Hi all,
my name is Steven and I'm 28 years old. I started to notice tinnitus on tuesday 12/11/2013 when I woke up.
I did attend a party on saturday with some loud music. I stayed there for 1 hour and drunk 2 beers. When I got home I noticed some ringing but I was very tired so I easily felt asleep. Sunday & monday I had no issues and did my normal stuff.
I went to see my GP on thursday, he checked my ears, saw nothing wrong and told me to wait and see for 2 weeks and get an appointment with an ENT when things didn't improve. Instead I immediality sheduled an appointment with an ENT. So on monday I saw the ENT. All test came back normal. He explained a little bit of tinnitus and gave me a prescription for steriods which I took for 10 days.
At follow-up 2 weeks later I told him there was no improvement and he suggested HBOT. He explained to me that while the medication has some scientific evidence there was no prove for HBOT but some people did benefit. So I took the shot and got 10 sessions (for 5 days, 2x a day).
At follow-up end december 2013 there was no improvement and he sheduled an MRI-scan which came back normal. He explained to me that 'they' know little about tinnitus but there's still a change that the brain 'filter-out' the sound of tinnitus with time. He gave me a prescription for clonezepam. I tried it for 1 month, but no improvent for the level of my tinnitus sound. He basically told me there were a lot of causes of tinnitus and there was really no way to tell which caused mine.
I made an appointment with my GP to tell her I want a second opinion so I took some tests at another hospital a couple months ago, but they were all fine. The audiogram had good results and was all within normal limits. They told me there was still a change for it to go away.
Now 9 months later I still go the tinnitus...
Well this is my story and would like participate on this forum because basiccaly i am on my own because people around me dont understand so i stopped talking about it.
