Hello Click: Welcome to NeuroTalk. I just wanted to mention that another thing you can do here on NT (in case you haven't already found it) is to use the Advanced Search function to search for previous posts related to your areas of concern:

By the way, I might just mention I have Meniere's Disease & tinnitus. I was fortunate to find an ENT physician in my area who has tinnitus himself & who has made something of a specialty of treating tinnitus patients. I had previously seen another ENT who not only didn't help, but who actually caused my condition to become dramatically worse (temporarily fortunately.) So I know from personal experience it can make a big difference what ENT doctor one sees. I'm not surprised you had the experience you had. Good luck with your efforts to find answers to your dilemma.
