Sometime ago i visited a fancy Hong Kong private ENT clinic. The
doctor told me that with his high-tech toys he could tell with 95%
accuracy the 'cause' of my tinnitus. So after a series of expensive
tests, he concluded that the cause of my T might have been due to the
inner ear getting too old and too tired. The solution was aprazolam
pills and duxaril. When i told him the story of a bang of my head on
the ground that took place months ago, he said there was nothing wrong
with the left side of my head according to what had been shown on his
fancy machines...and certainly no bruises remain at all. The
traditional herbalist, on the other hand, believes there has been
damage on that part of the head caused by the bang and that the damage
is still lingering on. The way he managed to prove that was to inject
a solution into my system that was meant for melting down 'bruises'
and afterwards observed how the body reacted to it. The body reacted
favorably to this kind of intravenous injection treatment and
currently more than 80% of the ringing is gone! There is no guarantee
that the ring will not come back. But the cause and effect
relationship seems to have been established. It is the relationship
between the ring and the poor blood circulation in the left side of my
head caused by the bang of the head against the ground that took place
months ago.

FP ... apologies for not reading everything you
have written in the past, but didn't you just
say that you thought your T was from blood
pressure medication and that changing this
medication lessened the T significantly?
You certainly seem to take an active approach
toward getting better but with everything
going on and all of the changing of medications
how can you be sure of what change is specifically
causing what result ?
Just curious. If your symptoms are lessened
by 80% that is all the really matters. But
it does get confusing.

Changing high blood pressure medication and the way by which the
medication is taken has helped a lot. Compared with the days of the
maddening ill during the initial stage, 80% of the noise is gone on
most days but there are days in which T does rebound. How to solidify
the foundation has become both an art and a struggle. I personally
feel the damage from the big bang on the left side of the head is
still lingering on and comes out to haunt on me from time to time.
The doctor said it takes time for that part to heal.
