The medics won't put in grommets in adults around here... but both our twins had grommets twice due to middle ear infections (that connect to the eustachian tube for pressure equalisation).
Menthol crystal inhalations help sometimes..... but you sound as if you have sinus problems too.
And as for the tinnitus.... have you tried identifying the exact frequency, making it into a sound file, then blasting yourself for a few minutes? I do that occasionally and in my case it works... silence for a short while.
I used http://www.nch.com.au/tonegen/index.html to identify then duplicate the tone...... |
It's horrible, they only equalise under water, as soon as i come back up they are blocked again. Ive not tried the sound file thing, to be honest i can live with the ringing, i don't normally notice it until i go to bed.
I was suprised he doesn't think anything can be done, i would definately have grommits fitted if they helped me, i wish i was still privately insured so i dont have to wait two months for an appointment.
Thanks for your advise, i will read up on the methanol crystal.

Ive just tried it and am a bit of a loss, how exactly did you know when to stop? I went through the range and could hear them all clearly, right up until i hurt.
