Becca,

Good for you for sticking up for your needs. Sounds like you found a good doctor. I was thinking about what specialty to refer you to. I was concerned about a garden variety ENT. Once you get a negative diagnosis, the garden variety ENT can make it difficult to get seen by a better specialist.

Stick with this doctor. He sounds like he has your needs as a priority.

It is interesting how the inner ear can get injured by G forces from an impact.

The microscopic repairs they can do are amazing. hope you ear is repairable.

My best to you.
