Aside from the case in which the little hair in our ears are
destroyed, the cause of most tinnitus cases seems to be found in the
nerve. The muscular tension in the neck affects the nerve, a pinched
nerve affects the nerve, the hindered blood circulation in the brain
affects the nerve, a traumatic emotional experience damages the
nerve... So the job of treating tinnitus should rest with the medical
practitioners who can treat our nerve...

>From what I have learned in the last two or so months since my problem

started, at present there is no way the doctors can determine the
cause of someones tinnitus. Is it the hair cells in the inner ear,
damaged by an "ear stroke" that begin to do the "wave" on their own
and end up generating random noise ? Well guess what they cannot
inspect the hair cells in your inner ear. Is it the auditory nerve
itself damaged or impacted by a lesion or tumor? MRIs MIGHT detect
that. After seeng my MRI CD, I have to wonder how long the doctor
stared at all the photos in all the directories on that CD looking for
something abnormal and how easy it would be to not see it espeacially
if it was small and not obvious. Yeah I know they are experts....

In my case, I had a sudden hearing loss that happened in an instant,
and at the same time the jet enigne noise started, so I have concluded
that since they happened at the EXACT same time, they are SOMEHOW
related. But I dont know. I read an article recently that said
researches "think" that tinnitus (in hearing loss cases) is caused
when the brain detects a zero input on a channel and "Turns UP the
volume" to try and fix that, but ends up magnifying the pre-exisitng
(weaker) background noise which ends up being heard as tinnitus. This
would not expain tinnitus in people who hear ok in the afflicted ear
though.

As far as hair cell damage, The first ENT doctor told me that the only
way to tell for sure what caused my hearing loss is to disect the
inner ear, something that is not done to live patients...and I
honestly believe that if I died tommorrow and they disected my inner
ear they still would not know what caused the hearing loss or the
tinnitus.

Both ENT surgeons told me that even if they surgically disconnected
the auditory nerve (I requested that since It is useless now anyways -
thnking that it would stop the tinnitus) they did not think it would
stop the tinnitus. They were unsure of that however, but neither
wanted to do the surgery because of that.

It is frustrating to know the medical experts have such little
knowledge in how the ear works and what is wrong when it doesnt work
normally.

I went to about 15 'experts' when I had my tinnitus. None of them was
able to tell his a.s from his elbow.

'Try everything" is the advice I would give you. And the moment you
find something that works or seems to work, stick to it regardless of
what the 'controlled' studies have to say.

I met a patient years ago and this patient lost her hearing all of a
sudden. She went through intravenous injection and at the same time
hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Her hearing recovered somewhat when I
last talked to her.

Have you tried ginko biloba yet? If not, why not give it a chance.
Do you know any good acupuncturist where you are? Give it a couple of
visits and see if it works.

I think if you could somehow have the tinnitus sound cut down, that
would be a big plus.

Are you kidding me? These bozos are yet find cure for common cold, let alone
tinnitus. I have had three Audiograms since mine strated, all normal, yet
better than normal. Never been exposed o loud noise or medications. It just
started out of nowhere. I totally agree it is in the brain and not in the
ear. Tried Ginko not helped. Also tried isoflavitones, no help either. But
I beleive the cure rests in eastern medicine rather than western one.

Visit a certified acupuncturist for a couple of visits. I can
introduce you in Vancouver.
