On further searching, it looks like there is a device made by a company called Neuromod. Don't know if it's been prescribed, covered by insurance, etc.

Here's something that might be worth trying if you want to improve your ear health.

I can't see it doing any harm (except maybe raise a few laughs if you were ever to try it in public).

At the very least it certainly helps me to avoid clogged ears after a shower.

@bigwave1,

’Why does medicine always attempt to fix the symptoms instead of the cause.’


I think you know the answer already. It’s far more profitable that way.


@sandthemall,

’My point: do something about it. Try everything.’


Absolutely. The possible rewards are worth it.

I had a bout of Meniere’s disease over Christmas a few years ago - horrible, horrible, horrible - and tried out that doctors advice on YouTube (as well as light use of an infra red heat lamp).

Not only did it not return but my hearing seems to be the best it’s ever been. Not sure about any missing frequency notches (hope not), but I appreciate those rare inky black silences and that excellent detection of distant sounds.

Gee, the fridge motor and boiler operations have lives of their own as the cars hum past outside.
