I think that is what I was given to make tinnitus go down. A steroid? Supposedly it can help with acute noise induced tinnitus if given within furst few days. Did nothing för me.

Hi ,

Mine is 3 months old but I've been given for a chest infection. However it does seem to be calming my T down.

I took prednisolone for more than 6 month, before I could start on immune suppresive medicin. I have an autoimmune disease. Unfortunately this medicine do also increase tinnitus. 😢
