I had horrible tinnitus for three months. I couldn't hear anything out of my right ear. Foolishly, I went to see Inception with it. That was so disorienting.

My audiologist said I was SOL and there was nothing to do about it. A few months later, I went to see a nurse practitioner about something unrelated. The ear came up and she wrote me a Rx for a steroid just to try it and see what happens. Two weeks later, I went for a walk. I heard this rush in my ear and suddenly I could hear again and the tinnitus was gone.

It was a miracle. I still had some permanent hearing loss but it was 90% better. I could function and make music again. Second opinions FTW.
