Hi Woodsman,

I wasn't saying that it is a brain tumour , just that that is one of the many things that they rule out. Obviously I don't know your history but it sounded like your Otolaringologist was dismissive of you and your complaints. Personally I'd go for a second opinion.

When I was sent home from the emergency room with no answers and no help the tinnitus was still getting worse and I got really scared. The doctors who examined me in emerg just weren't connecting the dots and I was only seen by a resident ENT doctor who basically shrugged his shoulders and treated me for a migraine, I knew it was not a migraine.

I turned right around and went and went directly to the ENT department. I did a sit-in until the head of the department would see me. He ultimately and they got me the right help.

I hope you do find out what is behind this and get the right treatment.

MsL
