Thanks for sharing :)

What's your experience on getting an injection of prednisone or dexamethasone into the middle ear? Background: - I've been taking prednisone orally for since January 19th (9 days now) and I'm finishing tapering my dosage. The prednisone works in reducing my T, but as the dosage goes down the...

Being new to this, I find that my tinnitus on some days drops considerably, but then comes back on other days. I'm not sure if it's the medications I'm taking (I'm currently tapering down on my Prednisone dosage), or if this up and down is part of living with tinnitus. Perhaps a combination of...

Thanks for the links :)

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll call mine a 7. I hear it basically all the time (unless I'm really focused in on work or maybe watching a great movie), but can mask it with sound machines.

What's a "BAR" test?

I just listened to it for 5 minutes. It seems to work quite well for me while I'm listening to but the T came back when I stopped.

Yes, it's a rather old video but the point is that there's a lot of money being pushed into this research and there are very promising results in laboratory tests. The tools they have today to create a viable treatment simply didn't exist 5 years ago. In addition to the pure capital investors...

I've seen many posts where people describe the "level" of their T. Things like "8 at 4000 Hz". How is that measured, did you have a test done?

Guess I skipped this intro part and went right to posting in the other threads: -- 56 years old -- Got T on 12/31/16, a New Year's Eve concert. -- Only in left ear, very high pitch -- T got much worse around 1/14/17 (gradual but very real increase over several days) -- I always hear it during...

Thanks for the info. I just got done reading through the threads on Prednisone, so yes, I'll try to get that added to my treatment. Without your post I wouldn't have known to have asked for it. Thanks again.

Thanks. I'll go get the supplements today, and no, I haven't been taking them.

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Test is one suggested test/treatment for tinnitus. I'm interested in learning about your experience in this form of test to help me determine if I should get one, but couldn't find much detail in this form (thus this new thread). My background: -- Got T on...

Looking for advice from those of you that have been on this journey longer than I have. I'm going to see my ENT tomorrow. This is my first visit since I acquired Tinnitus (I'm on day 17), actually my first visit ever to an ENT: -- Got T by going to a loud concert on New Years Eve. -- Have it in...

From the NY Times -- take some time to read the readers comments as well. Looks like Saffron is used is used in a lot of dishes all the time, and it should indeed be used in hot dishes (e.g., warm milk or warm water): https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/30/dining/saffron-iran.html?_r=0
