That's an excellent paper to print out and bring to your specialists. It includes a good case study of how things can be missed as well as a checklist for specialists to go over to ensure they haven't missed anything.

@Haley Hi Haley - it's a good paper - I had also posted it. They talk about the below, but with 48% of causes mentioned, more emphasis needs to placed on this.
Newer research focus on the internal jugular and vertebral arteries where they have moved causing partial blockage. Often with PT, C spine injury has involvement and the vertebral artery. Also the thyroid can cause sounds as it associates directly to the same regions of the brain as tinnitus does.

Any chance we could get this thread or paper itself pinned on top of the PT forum. Thanks.
