    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    Hey! I am feeling better overall. Reactivity has improved, the muffling is gone, and the distortion is mostly absent. Tinnitus is still present, but I'm unsure if it's quieter or if I'm getting better at ignoring it because my reactivity has improved, and I don't spike as easily. I'm waiting to...

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    I desperately need support. Someone, please tell me that it will get better. After experiencing a few better days since starting oral steroids, the last five days have been progressively worse. I now have tinnitus in the middle of my head and left ear, although it's quieter than in my right...

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    Update: Yesterday, I couldn't sleep. The buzzing in my right ear is getting louder and more intrusive, and sounds feel distorted. It also sometimes feels like it's coming from the middle of my brain. But the worst thing is that now I can hear buzzing in my left ear, although it's quieter than...

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    One week after starting Prednisone, 25 days since the onset, and 36 days since the incident: I’m not sure how I’m doing. I had a good 5 days, but then it worsened a bit. I used to wake up to quiet, but today I woke up to a tone instead of a buzz, and it was in the center of my brain instead of...

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    Update: One day after a Dexamethasone steroid injection and oral Prednisone, I had a good day. The volume was noticeably lower than before, and reactivity was better. This was the best "good" day to date 20 days since the onset of my tinnitus. I hope this is a permanent improvement and a new...

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    I had my second hearing test today. The mild 30 dB hearing loss at 4 kHz and 8 kHz remains unchanged. This is after two weeks and three steroid injections from the first hearing test (and one month from the acoustic trauma). The doctor Injected a fourth Injection and put me on oral prednisone...

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    Thanks. I am almost three weeks in and still haven't been able to cope. I am reading most of the success stories, and they have helped me tremendously, but not having any control over the healing process is just tormenting; I don't have any idea when this will improve.
