Dear Dr.Stephen Nagler，

Is Intratympanic steriod Injection(such as Cortisone) helpful in treating chronic tinnitus?Mine was caused by noise exposure more than 20 years ago.Recently some clinic suggest to try this and indicated a 50% chance of improving.Look forward to your advice.Thanks a lot. Best Regards/Jacob
