Sometimes I suspect I have PF too. I consulted 4 specialists in DC area and one of them (Jeffrey Kim) supposed to be good at GWU hospital.

When I mention PF, they just don't know what to say because no tests can detect that minute hole. I have done about 2 CT scans and MRI in ear and nothing came out indicating anything wrong.

Only one doctor willing to do an exploratory surgery but I backed off after hearing my co-worker has vertigo and she went for the surgery with another k own dizzy doctor.

She said her vertigo gone for about an year and one day it came back again with full force with tinnitus. She thinks it was not worth it. Then again it all depends on many factors and luck plays some role in it too
