    Steroid Injections — Should I Do It or Not?

    So to summarize my experience, I had 4 intratympanic injections done with Dexamethasone, each about 7-10 days apart. I have to say it's one of the most unpleasant things I have ever done in my life. Especially the first injection was rough, the nurse sprayed lidocaine in my ear with compressed...

    Steroid Injections — Should I Do It or Not?

    Ok, bumping this thread one more time in case anybody else has anything more to share, otherwise I will go ahead on Wednesday and do it. Even though there is a very small chance only of it doing anything. I have noticed that while I was on Prednisone, my T went away completely, especially I...

    Steroid Injections — Should I Do It or Not?

    Yes, I agree, if it doesn't make it worse, it would probably do it. Just want to make sure those shots haven't made it worse for anybody here.

    Steroid Injections — Should I Do It or Not?

    Hi, I am 38 yo male and I developed T about 4 weeks ago in my left ear. My T seems to be coming from high freq HL in my left ear, probably caused by years of headphone usage (although my right hear has good hearing and no T). One week after onset, I went to doc, who put me on a 3 week course of...
