Are There Any Good ENTs Out There Specialized in Tinnitus?

[Maureen777]

I'm just wondering about this. I waited 3 months for my ENT doctor's appointment. When I finally got in to see him, he just basically gave me some literature on CBT (cognitive behavioural training) for my tinnitus.

Such a waste of time!

Has anybody had any GOOD experiences with an ENT doctor?

What was your expectation going in?

Did the ENT at least tell you to protect your hearing? Avoid loud noises? As with any doctor there is no guarantee. I'd say avoid any doctor that went to a medical school in Dominican Republic or countries like that!

Hmmm... good question. I suppose I was hoping he would be more helpful in trying to figure out why I have tinnitus, and maybe offer some better solutions.

Nope, nothing like that at all. Oh well, at least I didn't have to pay for the visit. It was covered by our provincial medical plan.
