    Tinnitus Started 17 Days After Stapedectomy; Constant Hissing in Operated Ear for Six Days!

    With regard to Beyond Tinnitus, they did email me and suggested that I wait until two months post surgery to try their product. I have had constant hissing tinnitus for four weeks now and am starting to come to terms that it may not go away even though I did not have it pre-surgery. I have also...

    Flying, Anyone Had Issues?

    Tinnitus Started 17 Days After Stapedectomy; Constant Hissing in Operated Ear for Six Days!
