    Intratympanic Steroid Injection Increasing Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hi @Rube I'm not sure catastrophasizing is a word or not but anyways I get your point. Let me help you understand something. I am not new to tinnitus. I have suffered this for almost 10 years. Yes, 10 years. I know what it means to live with it. I know the kind of anxiety it creates. I know the...

    Intratympanic Steroid Injection Increasing Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Other ENTs? I think we all have a similar if not the same kind of experience with respect to ENTs. Infact, I think all ENTs are cut from the same cloth. The moment you mention your problem is Tinnitus, they mark you down on a "get rid of him/her ASAP" list. I did visit another ENT who told me...

    Intratympanic Steroid Injection Increasing Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hi Karen, Thanks for the kind words. I don't know the source of my PT. It used to be very mild. Infact if I concentrated I could clearly hear my heart beat and feel the pulse in my ear physically (if I inserted my finger in the ear). Now the PT is more tone-sounding. Also, I don't know the when...

    Relationship Between Cough and Tinnitus

    Has anyone ever experienced any relationship between cough and tinnitus? I find it odd that no one mentions it on the internet, however, in my experience, tinnitus has a very strong relationship with cough. On "very clear throat" days, I hardly hear it. "Throat congestion" days it's more...

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

    Thanks Markku. I am trying to staying strong. Just that it's too loud and annoying. It was bearable at the lesser volume. But now it's just unbearable. And i feel a little pain in the ear because of the volume. That maybe the temporary after effect of the injection and I am sincerely hoping...

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

    Hi, I have Tinnitus since 2005 in one ear. The other ear is perfect in hearing. Over the years I got used to it and it hasn't been a problem. It was mild and audible in quiet places. In public places, I could hear it if I concentrated on it. But last week, all of a sudden it increased. There...
