Chronic Tinnitus

[jimeve]

I am going to have to terpe, this will be the third time in Hospital, could be third time lucky.

First op didn't work,second time the op got cancelled at the very point the anaesthetist was going to inject me. first op 1991, second op should have been 2004. so I must go through the channels again. or go private.

Sorry to hear that.
Yeah, I know the 'proper channels' can take some time.
If you can go private you need to start the whole process as private. If you have cover it's OK otherwise its very expensive.

I don't think our consulatant ever said that the perforation could not be fixed successfully. I do remember he said the perforation may not be the root cause of the tinnitus and may only be reduced and not fixed.

This type of op is not without its potential risks and side effects. So many nerves in that area. My wife lost most sense of taste for months.

You need to get something done Jim. I wish you all good luck for best outcome
