Docs/RNs/preferrably ENTs please. I enjoy reach a dead-end. What can I do immediately?
Hi. I'm looking for an anonymous medical opinion (though reach out please if you are an ENT around DC!).
I own tinnitus, hearing loss, steadily worsening otalgia. The symptoms fluctuate, and started around October of '07. I had a doomed to failure habit of drying/cleaning my ears with a soft tissue day after day, sometimes multiple times a day. After a while I connected the dots and stopped that, and while the symptoms have be reduced, they are still present. Recently, after neomycin/cortisone drops, I have developed more otalgia around the mastoid.
I have see two GPs, two ENTs, and an ENT P/A. Diagnoses have varied (SNHL, TMJ, OE, contained by that order, with allergies interspersed). However, not a soul has done much diagnostic work beyond a cursory otoscopy, tympanometer (A-type, 10/07), and hearing audition (slight HF loss). I keep hearing my right eardrum (the symptomatic ear) "looks fine." Can looks take advantage of here? This is awful! Where can I go from here on this? Is it too much to ask for more diagnostics?
Answers: I suggest that you check with the Deaf Independent Living Association. They not simply want to help the deaf, but to help prevent the loss of audible range. They are not far from DC. They are in Salisbury, MD. I spoke with the residential strength director, Ramona Bradley this morning. She is a Registgered Nurse. It was at the Delmarva Chicken Festival!

I hope she have suggestion to share with you. Good luck!
see an ear, nose, and throat doctor. you call for surgical advice, not hearing audition.
There could be other underlying distress such as loud music, construction site noise, dirt or chemical interference, ear structure, body quirks relative to your individuality. Tinnitus isn't likely to go away. audible range loss isn't likely to come back. audible range aids may not work (amplification vs. ability to actually hear the sound). could be the nouns hairs have eroded rotten (irreplaceable). The Ear Nose and throat doctor is the key specialist that can give you the truth- look for a board certified doctor.
could also be a symptom of menieres
