    (Wallace and) Grommets for Hyperacusis

    If we had better descriptions of the patients, more people would do the operations and better information would come from that too. This applies to Hain or Silverstein. Silverstein did his more than fair bit with his seminars and presenting the study at an otology conference, but we can do...

    (Wallace and) Grommets for Hyperacusis

    Anyway, saying doctors are cowards is too extreme, saying they're useless bureaucrats would be a better estimate, and that the more pretentious among them who ship the patients off to shrinks and TRT are the creepiest of them all is also accurate. If I were an ear doctor I wouldn't risk my...

    (Wallace and) Grommets for Hyperacusis

    There's never been a visible loss of hearing on audiometry, but audiometry tests are lame anyways and don't hit the exact frequencies of my two tinnituses.

    (Wallace and) Grommets for Hyperacusis

    Well that depends on what you think your life is worth. I think my life is worth stuff as it is now despite what the vultures have said to me, but I know people for whom their life isn't worth anything and they're willing to be guinea pigs.

    Sorry haven't been on Tinnitus Talk for ages. Looks like a couple of months after that post I had an exchange with him: I said: ''Hi Dr Hain, On your page you introduce the idea of grommets for hyperacusis, saying surprised that they also apply for hyperacusis without perilymph fistula. Over...

    No. I'll try. I doubt he'll say much. Isn't there a lot more to speculate about when after all these years we were told H was due to SNHL and this one seems so much closer to conductive hearing loss or blockage.... and yet he barely just doesn't even give a reason as to why it might be working.

    Neither I. Who lives near Chicago, has insurance and so on and can schedule an appointment? Maybe we can crowdsource any questions we have for him.

    (Wallace and) Grommets for Hyperacusis

    The latest June 2016 update of one of the internet's main reference pages for ear issues, Timothy Hain's Chicago Dizziness and Balance site has a brief mysterious mention of the use of PE tubes for hyperacusis. It's not the statement you think it is, the one that's been around for years...
