when your body is telling you to stay out of the water.

Actually, closer to a third. If an atmosphere is 34ffw, a third would be 11.3333'.

But it would be about 0.36363636363636363636363636363636 of an atmosphere in a saltwater pool.....

I know it can happen in almost any depth. But was tinnitus your only symptom? With a ieb should come at least vertigo

Pain and swelling. No "ringing" though, more like a hiss.

So over a week out of the water and the tinnitus comes and goes. It's absent more than present and more noticeable at night in the morning and after a shower. No balance or pain. Mild high pitch hearing loss in right ear. Starting taking vitamin b. Seeing the ent again Tuesday. They want to go over my ct iacs and scope my nose. Hope I can return to diving by September.

Lipoflavonoids is a citrus bioflavonoid dietary supplement specifically designed for tinnitus.

Yes, but prednisone has some nasty side effects. While it is commonly prescribed, if you can treat it without, you would be better off. See G60's link. People have had a lot of success with lipoflavonoids in treating tinnitus. And you don't need a prescription to get it. Head over to Wal-mart or CVS. Make sure you take the max dose the first few weeks, then drop it back to minimum once the tinnitus is gone.

$24 for 100ct.

Adam, for what it's worth . . . I have tinn from early military years of hanging around big engines and no hearing protection.

As you said, mine also "It's absent more than present and more noticeable at night in the morning and after a shower. No balance or pain. Mild high pitch hearing loss in [both] ear[s]."

Mine is never absent, but its loudness grows and wanes. It is much more pronounced after diving and the loudness wears off slowly. Mine became really noticeable at 40, before I started diving, but I noticed it was aggravated by diving after a few years.

Or perhaps specifically designed to extract money from tinnitus sufferers? Unfortunately, there is no good scientific evidence whatsoever to support it.

As just about everything else that the drug industry can not corner the market on... so? No idea if it works, but the list of side effects is a **** of a lot shorter than that other stuff... although "roid rage" may be desirable.

While there may not be scientific evidence to support its usefulness, I have heard and seen many positive reports on the use of lipoflavonoids for tinnitus. For only $24 a bottle, it's a small price to pay to see if it will work.
