It makes sense on the surface but unfortunately from my experience the
cause of T is very difficult to pinpoint, otherwise your last ENT
doctor would have done it for you.  When I first had this maddening
illness, I posted my symptoms in this ng and described it vividly to
that many general physician, ENT and neurology doctors I visited here
in Hong Kong and China...but all to no avail.  After 1/2 year of
unneccessary suffering, I finally took the initiative to take away
hydrochloridethiazie from my blood pressure medicine regiment and it
brought on a first release!!!   I did this *on my own* after the
symptoms I had described of my T did not match any of what was
responded by the doctors both online and offline.  Without
hydrochloridethiasize, one set of problem disappeared while another set
came along...The solution to the second set came when Dr. Murray
suggested me to use another kind of direutics...So I found some release
from the second set of problem with the use of a new direutics...Then
later on with a routine check up, a Cambridge doctor prescribed me
gingko biloba, which transformed my brain ring into ringing on the ear
drum.  That was encouraging.   Finally I ran into an acupuncturist in
Vancouver and she finally, after giving me two treatments, put an nail
into the coffin of the 'somatic discomfort' that was constantly
bothering me.. It made me realize that the cause of my T *might* have
been from my nerve.  Later on while I was doing volunteer work teaching
English in a remote village in China, a herb doctor prescribed me some
herbs and the herbs seemed to have brought more release. Now after
months of treatment, I am doing OK.  By that I mean I can deliberately
listen to the sound of my T, it either is not there or is there but
very low in volume.  This is what I call 'cure'.

So what was the cause of my T?  I think the cause was multiple!  It
might have started with cause A, and then cause A created cause B...and
then B led to C...but all in all amounted to T.  Then my treatment
might have taken care of B, then the recovery of B might have led to
the recovery of A..and then C,,,etc.

I think you are wasting your time going back to the same doctor you
visited 2.5 years ago.  What are you trying to do?  Paying her the
money and helping her learn something about T?  Does this ENT doctor
you visited years ago participate into the ngs discussion here?  If
not, that means she has not been doing continuing education since she
graduated from medical school.  You should go to a doctor who has had a
lot of experience in treating T patients!

By the way, I did not remove any of my posts.  Someone else must have
done it cuz he did not like it.
