Thanks everyone for your comments.
It has now been about a month since I finished my 15 day course of Prednisone. My tinnitus has reduced significantly to the point where I usually only notice it in a quiet room, and even then I don't always notice it.
It is hard to say whether the Prednisone helped. The tinnitus seemed to get better around the time I started taking the Prednisone, however also was improving a few days prior to starting the Prednisone. I had no noticeable side effects.
I have also been taking lots of supplements daily which may have helped. These include Acetyl L Carnitine, N Acetyl Cysteine, Ginkgo baloba, and fish oil.
I am so relieved that my tinnitus has reduced to a level I can live with, and I am hoping it will reduce even further. I had a follow up appointment with my ENT who stated I can expect it to continue to reduce further over the next few months.
For those of you reading this who are suffering from loud tinnitus caused by accoustic trauma which has lasted a few weeks, just know there is still hope that it will reduce.
I'll update the thread at a later date with any positive or negative changes.
