I was reading what Dawn wrote and, (((( Smiles ))))

I don't think she is still around not sure but..
Dawn said that she is under the ENT for tinnitus and earpain.
I use to have tinnitus and earpain too before I noticed hyperacusis as hyperacusis though maybe a part of hyperacusis.
I wonder if the maskers helped her as these days they use TRT Tinnitus Retraining Therapy instead of maskers.
My tinnitus has improved alot from the worse of didn't undergo TRT but did sound therapy plus took lots of supplements and did undergo long term accupuncture and I think
it does depend on the provider wheither it's effective or not...
as there are good providers out there and some not so good providers but it could have also have been all that herbal Chinese medicine they had me cook up that looked like twigs and bark ect.. Natures medicine chest...
But my painful tinnitus did progressed all the way into awful hyperacusis and I underwent an MRI and they didn't see a durn thang.
An MRI is so very loud it just made my condition worse hope she wore earplugs but sometimes it's not always enough for everybody.
Need earplugs and muffs depending on ones weak ears.
But an MRI scan for the ear pain did it help??
