I've done a course of three intratympanic steroid shots a bit over 3 months after onset. They did not worsen my symptoms but I'm not sure if they helped much. The procedure itself is quite uncomfortable, but I'm happy I tried it.
I might have had a bit of reactivity at first, right after onset, but that subsided before I got the shots. My main problems are hyperacusis and pain, and I also have constant high pitched tinnitus.
@CRGC I’m sorry you’re dealing with H and pain. My T started as one electric hiss in R ear, now multi tone in both ears w/ electric hiss and things change based on surrounding sounds. I feel like I’ve been doing the right things but seeing no improvement.
@CRGC I know, it’s just scary when you’re taking precautions and doing things to help but it’s not getting better, just worse. When did the H start for you?
Mine started at the same time as the rest of my symptoms, so 6 months ago. Overall I’m a bit better than in the summer when it was at its worse, but still struggling as the pain fluctuates unpredictably. Being very careful about everything i can control, and trying to stay patient and optimistic.
