still have all the audio...

Hi Michael, Thanks for your response. I had the other symptoms originally in early-mid December 2022 and the tinnitus started December 30th. The only symptoms that I currently have are tinnitus, off and on again ear fullness, and clicking sounds when I swallow or yawn (which may not be related...

I'm having a hard time determining if my tinnitus is reactive. Sometimes I think yes, sometimes I think no. But to be safe I usually don't try to cover it at all. I only go up three clicks from silent on my iPhone, two clicks if it is not that bad in the moment. I feel like I have 4 bad days, 1...

I play crickets pretty much all day/night long unless I'm having a really good day. I use my iPhone mainly (Spotify) and I usually only turn the iPhone volume up three clicks from silent, so it shouldn't be loud at all. I haven't measured it though, maybe I will. I would love to get to a point...

Do you think the steroids made a difference in the end? I'm upset that I wasn't diagnosed properly and I didn't get steroids until way after my vertigo. I feel like I'm a lost cause at this point.

But I will go insane if I just listen to my tinnitus all day long... If I keep the volume low, how could it make things worse?

I have high frequency loss at 6 kHz and 8 kHz but I didn't get an extended hearing test. I'm guessing it isn't good news. I didn't get steroids right away because my doctor is an idiot and he didn't believe me. Now I'm stuck with this I guess. I was past a couple weeks before I got any steroids.

@AnthonyMcDonald, why?

Hi @Darrenb111, I was diagnosed with labyrinthitis recently and I'm in crisis mode. I am going to start using Sound Therapy and CBT. Did you ever get physical therapy for the balance issues and what medications did you take that you think helped your recovery from onset? Thank you very much.

Yeah, all these websites say that people get a full recovery from labyrinthitis but I'm learning that this is likely not true because every ENT says "learn to live with it". The information is conflicting and it is annoying. Sounds kind of like labyrinthitis with those symptoms...

Hey, any update?

Hey, any updates on Tinnitus?

I'm 5 weeks into high-frequency tinnitus right now. I think my tinnitus has improved a bit. There are times when I feel like I almost can't hear it (during the day). I'm going to an ENT today, not expecting much help though. I think my tinnitus is from an infection or ETD, or maybe I always had...

Not sure this is true about 3 days tops. I think I've seen a study that said 4-6 weeks, or something around that, was considered the max. But I think it was a study on tinnitus from viral infections and not noise exposure. But I'm sure more data would be needed.

Did your tinnitus not get any better? I see it says your cause is plugged nasal Eustachian tube.

My tinnitus started around December 30. I just finished my Methylprednisolone pack. I didn't really notice any changes. Hard to tell because my tinnitus changes so much. I believe my tinnitus is from a viral infection or something like ETD, not from noise trauma.

I don't see any evidence that Methylprednisolone, etc., is ototoxic. For people claiming that it is, where did you get that information?

Are things any better, @Aline Mohymont?

I have a very high-pitched tinnitus. I have to use cricket sounds to mask it. I'm only 17 days into this and it has ruined my life.

Is there any actual science that proves stress or anxiety can be the primary cause of tinnitus?

@mfgrn, any updates?

@Lins12, updates?

Wearing earplugs at night can give you tinnitus?

When does the ringing start when you have Labyrinthitis? I had one instance of vertigo on December 13th and then sometime in late December I noticed that I had tinnitus. Still not sure what I have so I have several appointments to test my hearing and balance, etc.

Can you have Meniere's disease if you had only one short vertigo attack (the spinning didn't last very long, probably less than 10 minutes) and then two weeks later got tinnitus? With no noticeable hearing loss. Could that be a coincidence?
