Dexamethasone from what I hear is better than Prednisone.
Except, it hasn't worked yet.

I wish it did, man. Steroids are our first line of defense, but they're not very well understood as to why they help when they do.Except, it hasn't worked yet.
Ey @Falchion. That's way an extreme long wait. I had to wait approx. 2 months for extended audiogram. Have you also tried other Pento clinics? There's also one in Amersfoort.@Christiaan Pento clinic just informed me they have a 6-9 month waiting list.

It's a more powerful corticoid.Dexamethasone from what I hear is better than Prednisone.
I feel like this may be true for a lot of people. I too had a lot going on when my tinnitus surfaced and so far, many of those things aren't much better due to lack of care (hesitant GP and wait lists).My ENT's generally approach was: there's a metric ton of things that could be causing this thing. Yes, the hearing damage might be a factor, but there's stress, there's your body posture that seems to be a factor (it is, but inconsistently). He said, let's hit it from multiple angles and see how well we can get you.

I do hope that treating some issues may eventually reduce my tinnitus.
Mostly because some stress factors are hard to resolve(cannot afford to move out for example). I have no measured hearing damage but haven't had an extended one, so can't rule it out.If it's not actual damage to your hearing, these should be issues you could tackle yourself. Why hasn't the stress been reduced?

But anyway, my health in general is a mess and I haven't had any decent care yet so far, so nothing is really getting better.
Lol nope, Dutch too, just have a bad GP who wanted to wait because I had a lot of fluid when it started. Finally seeing an ENT next week but already had a standard hearing test which was fine.That sucks man. American? The one thing that made me really happy to move back to the Netherlands after living in the US: how f*cked you are in the States if you're not healthy or have money. Let alone lack both.
