    Not like how it was in the beginning. Inflammation is still meh. I'll try to pop in more often. Just took a break from the site; you know?

    My eardrums were healthy. You can have ETD with healthy eardrums - mine are fine for example. The test was offered first thing with my private ETD - didn’t have to ask. Definitely look for a different private hospital in that case! It was around £100-200 I believe for the test and initial...

    Yep - I regularly feel soreness and movement in my affected ear - like a living piece of clay. I’m convinced it’s just stubbornly inflammed tissue - it’s just difficult to “get at” and treat due to the skull being in the way. Darn skull :S

    Tinnitus is one of the worst. But it makes other bad things seem...less bad by comparison. Not as important to worry about or get scared over. It’s difficult (not impossible, but difficult) to ‘up the ante’.
