A month after the incident, the tinnitus is thankfully largely gone, although still often detectable. The cause was apparently inner ear barotrauma of some kind. A second audiogram showed normal hearing and the original doctor said that I'm good to dive, but I need to exercise caution with equalizing. That is advice I am sure to obey.

What was your cortisone prescription? Was it Ear drops?
