Hi, my DH has hearing loss and tinitus in one ear. It started about 3 years ago, for no known reason. The Dr said there wasn't a cure for it, but there are coping mecanisms.
It really is driving him mad. He's the sort of person who can't stand a ticking clock, or rustleing noises. It's making him quite depressed and stressed.
Is there an operation that would make him totally deaf in that ear in order to get rid of the tinitus? He only has 20% hearing in that ear anyway. He said he'd much rather be deaf in that ear.
Are there any things he can try? Herbal remadies, drugs, acupuncture etc?
It's really starting to effect all aspects of his life.
