@danadcm69 Hello, I’ve been dealing with my symptoms from a reaction to oral steroids and the injection for almost 6 months. At first it was intense head pressure and loud tinnitus (white noise and little flickering sounds). The head pressure went away after a few weeks, but then it turned into daily, intermittent episodes of swelling in my ears. To the point where my eustachian tubes would swell shut. That lasted several months and got so bad that I took extended leave from work and had several rounds of myringotomies where they put a hole in the ear drums to relieve the air pressure. Now the swelling is mostly gone but my eustachian tubes are still not functioning properly. There is lingering inflammation in the tissue so they are squeaky and crunchy and feel like velcro. I still have much louder tinnitus than my original baseline and hyperacusis in my left ear. I’m still hoping as my eustachian tubes heal maybe my tinnitus and sensitivity to sound will get better. I don’t think the steroids damaged the inner ear, I think I had a systemic reaction that cause my auditory nerve and the auditory part of my brain to become hypersensitive. And I had swelling that caused inflammation in my ears and sinuses. I’ve had an MRI with IAC and am planning on a CT Temporal Bone and a CTV to check for structural or vascular issues. So, I continue to protect my ears and wait to see if things continue to improve. I’m going to try an antihistamine nasal spray because I think seasonal allergies are making my ears more inflamed. Hopefully it helps!
