I founf this agreement with auris which goes all the way back to 2003. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1601936/000119312514253454/d684505dex101.htm

Yep, I am back for a consultation with an ENT on Monday morning. My surgeon is apparently not at that hospital anymore, so I'll be seeing my 4th ENT since my tinnitus became a real issue two years ago. Hopefully they can repair the perforation. I have heard it's a complex surgery, far more so...

In a not so good development, I began noticing a whistle as I breathe through my nose. It turns out that I have a perforated septum, which is visible in the mirror with the use of a torch. Apparently this is a complication that occurs in 1-5% of patients. Not ideal! I'll have to try and get in...

I went through Medicare, our public healthcare system in Australia and so did not pay anything, although I had to wait for about 6 months. When I was quoted by my initial ENT through the private system I think it was around $4,500 AUD. This covered everything including the surgeons fees...

I don't know if masa surgery is a silver bullet. It may help or may not. I've seen a lot of professionals write that it won't have any effect, but some say it can. Who knows really. Perhaps it will indirectly help eg. Better breathing, less jaw clenching at night and therefore improved TMJ...

Yep, I have ETD too (worse on the side of my deviation).

Wow, your development sounds a lot better than mine as I've not head any luck modulating my tinnitus etc. I hope you're on the road to recovery. Thanks also for sharing the word from your ENT specialist as well. I hope you continue to progress through the recovery. I didn't find the surgery...

Asia88, have you had your surgery yet? Myself, and I am sure others, will be keen to see how your progress goes.

Despite the fact that I can't pop my eustachian tubes very well using either the valsalva manouver or an otovent balloon (I have to tilt my head to each side to have any hope of getting the opposing ear to pop) I came up with 'normal' pressure (A), before I had the surgery, so maybe I'm not a...

It's been almost 4 weeks since my surgery now and I had my follow-up appointment with the ENT surgeon yesterday. My right nostril was fairly blocked still but he cleared that out for me and now I can breathe very well. He said it's not surprising my tinnitus was still there as my nasal...

I suspect that this may be what is happening with me and possibly others here. Whilst this article doesn't mention tinnitus specifically, it does draw a direct link between nasal issues and Eustachian tube problems, which are well documented as being a cause of tinnitus...

It can lead to eustachian tube dysfunction and even TMJ disorder if breathing problems are causing jaw clenching or tooth grinding during the night. Both of these conditions can cause tinnitus.

Well it has been a little over two weeks since the surgery and there has been no change to my tinnitus as yet. In saying that though, my breathing has not improved too much compared with before the surgery as yet. My left nostril is probably a little better but the bad one, my right, which is...

Hi Seal, The surgery and recovery hasn't been too bad, not painful, just uncomfortable. A lot of time spent on the couch with blood and goop running down to a bandage. Not sexy at all. My surgeon said a similar thing, that it will be some time until any benefit is noticed regarding tinnitus...

I had my surgery yesterday and spent the night in hospital. I'll be discharged right after breakfast. Relatively painless, it's just been a bit uncomfortable so far. No impact on my tinnitus yet, although my nose is still quite congested so that is not too surprising. The surgeon said it...
