Hi @stites I'd like to join @lioness in welcoming you to Connect. You may have noticed I moved your post to this existing discussion on controlling tinnitus symptoms so that you can Connect with others who have similar experiences. Simply click VIEW & REPLY in your email notification to get to you post.

That must be so frustrating to have to retire from a job you love due to this condition.

I'd like to introduce you to fellow Connect members @bobbyboomer @nurseheadakes and @scottk as they have experience with tinnitus and may be able to offer you support.

Back to you @stites what have been some of the suggestions give to you by doctors?

Hi, my ENT did 2 surgeries on my inner ear and opened up my eustation tube. He than put a more permanent ear tube in for draining to help prevent further ear infections. My pain has been less but my hearing has not improved or the tinnitus. He also suggested Accupunture. I tried it for 6 sessions but again no improvements except my neck felt a little better. At this time the tinnitus is so loud it brings on headaches and lack of sleep. I have tried keeping track of food, meds, stress to figure out spikes but truly I cannot get a handle on this and it’s been six months now. Thank you for any other suggestions. I’m open to other ideas.
Sincerely,
Stites
