Hi Everyone..
Thank god for a forum like this. Venting actually helps me a lot but i font think my wife can take it anymore
Anyways... my story is I has some minor dental work about 4 weeks ago followed by my first root canal. About 3 days after the root canal my T started. Very high pitch whine is the best way i can describe it. It was very faint for the first couple days, so i really didn't notice it. As the days went on, it got worse. I went to see my ENT a few days ago and she gave me the standard "there is no cure" speech and also did a hearing test. The test came out perfect, so i don't have any hearing loss. She prescribed prednisone for 6 days and i'm on my second day now with no change in my T. I guess the reason I mentioned the dental work is I truly believe this may have contributed to the Tinnitus. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
Anyways, I'm using a fan at bedtime and so far it hasn't really effected my sleep but i feel at some point it might. During the day at work i find myself obsessing about it. When i'm out with friends or doing an activity, I will most of the time forget all about it until I go somewhere quiet.
So, i'm 3 weeks in.. should i be worried this isn't a temporary thing? I suppose i could live with this but will fight like hell not to have to. Ive already looked into TRT therapy.
Thanks in advance to all the feedback!
