    I once saw an osteopath who was doing some research into tinnitus ...and felt for some it had a structural component. No idea what the outcome of his research was though.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    I can well believe it. An auntie of mine has had trouble all her life with nasal drip (sorry about the TMI, but its relevant, I promise) - she had a scan of the bones of her skull in the end, and it turns out all those furled little bones/cartilidges inside our noses were furled too tightly, in her case, they couldn't do their job properly, poor little things :rotfl: nothing to do with her diet, her lifestyle choices, her environment, anything, just genetics.

  • Still here. Not much to say.
  • Tinnitus still bad? Grandad had it for 40 years (he had menieres though, so a different issue), it's truly awful. Hope they've sort it soon.

    Can they do much for tinnitus? - I've had it for 35+ years - worse when I'm run down/ stressed. GP was useless when I mentioned it, so it's just something I've lived with since secondary school

  • It doesn't bother me as much as it does some people. I figure if I can hear my heart beating then I'm still alive at least.

    Green you should get it checked out if it's only in one ear - that's why they were interested in me.
  • Ooh! Exciting. Looks like a work opportunity coming up.
