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

How many days in a row now have you been taking Saffron.

What steps have you gone through in seeing doctors. I'm first heading to an EMT. After that, have you been referred to other types of doctors (e.g., audiologist)?

The video is about 10 months old. There's a LOT going in pharmaceutical development for T. I've started a spreadsheet to track activities. Here's just one example: https://decibeltx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Decibel-Launch-PR-FINAL-for-101515.pdf

Wow, 21 pages of comments. I tried reading most of them and my conclusion is that it works for a few but not most. I'm day 17 of getting T from a loud concert and I have excellent health insurance so cost isn't an issue. Should I do HBOT? If I did it, it'd be at the Mayo Clinic. Here's their...

Thanks. Great information to have.

Thanks for the youtube links :)

Starting at the 25 minute mark (skip the beginning) there's a nice overview of the pharmaceutical pipeline.

With us both being new to this, your a Brother from a different Mother. Thanks for responding to my posts.

Any idea what percentage of ears "heal" over the 6 month time period. I'm only 18 days into this right now. From what I've read 3-5 days is the typical time for an ear to hear.

Thanks again for your input -- love it that strangers are out there willing to help -- it might sound silly but I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply. What do you mean by "audiology for maskers"?

Thanks for your advice. I'm actually going to an ENT tomorrow. Why the 6 month wait between a first and second visit. Is that just to save the expense of seeing a doctor? Again, I'm very fortunate to have great insurance coverage. I pay the first $750 each year but anything on top of that is...

Do you still have the links for any of your favorite YouTube audios? I don't think I'd be able to fall asleep to someone speaking, I'd be focusing on listening to him, but the meditation apps, isochronic tones, chanting, etc. sounds like something I'd like to try.

For those of you who have gone through this, what advice do you have for me when I'm talking with the doctor? I fortunately have very good health coverage, so cost isn't an issue. Should I insist on some sort of procedure (e.g., MRIs, ???), some sort of tests? What do you know now that you...

Thanks for sharing. What model of Bluetooth speaker did you purchase? And do you recommend that one for others?

Thanks :)

Off topic, but I see a lot of threads where people are talking about T and M and H or something like that. What do those letters stand for?

Yes, I did plug my ears. I really had to concentrate to hear the tinnitus (in my case, a very high pitch). I was quite excited by it all. The tinnitus did return, but now I feel I have a good option for sleeping.

Here's the thread with your post: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/just-keeps-getting-worse-and-worse.12178/#post-149585

I read one of your posts just now, basically realistic words of encouragement that over time Tinnitus will get better. Thanks for posting that, I really needed a lift in spirits and your comment did that for me.

Just thought I share this. I started experiencing Tinnitus in my left ear after a loud concert on 12/31/17 (so just 16 days ago). Mostly I'm having trouble sleeping, the high pitch in my right ear keeps me awake. With sleeping pills I can fall asleep but I tend to wake up after about 3 hours and...
