Well I had my T assessment today...not much different from an ENT
visit....first of all I had to answer a questionairre, such as..does yur T
make your more anxious..etc etc..I answered yes to 99% of them.

Then she put something in my ear and the inside of my ear showed up on
screen, she was just checking for wax and debris etc...mine was all
normal..( though Im sure I saw a potato growing lol ) then she measured the
ear drum etc to make sure I was perceiving noise properly and that the ear
drum was vibrating properly..it was.
Then she did the hearing test..I have severe low frequency (I tink it was
low ayway) on my T side, the other side was relatively normal with a slight
loss here and there Then with the headphones on she put really loud white
noise that sent my head ringing like mad. She kept going up until It was at
a level where I couldn't hear the T anymore.

The conclusion..severe onesided hearing loss...probably..mild menieres
disease....hearing loss more than likely caused by repeated infections and
noise exposure....solution... two ear devices at $1200 each..I have to wear
two because if I wear one the T wll transfer to the other side..the second
cheaper option is a noise generator I have to listen to 4 hours a day..I
chose the latter. ..and within 6 months to 18 months, my neural transmittors
will have worked out what is real noise and what isn't (or something like
that)..she is very confident this will work, I have to go back in 12 months.
All up this cost me $238......... 99% of the stuff she told me I already
knew...Im sure I could have quite easily Downloaded a masker and put it onto
CD and listened to it for 4 hours a night at almost no cost.
h well..nothing ventured nothing gained, I will just do what I'm told and
will let you know of my progress..in the meantime....I'll stick with the
positive thinking...it's free.
