    Hi.......after my steroid injections I feel the noises in my ear have increased. Thankyou for talking about this as I've got to get some tips. I go back to the ENT on Wed to see what he can do for me. I wish you all the best.

      how long ago were the injections?  they should open things up so you may get some short term noises but it should settle down...lets hope!

      Hi.....I had it done on Jan 31, but have been having a hard time with noises and feels like my head is vibrating. I go back to the ENT tomorrow to see what he says.

    Hi Anna-lise this might sound daft but I tend to distract myself so much that I usually forget about my tinnitus and once I forget I can’t hear it (and then I remember and of course I can hear it). Of course is harder when in a silent room, but even then, after a while i stop paying attention to it and stop hearing it. I do have amytriptalin at night for my migraines and that usually gets me pretty tired, and betahistine 3x a day.
