Yes. I also explain how in the message right above yours.
Thanks. I wen't to a Neuro-otologist this morning. Supposedly real hot shots in this state. Bad news for what she is saying, I don't believe her.
She said it's just "tinnitus", and brain sourced in nature. And that the vibrating sensation is in fact possible too. I cannot accept it. I asked her why it would pop up in 2015 for no reason, and be only intermittent. Then come back briefly for one day in 2018 after I had a ETD issue, and then nothing again until May of this year.
She said, tinnitus can just come and go for no reason. Like well sure, tinnitus can come and go, but low frequency noise induced tinnitus or medically low freq. is often very rare and my normal T is always been higher pitch with only a very mild low drone in back when it's super quiet. Nothing like this where I can feel it when it gets aggravated.
She believes the fact I pick up low. freq. sounds more in the ear means there's some excitability or something and this is all T and Hyperacusis related. I said I didn't get pain in my ears other than from ETD issues, and that this slight soreness in ear from this vibration was not around before. I had loud noise exposures and all sorts of things, so why wouldn't I've got pain before then? My H for years has always been just noises seems a lot louder and higher freq. noises being more bothersome to the ear. Rarely over years did I ever have a slight soreness, and that was temporary and what I believe was just the inner ear muscles tensing very tightly from the noise/startle.
She said my sound was not at all muscle related. She said there's no vibrating hum or pulsing type sound, it's a click or thump! Wouldn't even consider this likely she was so sure I was just T.
If I believe what she says, I'm screwed. That means I'm fucked. It doesn't add up with my issues and what she is saying.
