Yesterday I went to my ENT, and he noticed I have an ear infection in the ear that has gone deaf. I have been having intratympanic steroid injections, so the pain I had I put down to just a side effect of the injections. However it seems I have an infection and I am on systemic steroid therapy, and have also been on a 10 day course of antibiotics. So I was prescribed some larger-dose antibiotics as a remedy. I took my first tablet at lunch time, and within the hour I had a train bell ringing very loudly at 180 bpm. Until this episode, I had been coping pretty well with the tinnitus, but all of a sudden my hyerpacusis red-lined and I found the rest of the afternoon more challenging than previous days. As bed time approached, my anxiety levels increased – I need to get my sleep. So I hatched up a process, and slept like a baby…
