      Tinnitus Since:
      2014
      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Infection or noise
      Can someone explain how long the acoustic reflex test takes? How many tones does the test consist of and how loud (dB) are the tones?

      Did you all complete the whole test?

      I had the test as well but after three tones I stopped it. It made my tinnitus louder in my right ear. Experts say the test can't damage hearing. But I really notice an increase. I had the test 12 days ago. I'm thinking about Prednisone or Dexamethasone.

      Wow, I'm so glad I instinctively declined that test when the ENT was preparing it for me.
