Hi- I haven’t been here in a few months. I had an acoustic trauma last summer but over 3-4 months the tinnitus lowered in volume. I’ve been very...

I was also habituating and healing after months and then used a hair dryer for 15 minutes and am having the worst spike now for the last 4 days. I...

Yes, I hear you Gordon. Mine is the same ultra-shrill tone. I agree, it is like it was specifically designed for torture. I am almost 8 weeks into...

And you've had it for 5 years? Man, that is tough to hear. :(

@DingDong How are you feeling now? Did the withdrawal symptoms from the Prednisone improve? I just took some Prednisone 5 weeks post Acoustic...

@Hammers has this improved for you? I have the same issue. @Capstan has your reactive tinnitus improved?

Thank you so much for the encouragement Stu. I am nearly 6 weeks in with no improvements and am having a tough time.

Yes! I have exactly this. I can’t even listen to music without it sounding tinny/metallic. Is there any chance this will improve?

@Thuan How is your electric buzz sound? I have same thing night and day (sometimes more of a hiss or a dog whistle sound-it’s horrid). No...

So sorry @DaveyJones. I’m 5 weeks in and it the hissing/reactive tinnitus got worse at 4 weeks out and hasn’t subsided. I have multiple tones too....

When did yours decrease? Mine is so loud I can hear it outside. I keep hoping the volume goes down. It’s just too intrusive and I’m constantly on...

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I had an acoustic trauma 36 days ago. I tried Prednisone on Day 5 but had an awful reaction to just 10 mg...

@GregCA I found this post of yours in this thread from 3 years ago which looks like when you were 6 months out. Do you feel the same way now about...

@glennbama Did the diuretics help you?

@laetaell How are you doing now?

@Juan. I just saw this. I have both Prednisone and a Medrol Dose Pack on hand. Can it still help 5 weeks out?

Can Prednisone still help 5 weeks out of an acoustic trauma? I tried it in the beginning (just one 10 mg pill) and the side effects were tough...

@Mark Foster did the intratympanic injection help your noise-induced tinnitus? I am 5 weeks out of an acoustic trauma and getting desperate to try...

Bump. I am 35 days out and wondering if this would still help.

I am nearly 5 weeks out from acoustic trauma. Constant loud hissing in my ear. Is HBOT recommended at this point? Has it helped anyone on this...

@HarryLDN How are you now?

I just read parts of this thread and it’s really good! I would like to re-ignite it. Was the last post really in December?

Ok interesting. I am worried since I didn’t have any positive changes in the first month. In fact, I had a spike at the 4 week mark where it got...

That’s so good. I have to ask you too if you did the course of Prednisone right after?

Really good to know. I have read your story and it gives me hope. Did you take Prednisone?

That is so good to know. I’m so worried that I will never heal because I missed the boat with Prednisone.

Hi Makrohn-can I ask you what your genetic hearing loss is? I have one copy of the GJB2 gene mutation, also called Connexin 26. I often wonder if...

@JohnFox This is exactly how mine is and it is also quite significant. I am trying to watch TV right now and the sizzling static coming out of my...

@ASilverLight I have spoken with so many people who have reached a point where it is just background noise. It takes a loooong time though. Are...

@ASilverLight Noooo! I have the best life. How is it all of a sudden just all over just like that for no fault of my own. I mean, I can always...

Really struggling today. Hissing has gotten so much louder since the spike 5 days ago. I was barely coping as it was. Why did it have to get...

I agree!! Volume is everything!!

@MidnightOilAudio No change since the spike Saturday morning. Hissing louder than ever. It didn’t really interfere with my sleep before because...

@Shera. I’m not suicidal either but did have a nervous breakdown yesterday after three nights of no sleep and a month of raging sounds in my head....

@Aaron44126 So glad you’ve habituated. Thanks for coming back with update. Do/did you only hear yours in a quiet room or do you hear it over all...

I really wish it hadn’t spiked up 4 days ago. I was adjusting a tiny bit, then it got so much louder after that girl screamed at the pool.

@PeteJ I actually like being out there because it blends with all the crazy noises in my ear. Pure silence is the worst. I don’t think 55 dB can...

@Steph1710 That’s great! Did you take prednisone either time?

@Poseidon65 Did you take prednisone right after?

I feel like my only chance was if I could’ve tolerated the Prednisone. Now it’s been a month and so is likely here to stay. :(

@Barrowww I know this is from years ago but how are you doing now? Did you ever do the steroids? How is your tinnitus? I am in the same situation.

@volsung37 Oh my goodness! I’m so glad that your tinnitus quieted down. But I’m so sorry that it came back after vacuuming. I hope it settles...

@Poseidon65 Sorry you’re losing hope after 6 months. I know there are people who see improvements around the 12-18 month mark so don’t despair...

@tbuzz89 Thanks for the encouragement. I sure hope I see some fading soon. Glad you've had some fading but, yes the bad days are tough. When you...

@Poseidon65 @tbuzz89 Looks like Poseidon is 6 months out and tbuzz89 is 4 months out. I am 1 month out with tinnitus the exact same way you...

@Ctw I read that Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is ptotoxic. Have you had any worsening of symptoms with it?

Hi @Candy - I read this post from 2017 where you describe your tinnitus. I am one month out from an acoustic trauma and I would describe mine...

@brownear Thank you for your reply. That is amazing that you have come so far. It is so hard to imagine living with this and feeling joy again (or...

@Steve2212 I know this is an old post, but how are you doing these days?
