MemberHi everyone,
I've decided to post my first message here after almost a year of struggling with tinnitus in my left ear. It started at the end of March 2021 and I am not fully sure about the reason. I am sure that daily headphone usage contributed to the onset of tinnitus.
My audiograms are fine until 8 kHz, I have some ETD (confirmed with the diagnostic probe) on my left ear but it does not cause any fluid to build up in the ear, my tympanometry is normal. The only disadvantage is that I hear clicking sound every time when I swallow. I've tried ET catheterization several times, with local steroid injection, but the relief was very short, like 1-2 days max.
Just FYI - I've got my OTO-313/placebo injection yesterday. So far nothing changed. In the evening I had quite bad tinnitus and today morning it faded out - but that's my daily routine since 1 year - tinnitus is always worsened during evening and mild in the morning. I will keep you updated if anything changes here.
