Aren’t you a barrel of hope and joy.
Bilateral tinnitus,three different tones, from firing a rifle without ear protection. Killed a rabid raccoon and my hearing. Years ago, Visited with an ENT after audiologist referral, ex Army doctor was “all in your head”, “control freak”, “stress”.
My comment after his rant was “So, doc, I know you think you’re helping, but you’ve never actually had tinnitus, have you?” Shut him right up.
Well... You can’t shut me up... I have tinnitus and I’ve had it for more than 20 years and I have accepted that I have it. Another ailment that I’ve had for 20 years that has supposedly has cures that cost tons of money and do absolutely nothing for you... Sleep apnea... The only cure that actually works for me... I wake up.
