I have to say though, that it’s very likely he just got better on his own. I’ve done nothing but obsess over and research tinnitus online for months now (and just wrote about it on my blog here: Aspects of Amber)
and doctors really don’t know much about it, why it shows up, why it leaves, which treatments work and which do not.

But for whatever reason, so glad Doug is better. Gotta say, glad I’m on the mend too. It’s really an awful thing to go through and nobody should have to go through such a thing.

Thank YOU (and Doug) for sharing what has become a happy ending.

I only just read this. Glad to hear that Doug is better now. I punctured my ear drum a few years ago and I sympathise with Doug’s situation. Being constantly surrounded by noise here in Japan did not help my recovery at all. I always knew Japan was noisy, but you don’t realise how noisy until something happens to your ears. Wish him a swift recovery from us.

Don’t let what I write next color any opinion you may have of me:

have you ever seen the episode of South Park where the boys sabotage an event using the brown note?

Really, though, I am so sorry for Doug that he’s had to suffer through this trauma. And you both will stay in my thoughts and prayers – Doug for recovery and you, Diana, for bearing it as his spouse and main source of support. Kind of scary, having something happen to your beloved…..

Oh, it was totally interesting–but not in a _good_ way. [wry g]

I agree…sounds like SOMEBODY (fictional of course) needs a nasty little bug in their ear!

Glad the hubby is getting better.
