Re: Tinnitus-and ENT doctors

[Guest guest]

Personally I think ent's are the most useless of useless dr's...

Just goes to show you how far a tuning fork and a lab coat can get

you...they'll go into their standard mumbo jumbo about tinnitus and

its causes (idiosympatic-unknown causes. not sure about spelling)

The nerves and nerve/hair follicles (I think it is) in your inner ear

are the most sensitive to any toxins (ie mercury-viruses). I think it

makes sense when you are chelating that your inner ears and therefore

hearing (tinnitus) might be affected..

I know how annoying this tinnitus can be. I am not chelating yet

and have stopped my Andy supplements (due to blood tests being done)

and my tinnitus is much worse.

I lost my hearing about 3 years ago (sudden sensory hearing loss or

soemthing like that) and my ent basically said tough luck and good

luck. Some of the causes from my web research is heavy metals/viruses

I was lucky to have a contact at UCSF-ENT; a Dr Lustig who had used

steriod shots to the inner ear (very painful) to treat this hearing

loss. I recovered about 30% of my hearing.
