I went to the doctor today and told him I just started getting floaters
How the f does tinnitis cause floaters.
"its just about how you perceive it man"I remember back on r/tinnitus, one of the mods said a guy was like an anti-vaxxer because he was cure oriented like a normal person, and didn't agree with the whole habituation-based focus of r/tinnitus. Imagine having that much of a lack of self-reflection. Because considering that we know the science of tinnitus and tinnitus research, that's clearly not true. I remember earlier on MPP, Contrast got upset at me for wrongly using the word "Theory". Meanwhile everywhere else in the tinnitus community, even with the ATA and stuff, weird crap goes unchallenged.
We focus on science around here, but everywhere else in the tinnitus "world", there's tons of hippy bullshit, like focusing on anxiety or whatever the latest meme is. Nothing praticularly important about this rant, it just pisses me off when these people think we're the anti-scientific ones when the reality is the opposite.

They learn how to diagnose certain problems and then sell FDA approved drugs and devices. They are salesmen more so than actual physicians.I want to go to ENT school just to figure out how people could study the ear for years without learning jack shit about HEARING which is the primary function of the goddamn ear!!!

How did a hearing test cause hearing loss?I am going to do a hearing test next month to see if my hearing recovered (Doubt it). I will grill my audiologist on the whole ear tests that caused me the 20db of hearing loss.
How did a hearing test cause hearing loss?
"Oh hey look at that, this test shows there's a dip in me. I should start ringing very loudly now".How did a hearing test cause hearing loss?

if you can prove this sue their ass.caloric test- ear irrigation, not loud, but caused the vibrations of the water hitting the eardrum can cause cochlea cell damage.
vemp test- 110db in volume, 2 minutes in duration (electrodes placed on face), it emitted a loud knocking sound like an MRI (almost same volume), week after that my T went from a 2 to a 10. Week after that went to the audiologist where, in comparison to my audiogram from October, hearing fell from 5db to 25db on 4khz, he said it was stress and anxiety that caused this. How the hell can somewone get hearing loss on 4khz from stress? Seems like noise induced hearing loss. I developed black eye floaters and then visual snow eventually. This is something I am battling alongside blasting tinnitus.
if you can prove this sue their ass.
Yup. She knows you can sue for serious cash. It's not rare for doctors who really fucked up to act like that.Idk that sounds risky. My ENT told me it would be the best for both of us If I dont come back for quite some time to her.
Yup. She knows you can sue for serious cash.
