Yes, I have seen a specialist but as you probably know, not much can be done. I have had tinnitus for a couple of years now. Then the balance thing kicked in. When this flares up I take a medication called Betahistamine, that controls dizziness. I think it helps some. When the flare ups go away I stop that medication. As for tinnitus I play sounds with pods to relieve some days of louder noises. I keep hoping there will a cure for these problems. As of now, my hearing loss in minimal. Thanks for writing.
