@windyshores it does sound like you may need surgery to help with some of your symptoms. Keep in mind that when your ears pick up sounds, your inner/middle ear connects the sound with your brain for processing and the sound travels through nerves so it may trigger a neurological response in your facial nerves.

@dlydailyhope I expected some discussion of exactly that with the neurotologist but got a shrug.I guess it is possible that both the neck issues and sound could independently cause facial pain and numbness. I have read about the nerves, coming from the brain stem, the various connections but it is pretty complicated and wanted an MD's opinion.

I can handle the numbness but the pain is so distressing that I am selling my new condo. Big loss of money. I cannot stay here. I cannot get a doctor to understand the severity but if they don't have a surgery to suggest in otoneurology I guess the appointment is quick and a bit brusque.

I will have my MRI's (expensive!) and find a surgeon to at least discuss this with. I am also trying PT, massage, tai chi and a program to retrain the brain.
