Prednisone and Dexamethasone Injection Makes Tinnitus Worse?

Good evening,
I’ve had some mild tinnitus in my left ear for several years but it didn’t significantly impact my quality of life. Last month I incurred some loss of hearing at a loud sporting event with noise makers. It wasn’t terrible but I noticed I wasn’t hearing as well in my left ear. I made an appointment with an ENT, and they had me take 60 mg Prednisone for 7 days and then taper off for another 4 days. I also had an inner ear injection of dexamethasone. Over the course of taking the steroids and the shot, my hearing has not improved and in fact the tinnitus in my left ear is now completely unbearable. It is extremely loud to the point where it almost feels painful. It is all I can hear. I’m on day two of being off the oral Prednisone. I refused any additional injections. I am paralyzed with fear that this could now be permanent. Does anyone else have any experience with Prednisone and the Dexamethasone making things so significantly worse? Will it improve? Thank you for your insight.
