    After 4 Months My Tinnitus Is Virtually Gone

    @Andy70 Hi Andrea, I took prednisilone, 40mg for 7 days. It was prescribed for 10 days but I also had dizziness & bad anxiety at the time so me & my dr decided to stop them a few days early. My T went from a 6 or 7/10 down to a 1/10, back up to a 2-3/10 after ceasing the steroids & then...

    Associated Symptoms

    @Richard Wallace Did you have hearing loss from the beginning or is this developing? Do you mind me asking how your t started? I'm concerned I have Ménière's but at the moment I do not have hearing loss.

    Really in Need of Support

    Hi, your story sounds very similar to mine! My T started as a high pitch whistle, then after 5-6 days subsided to a hiss which I could cope with. After 4 weeks the whistle came back for no known reason (no noise exposure) and went again after 2 days. Then a week later the whistle returned but...

    Maybe Not Due to Acoustic Trauma?

    Yours sounds similar to mine, except I've had no noise trauma. The whole thing started 7 weeks ago after I got water in my ear. It started with a high pitch ringing which then faded out & I was left with the hissing. I had otitis externa but they didn't believe I had a middle ear infection as no...
