      Hi all,

      I have had Exostosis for many years being a swimmer and scuba diver from a young age (I’m 57 now).

      I also have had tinnitus for many years at a low level, and about 12 months ago the volume of my tinnitus increased dramatically for no apparent reason.

      I wondered whether anyone had experienced an improvement in their tinnitus after Exostosis surgery to remove the bony growths?

      Getting desperate for options for relief as my tinnitus is now so loud I cannot hear soft voices and hearing aids aren’t helping.

      Cheers,
      Glenn

      Brain Stem injury due to over-ambitious yoga stretch
      No but I'd like to know too - right ear is 90% narrowed and my tinnitus is like a cranial sandstorm.
