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...

Absolutely, I'll update the thread as I go over the coming weeks and months.

As well as my tinnitus, I have a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates resulting in considerable nasal blockage, mainly in my right nostril which is almost totally blocked. Incidentally my tinnitus is worst in my right ear. I also have considerable eustachian tube problems. My tympanometry...

I was away on a hunting trip for 4 days and packed away my 32 NRR foam ear plugs as always (these are the highest rated I've come across). I've been on many hunting trips and days at the range and have always found that I can get by so long as I'm diligent in protecting my ears at all times. A...

You could be right. The only time that I have had any relief was when taking prednisolone. it didn't go away, but I'd say the tinnitus was down by close to 80%

I don't experience any pain from the gland, but I do have some typical TMJ symptoms. I don't know if it's true TMJ or more what I'd call an overworked jaw - I have some stress and anxiety which causes me to use clench and I grind my teeth but have been getting treatment and now wear a night...

Hi, I don't now whether or not this is related to my tinnitus/TMJ, but since my tinnitus really spiked up about 18 months ago, I have noticed that there is a crackling/squelching sound when I 'balloon' my cheeks out using air pressure, and there is also similar sounds when I press against the...

I had a mould taken for a mouth guard this morning. A dentist is the most recent specialist I have seen (in a long line of them) since my tinnitus worsened to a point where I was forced to start taking action about it 12 months ago. It seems for me that the root cause is anxiety, which is...

Update - I changed my GP and went and saw them recently to get a referral for another ENT surgeon that works on the public health system and the new GP has diagnosed me as having TMJ. I do grind my teeth badly and catch myself clenching my jaw a lot during the day. I also find my jaw gets worn...

Thanks. I have an appointment in a couple of days with a physiotherapist. The GP thinks this may help things while I get onto the waiting list for septoplasty.

Hi all, In trying to have the cause of my tinnitus diagnosed the only real treatment that I have been offered so far is to correct a deviated septum. I do have a badly blocked nose all the time which the ENT says can cause me to grind my teeth (which I do badly) and as a result I feel like I...

How close were you to the rifle, what calibre, how many shots were there and what was the NRR of your hearing protection? Unless your answers to the above were on the extreme end of the scale, I would find this very hard to believe. It is more likely that your paranoia and anxiety from the...

Hi Celtic, thanks for your post. I too am a passionate hunter and shooter and at times have toiled with the idea of giving it all away. I don't know that my tinnitus is as all a result of noise as I suspect that there are other factors at play, however I have this fear of making it worse and do...

Did your ENT give any indication as to whether the Septoplasty would help your tinnitus at all?

Hi, Does anyone have any knowledge as to whether septoplasty and turbinate reduction will have any positive effect on tinnitus and chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction? I suffer from these two conditions, the cause is unknown, however the ENT pointed out that I have a fairly severely deviated...

Yes, my hearing loss is sensorineural. Does anyone have any knowledge on nasal issues and ETD/tinnitus? Can septoplasty and turbinate reduction assist (potentially)?

Yours culd indeed be ver similar to mine. Unfortunately I really do not know what the cause of mine is, I just know that my ears ring and my tubes are blocked + crack & pop all the time. I have a number of possible causes and have conflicting views from ENT's and audiologists. The one thing they...

Is it normal to experience blocked Eustachian tubes as a result of hearing damage? I was given some hope by the prednisolone as I didn't think it would be of any help if my tinnitus was noise induced, but for the time that I was on the course it was quite helpful. I did also find it odd that...

Hey mate, Your experience may be somewhat similar to mine: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/my-experience-so-far.10418/ It's been almost a week sinceyour original post, have you had any luck with the anti-inflamatories? I had some success with Prednisolone and limited successwith the...

Thanks Andre, and some interesting info there. I am not sure if my issues are the same as yours as I haven't sustained any head trauma that may cause it.

Thanks! There are quite a few shooters down here, 800,000 of them actually. I take it you're a shooter also?

I get the odd pressure pain feeling but it usually passes after a few seconds.

Hi guys, I'm probably hear to just pen my story as much as anything else. I've read over these forums countless times over the past 10 years, particularly over these past nine months. Whilst my tinnitus is not debilitatingly loud, as many of you unfortunately have to endure, I am puttng it...
