Do you know if there is a risk in taking a second oral dosage for the second time since a month?Injections of steroids only work until 48 hours after trauma, so the sooner the better.

Can't you have a limiter for your IEM ?Thanks. It's just gotten blurry, I have no idea when sound is "dangerous". But the fact that I had my -in ear monitoring- peak twice to around 110 dB can't be too good for these fella's.. I do feel a little bit of pain near that side of my face, but might be of the stress and coming from neck. And I -think- I hear my T a bit louder. Which might also be because of the stress. Anyway, just gonna take it so I can't regret it..
Well I am looking into that now. I am a camera operator and it's hooked up to a different camera all the time. But I've heard there are things that you plug between the camera & headset/ In ears that limit the sound. Never seen it though.Can't you have a limiter for your IEM ?

These things should be mandatory, but frankly, our ears are less important than their profits I guess.
Thanks for lettering me know @VRZ78 as I didn't know that. It seems the specialists who administered the steroids didn't know that either.Injections of steroids only work until 48 hours after trauma, so the sooner the better.
Yeah, I am actually doing "fairly okay" with the T itself.@JurgenG
I have previously advised you that's it's not a good idea to stay on Prednisone because of raised sugar levels. It is better to talk with your GP and take AD if you're stressed or try St John's Wort. Tinnitus will fluctuate but you will find it more difficult to habituate if you reach for the meds everytime is spikes. I know it isn't easy but you have to try and tough it out. We have all been through it. Prednisone isn't the answer believe me. Use sound enrichment and if things get too rough at night, there's nothing wrong in having a small shot of Brandy, wine or a glass of larger for medicinal purposes. Evenings only.
Things will get easier in time.

Tinnitus will fluctuate a lot in the early weeks and months of onset but this usually settles down. As long as you keep away from loud noise and keep your headset at low volume and try to take breaks, I don't think you'll have too much problems.Yeah, I am actually doing "fairly okay" with the T itself.
It's just all the new loud exposures I can't seem to avoid that really make me sad..
So scared that it will get worse or has gone worse..

Talk to you doctor about any anxiety you might be feeling
Best of luck

If you happen to be around loud sounds then use noise reducing earplugs but try not to use them too often. If surrounding sounds become too loud for your ears, you might have some hyperacusis. It should heal in time.the "Confetti Cannon's") I keep getting angry at myself why I didn't avoid that or was more prepared for it.. Never expected it to be so loud when I saw these things..
Yeah, that's my rule as well. I use them if I forsee a prolonged exposure to sound. I barely expected these things.. I even moved back from the popping of a champagne bottle.. Other people (closer to the confetti things) also said it felt loud.. Maybe I have to be even -more- careful.If you happen to be around loud sounds then use noise reducing earplugs but try not to use them too often.

Never had fungal infection, but doesn't that sound like something that would need drops?Hi, everyone. I was wondering if anyone has any luck with Medrol almost 2 months after onset of tinnitus. I had severe inflammation due to a fungal ear infection impacting my ear drum (hate Q-tips!). It's been healed since a couple of weeks; overall ear looks fine. ENT has prescribed a 4mg Medrol Dosepak for 6 days for any residual inflammation that may be causing the tinnitus and occasional ear pain on hearing loud noises. Does anyone have any experiences to share?
I was a little confused considering the fact i have a high level of high frequency hearing loss after this test but because it wasn't sudden (completely muffled, cant hear out of the ear - what the doc said) that it wasn't worth it.
Shoot. I have been on methylprednisolone for 3 days now, I got T roughly 5-6 days ago. I just asked my ENT to prescribe me Prednisone instead and I will switch to that today. Is it too late to hit the golden window?
