    My tinnitus won’t be permanent will it?
    I keep hearing about people having tinnitus for years on end. But I’ve only had it for 6 days now in my left ear. My mother has gone to loud concerts when she was young and she doesn’t have permanent tinnitus. (She and I get it every now and then, but that’s normal.)

    I don’t know what caused this! I am *not* exposed to loud sounds. My mother is sure steroids I was taking caused this, but I’ve read they not only not cause it but sometimes are taken as treatment for tinnitus.

    Won’t this just subside eventually?

    Why is my tinnitus not getting better?
    I’m so stressed about this. I’ve had ringing/static in one ear for over 5 weeks. I’ve been on prednisone (a steroid) for one week now and the ringing has gotten worse! None of this started until I had finished 5 days’ worth of steroids for a separate problem. Yet doctors tell me that steroids can’t cause tinnitus.
    It won’t be permanent. That occurs for under 5% of people. Don’t say what you don’t know.
    I used to have jaw problems. I currently don’t. I don’t think that’s related.

    is it safe to use steroids to treat sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus? what is its side effect?

  6. Anonymous

    I am not sure about this being it is the alternative health section; however, I woulld suspect steroids are not safe. Looking online for the kind of steroid you will be using with the word side effects will show you the side effects or going to the library and asking for a book that has drugs and there side effects in it. It will tell you everything there is about the drug and how frequently the side effect happens and which are the most common ones.

    However, I did want to offer you some options for your tintinitis and hearing loss from an alternative point of view from the two greatest natural healers and herbalist I know who cured the incurables and deafness, etc

    Go here and see what Dr Christopher says about hearing loss and some of his case histories

    http://www.herballegacy.com/Deafness.html

    You will see that he used the b and b tincture (now called ear and nerve formula). This is difficult to find in organic tincture form which is how you want it, but it can be found here at a reasonable rate. Her formulas are very good and strong and all organic I hear.

    here is the b and b

    http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/StoreFrontProfiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?sfid=199353&c=0&search_text=b+and+b&submit=GO

    With the b and b, Dr Christopher also used garlic oil as directed on the deaf and hearing impaired and it has cured nearly complete deafness of course there are different kinds of deafness so not sure what he treated other than what he says in the testimonies at the link above, but it is worth a shot.

    Garlic oil can be found here or at a health food store that sells food (be sure the oil is cold pressed)

    http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/StoreFrontProfiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?sfid=199353&c=0&search_text=garlic+oil&submit=GO

    Dr Schulze recommends these formulas for tintinitis

    –Cayenne Pepper Blend; Cayenne Tincture Concentrate; Nerve Formula; Organic Super Foods; Brain Formula.

    He sells these at his website http://www.herbdoc.com at the products page or they can also be found at the marketplace above by typing the formula into the search there.

    (the nerve formula you want if buying at the marketplace is the nerve sedative not the nerve restore)

    here is more about these formulas (click on the right one)

    http://www.curezone.com/schulze/handbook/formulae.asp

    Be forwarned that they both use the hottest cayenne there is so it is up to you if you can use it..the hotter the better and if you do not take theirs do get a hot one even if a little less hot as this works better

    Give these a shot and see if they help you and give them enough time to work.

    I also believe you may be helped by going on a all raw or mostly raw food whole food vegan diet like that found at hacres.com or in Gabriel Cousens books ..this seems to cure almost anything especially combined with detoxing the elimination organs (coln/kidney/liver/skin/lungs)

    Hi, I have tinnitus and YES, unfortunately this seems like it will be a permanent issue.

    I understand the frustration of it, trust me, I was there for 2 months just pissing myself off about the whole thing. Quit taking drugs and just learn to live with it (sorry if that came across as harsh, as I am not trying to be). Learning to cope with it will teach your brain to tune out the tinnitus by focusing on everything BUT the sound itself.

    I know this all sounds easier said than done, but it CAN be done because I have done it and I can now say that I am happily living, even with my tinnitus.

    The only lifestyle change I have made is wearing high fidelity ear plugs when I go to loud environments. They really do help.

    I’m sorry if you have felt misled by information people are giving you, but the truth of the matter is is that MOST people with tinnitus have it permanently, though SOME people do have it fade away over time.

    Either way it goes, learn to cope with it and ease your mind off of it. It may even go away one day and you wont even know it!

    No, i’ve never noticed that but people have different reactions to different things, for example I have noticed that my tinnitus gets louder if I’ve been listening to loud music or if i’ve got a bad head cold that really stuffs my head up. Don’t worry about it, or if you are concerned then talk to your doctor.

    Because you are sick there is probably pressure on your ears as well as your throat which will make the tinnitus louder. Once you feel better it should subside. You really should go get it checked out to see what is causing it, there may be a simple fix to rid yourself of it, if it came on suddenly with no injury to the ears as you state.

    I don’t know. I kept having it too. Finally got my hearing checked. I had to have a bone replaced in my middle ear. I was nearly deaf in that ear and didn’t realize it. I kept having headaches too. Then I started having trouble determining where the sound was coming from. I mean I would hear something, like say a kid playing and yelling, but I had trouble determining which direction the sound was coming from. And then I started talking louder, not realizing it was because I wasn’t hearing properly. I was on the phone with my boyfriend, and he wanted to know why I was yelling. I didn’t realize I was talking that loud. No, I’ve never been to loud concerts. Sometimes fthough, it just may be a simple case of having impacted ear wax. Either way, get it checked out. After I had my surgery, I jumped when the phone rang because it seemed so loud to me. It wasn’t, I was just
    finally able to hear after years of straining.

Withdrawal symptoms of caffeine possibly including headache, irritability, an inability to concentrate, drowsiness, insomnia and pain in the stomach, upper body, and joints — may appear within 12 to 24 hours after discontinuation of caffeine intake, peak at roughly 48 hours, and usually last from one to five days, representing the time required for the number of adenosine receptors in the brain to revert to “normal” levels, uninfluenced by caffeine consumption. Analgesics, such as aspirin, can relieve the pain symptoms, as can a small dose of caffeine. Most effective is a combination of both an analgesic and a small amount of caffeine.
