Why on EARTH would you EVEN consider taking a STRONG, DANGEROUS drug like prednisone for a loud noise that didn't cause any issues?Sitting outside last night (8 hours ago) with some friends at a bar and a dude drive by and said "you guys want to hear something loud?"
He revved his engine and it basically exploded. Very loud. I got my fingers in my ears right when it started but it was probably 30 feet away. I took 1200mg of NAC and 400mg of Magnesium right when I got home an hour later and am on NAD as well.
Funny enough tinnitus seems largely unchanged. BUT I'm obviously very worried about it. Should I seek prednisone this AM? Would you guys?
Is it possible to experience an acoustic trauma and not have an increase in tinnitus?
If your tinnitus didn't spike, if you didn't experience a threshold shift in your hearing, then you're fine. No need for prednisone.
