Tinnitus

I've been on Lupron, Zytiga and Prednisone for five months since diagnosis six months ago. Been doing excellent, with no side effects that I know of. Last night I woke up with very high pitched tinnitus. Thank God it subsided after I got up and walked around.

I did have severe tinnitus about forty years ago resulting in sudden deafness in right ear. Tinnitus subsided until I could ignore it all these years. Still have good hearing in left ear.

I haven't heard of tinnitus as side effect. Any thoughts out there?

By the way, my PSA has steadily dropped to 0.04 and Testoserone 3.

Before PCa diagnosis, I had mild tinnitus in my left ear caused by noise-induced trauma from shooting guns before the days of ear protection. Anyway, when I was on Zytiga it got worse, primarily because my blood pressure shot up from around 110/70 to 160/90 at times. I remember as soon as I took a Z-pill, I could hear the ringing increase as the BP increased. Staying off caffeine helped somewhat.

I've had tinnitus in my left ear for 55 years due to mump measles infection when I was a kid. They called it nerve deafness. No hearing, no cure but I have excellent hearing in other ear. I'll look into the butterbur herb. Thank you

HiCorrelation and causation are two things....but as I started ADT two years ago (March 2020 (Eligard and now with Nubeqa) I started to have tinnitus within months summer of 2020. Iwas hearing non existant cicadas ...and it haven't stop since. It gets worse when experiencing other side effects like fatigue or dizziness

Good luck No17

I have had it for over 40 years. Somehow I am able to ignore it ...mostly.

In the 1980's I was working at a company that could afford to have a hearing test.

A large truck would come with husband wife technicians and seating and headphones for about 12 people at a time.

You were to push "the button" when you heard the various frequencies thru the headphones. I noticed I was still pushing "the button" long after the testing ended.

Mine sounds like someone in a 1950's science fiction movie turning the dial on a communication device in a spaceship.

Buck Rogers 1940/1950 movie chapters.........However mine sounds like a woman having an orgasm....

So this guy is sitting on a plane next to this woman who constantly sneezes and then she sighs and goes into a stupor. Guy asks the woman "if she needs help?", she replies "no but it's embarrassing that every time she sneezes she has an orgasm".

Guy says OMG is there anything that you take for it?

She says "yes, black pepper".....
