I've heard from my doctor and from other patients about cases where some steroids helped or even resolved tinnitus completely. I'm currently investigating this option.
In my case, years before my tinnitus onset, I started having a lot of discomfort on my right ear (my tinnitus is mostly one-sided, just like my floaters).
Firstly, my right ear started getting clogged with wax really frequently. Then, I developed extreme sensitivity to cold. So, cold air would give me acute ear pain.
Immediately before and after my tinnitus onset I had mild vertigo quite frequently.
Ever since I developed tinnitus, my ear feels full and clogged.
The Human Leukocyte Antigen complex is a protein complex that immune cells use to determine self from non-self cells. There are many many many possible alleles, some of which are thought to be defective and contribute to auto-immune disorders. The most notorious (for medical students studying for standardized tests) is HLA-B27.
