Is It Safe To Take Prednisone For Ringing In Ears?

Hi, I just recently had a very severe sinus infection for many months. It is finally clear, but in the meantime, I having ringing in my right ear and yesterday was told after a hearing test that I have some asymmetrical hearing loss. The hearing loss is not as serious as the ringing is. I was prescribed a 14 day dosage of Prednisone and to be followed up with an MRI next week. My question is....is there a chance the prednisone with help with the ringing in my ear?

Hi,

There are many options to treat ringing or tinnitus but you might have autoimmunity, so Prednisone is helpful [along with steam taking is very helpful] obviously follow physician as your preliminary tests are not mention in history. Vitamins [few days multivit tabs], antioxidants [amla, aloe vera, basil], are also helpful in generalized sense]. Few times, stress is cause or for psychological stress related with it, you can use breathing exercise [online ombw workshop] is a good option. MRI results will be useful in long term prognosis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
