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.

We'll be prayin for ya here too bro, the inner ear has a bunch of things that can go wrong and can be real complicated. They may never get to the root of the problems.

Yes, Allen, I have resigned myself to living with this problem.
I have spent too much time in the medical system in the early years and have no intention of getting into that rut again now for something I can live with.
If it is a problem with the brain, nothing can be done about it anyway. People will just have to put up with me.

Thanks,
woodsman

I can hear but I have ear pain/pressure which I think is from my eye pain and pressure. I too also had another mri of my brain and the ear. This was not only to look at tumors but fluids or other things which I am not sure what pressing. I am assuming you are not in the US but is there any way you could get one? I had been to all the other specialties like the ear doctor,11 eye specialist etc and the pain was so high I went back to my neuro who did the mri again. I had one a year ago for my legs of the brain though. Have you been tested for other conditions like auto immune in addition?Feel better

If I lived in the big city, I probably would go for that second opinion but, as it is, I would have to travel about 200 miles to get to a good ENT. I have lived with this for a long time and can continue to do so for the next 45 years, unless it gets much worse.
Thanks again.
