@bill 112 - this should have not happened to you and no wonder you feel bitter about the whole thing. Of course you would trust a qualified audiologist - they are supposed to be experts on hearing and yet seem to be totally ignorant on conditions like T and H that many suffer from. I really hope you can overcome this and it is a good sign you already had some improvement - even if it feels even worse to then have a setback. I think it means there is a good chance it will get better again. Do you have good and bad phases - like one day better and then some week worse? Is your T a reactive kind, does it get triggered by certain noises?
I have a scheduled appointment for an audiologist with all sorts of hearing tests, including those that have gotten lots of warnings here. I feel so naive for not finding out about this myself - I really considered that hearings tests above everything would be conducted in the safest way possible. I will either skip the whole appointment or then refuse to have the dangerous ones.
This seems as absurd as getting your vision checked and the optician suddenly pointing your eyes with a laserpen! Makes me so angry people have to deal with dire consequences from procedures that should put the patient's health above everything.
