I am seeking a Homeopathic doctor to see if that can help. I have also been researching hyperacusis online and I do think that is what I have, there are different forms of it. I am going to demand to do the TRT so that I can continue with my life. In addition I also had an MRI and that showed everything to be normal.      </BLOCKQUOTE> In 1991 I began hearing a low buzz in my right ear. It would come and go. Sometimes extremely loud and would often wake me up at night. I went to see a doctor about it, and he confirmed it was tinitus. I took a hearing check and it was normal. I was very scared that I would lose my main source of income in piano tuning. This went on for well over a year. After several visits to many doctors, I hurt my back and started seeing a chiropractor. His partner was a chiropractor and a naturepath as well. He came in and checked my right ear. He saw a yeast infection and gave my a prescription called hypercum oil. In three days the buzzing in my ear stopped and has never returned.  This is after the medical doctors had basically given up on me. I am not saying this is what you have and that it will work with individuals with tinitus. I hope and pray this will help and you will be on your way to a complete healing.
