Potential relief for tinnitus?


Just came across this article. While I don't suffer from this myself, I have read posts from others who do. Hopefully some good will come out of this discovery.

The current treatment of miniers is during the attack low does Valium 2 mg .maxzide as a daily dose. Avoid the things that set it off for yourself .if it becomes life disrupting a surgical procedure called endolymphatic shunt can help. You go behind the ear drill out the mastoid get down on the canal of schlem and place a shunt.it is believed the is to much endolymph and perilymph which is just csf brain fluid. I have done this and it has worked. The disease is dizzy fluctuating hearing lossĀ  and tinnitus. As far as sinus and ear relationship go they are connected in the back of the nose nasopharynx the ear drains out the eustation tube from the middle ear.we now have a balloon that goes through the nose and retrograde and diabetes it if it has dysfunction.i have done this alot and put ear tube's in at the same time. It has 50% success rate. As far as sinusitis you try saline lavage ,asteline, Flonase nasocrome, decongestants. I found like chow,ramadon,parsons Peter whong,tim Smith, all md that a ct or x ray is 5 min in time and just because it's negative does not mean you don't have sinusitis.i operated on alot of patients and found infection in the sinus that did not show on ct.if you have more than 4 a year go see your ent MD. For new onset of tinnitus after virus bacteria loud ear trauma I found antibiotics steroids and ear drops within the first week was the best chance of getting rid of it. For long term history of tinnitus start with audiogram if hearing loss use hearing aids.they audiologist can map your frequency.distraction like fan,white noise wave music ect .keep diary find what foods make it worse.then avoid that.i have used beta histine with some relief in some patients. Betta blockers ect .you must get a mri to make sure you don't have a tumor on the nerve if new onset hearing loss much worse in one ear.asymetric hearing loss. I told patients for 40 plus years if they found the cure for tinnitus come back we would open up the world's tinnitus clinic and be richer than Bill gates.it never happened.this is only my experience.you must see your local ent there are neurotologists that specialize in only ears.until then enjoy the music and the research.non of this is medical advice don't try this at home see you doctor.
