You just HAVE to hear this!
Ok the clock is ticking on treating my hearing and tinnitus problem. It was caused by a virus, and a month is the longest anyone treats it.
At the last visit, my doctor gave me my third shot of Prednison in my eardrum. She said she
hardly ever gives a fourth shot unless there is significant improvement,
So I set my next appointment, which was today.
I got my hearing tested, and the audiologist said my hearing was about the same.
Maybe a slight improvement, but essentially unchanged.
So I see the doctor. She is surprised to see me because she wanted me to come
back in a month, not a week. This means she was not planning to give me a fourth
shot and that it would be time to talk hearing aids.
But since I had mistakenly come back in a week, she looked at my new hearing
test and said it had essentially not changed, maybe a little bit, but not enough
to justify a fourth shot.
I told her I found it odd that it improves each time "a little bit" but each time is not
significant. I asked her to compare today's test with my first one.
Her jaw dropped. There was a very big difference. Like 4 times better than the type of improvement she wants to see. She said she must not have remembered it right. She said she would definitely do a fourth shot based on this "significant' improvement.
So because I was insistent, in the space of less than a minute I went from "no
change" to "significant improvement."
That got me a fourth shot.
All because I was suspicious of these "little" changes that they were
discounted and asked to compare from when I started. Also, she "forgot" about
where I had started.
Now my tinnitus has dropped a lot more.
The same doctor shrugged off Notched Audio Therapy. She said she had never heard of it, and that she wouldn't trust a therapy that had no studies to support it.
I asked her, if she has never heard of it, how does she know there are no studies? In fact, there are studies. They show Notched Audio Therapy reduces tinnitus significantly.
This arrogant doctor "forgot" my hearing test results, failed to even compare hearing tests, and dismissed the only therapy that actually reduces tinnitus.
I had to fight the whole way, and the clock was ticking because damage to hearing from a virus has to be addressed quickly.
Oh it turns out my doctor is selling hearing aids. That explains it. She couldn't make money off of Notched Audio Therapy. It was in her best interest NOT to reduce my tinnitus, so I would buy a hearing aid.
