I believe this is referred to as fleeting tinnitus, which is apparently quite common and something most people experience at some point. In my case, these episodes tend to occur more frequently after a setback, which I suspect might be due to temporary inflammation. For example, after taking...

Could it be Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD)? I experience the same clogged sensation when lying on one side, especially when my Eustachian tubes are not functioning properly, such as after an infection. When I wake up, I have to open my mouth widely and swallow to unblock them, similar to what...

Does anyone else experience a significant increase in tinnitus loudness and the number of tones when using hearing protection? Whenever I wear earmuffs, I notice dozens of tones that gradually grow louder over time. The volume keeps increasing indefinitely until it becomes unbearable, almost as...

I hesitated to take Prednisone because my symptoms were gradually subsiding. However, I decided to take it one week after the episode of deafness, which occurred three weeks after using Amoxicillin. I had three pills left from a previous prescription. I took 40 mg on the first day and 20 mg the...

In my case, the deafness lasted several hours, and the new sound persisted for several days before gradually fading. After that, I experienced many fleeting tinnitus episodes with the same sound. I suspect this might be caused either by inflammation or by a cluster of hair cells or synapses...

You're probably right. I'm just puzzled why most people have stable tinnitus, and I'm stuck with an orchestra.

Is anyone else dealing with dozens of irregular, oscillating tinnitus tones daily? After months of relatively stable tinnitus with some ups and downs, I took Amoxicillin, and now I’m experiencing an intense spike. It’s a maddening mix of chirping, sparking, ringing, whistling, static, and other...

It sounds like reactive tinnitus. Hearing beeping in response to certain noises is quite common. For example, when I experience a spike, I often hear beeping over my refrigerator, but it typically fades within a week or two. In the meantime, your sister should try to avoid any sounds that seem...

Have the fleeting tinnitus episodes worsened your existing tones or added a new one? Usually, I have so many tones that it’s impossible to keep track of them all. However, this fleeting episode brought a new high-frequency tone that feels more stable and noticeable than the others.

Has anyone experienced fleeting tinnitus along with muffled hearing that lasted for several hours? Yesterday, I had a pretty terrifying experience while out for dinner. I suddenly went completely deaf in my left ear, accompanied by a loud, intense tinnitus. I almost took 60mg of Prednisone...

I haven’t experienced voices stuck in my head, but I do get repetitive sounds and simple tunes, like a phone ringing. I’ve had an ambulance siren stuck in my head for about three months now. I’d take that any day over more disturbing sounds, like whistles and screeches, which I hear during spikes.

You’ll be fine. From what I understand, Prednisone can affect the brain’s neurotransmitters, so it might take some time for things to settle. Four weeks is a short time; improvements are usually more noticeable month by month.

I’ve been experiencing palinacousis on and off for the past four months. It tends to mimic repetitive sounds I hear daily, usually faint ones or those I notice while wearing earmuffs. For instance, I often hear distant police or fire sirens from my home, and sometimes my brain turns these into a...

In Germany, where I live, steroid injections are commonly administered, often in doses as high as 200 mg. According to doctors, there isn’t much difference in side effects between 60 mg and 200 mg, but the higher dose is generally more effective at reducing inflammation. It’s a great drug...

I developed hyperacusis along with a cacophony of reactive noises after taking a 60 mg course of Prednisolone. Thankfully, most of them subsided within 4-6 weeks. However, I experienced a setback and had to go back on Prednisolone, this time at 40 mg, but fortunately no new tones appeared.
