Title: 6 months after Cyberknife
Post by: Jennifer1969 on March 05, 2025, 09:23:41 pm

Hi All,

I had CyberKnife six months ago and things were going very well until about a week and a half ago. I lost a lot of my hearing and started on DEXAMethasone and then the tinnitus started. Most of my hearing has returned and I am now off of the DEXAMethasone but the tinnitus is just louder and louder and relentless. I read that it can take a few days for the steroids to leave your body to bring your nerves back, but I’m really afraid this is going to be forever. It sounds like there’s a wind storm in my ear and it will not stop. There is absolutely no relief.  I do have my MRI on Friday so I’m hoping to find out more. I’m just wondering if anybody else has experienced this and what was their outcome?

Hi Jennifer1969,

What did you find out from your MRI?  And what is the latest with your tinnitus?
