    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Hi @Matchbox, Thanks for the advice. My doctor also said I could stop it! The doctor prescribed 20 mg for 5 days, then said to stop. I took a hearing test after my noise exposure, approximately 4 hours after. If I understood correctly, it cannot get worse in the next weeks/months (due to this...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Hi, I have been on Prednisone for 4 days so far and I decided that I want to stop taking it now. Although I was only supposed to take one extra pill tomorrow, enough is enough... it made me even more agitated and anxious. According to the pharmacist I can just stop, since it's only been 4 days...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    I started taking the Prednisone. I have been having this spike since mid October 2020... I need to somehow break the cycle... I feel like with every doctor visit it gets worse...

    Hi Matchbox, Thank you for your reply! I am under such a massive amount of stress lately. I wonder if it even makes sense to take Prednisone. It is hard for me to tell if I have had an acoustic trauma or not, since my tinnitus is loud and seems to go from bad to worse the last few weeks...

    Because it is currently early evening here and the pharmacist said to not take Prednisone after 12pm as it intereferes with sleep. I don't know what to do...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Hi ajc, Do you mean it's a low dose and the effect would not be noticeable for the acoustic trauma or for posing a risk to contracting a COVID-19 infection? I don't normally do it... but I have done it before and have never really noticed. My high frequency tinnitus is deafening since October...

    Hi everyone, I unfortunately do not have enough time to get into the specifics, but I will add a post to the (Introduce Yourself) section shortly. I have had tinnitus (both sides) since 2007, it started suddenly and my hearing tests have all been perfect ever since. It took me 2 years of daily...
