This is what ENTs told me about tinnitus (twice)
When I first developed tinnitus, I went to see an ENT.
I was basically told:
“Just live with it. There’s nothing you can do.”
That was it... 😯
No guidance, no plan, no real support.
Of course, it made me feel worse.
Some years later, I went back, this time because of TTTS.
(middle-ear muscle spasms that can be extremely distressing)
Different doctor, same feeling.
Again:
“There’s nothing you can do.”
And then this:
“We could cut the (middle-ear) muscle… but we don’t know if it will help. It might make things worse.”
Both experiences left me feeling:
More anxious
More confused
And completely on my own
Each time, it pushed me into a deep search for answers.
Eventually, I figured things out… but not thanks to these visits. 🤷♂️
Now I’m really curious about you 👇
What was your experience the first time you saw a doctor for tinnitus, hyperacusis, TTTS, or something similar?
What did they tell you?
How did it make you feel?
Did it help… or make things worse?
Let’s share openly, please. I think this will help a lot of people here. 🙏💙
