Doing some research and looking at studies it seems as though 20 mg is relatively small dose. I don't really get my doctor's line of thinking. I...

So you don't feel that Prednisone made it worse, just wore off the effectiveness?

What was your dosage and how long did you take it for?

I don't know much about Prednisone so I have no idea why he chose 20 mg.

Due to some complications with COVID-19 causing slight distortions in my hearing at higher frequencies, my ENT is prescribing me 20 mg of...

Since it is an unexplained change in your tinnitus, have you seen your ENT?

If it is every couple of years and not chronic, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I recorded! I hope others do as well!
