This is a really interesting question and an interesting answer TLC, as I keep being told my tinnitus is nothing to do with the AN.  Did you have loss of hearing before your op TLC?

I had ringing in my right ear & I thought it was to many loud concerts plus my my husband is drummer.I thought it was the loud music  that led to my tinnitus.My doctor was amazed that it went away with surgery,& i'm happy about that. I also had some hearing loss .. Teresa

Right now I`m watching and waiting. I`ve had tinnitus for 30 years and minor high pitched hearing loss for about 10 years when I first noticed it. This is why I`m doing what I`m doing and leaving everything alone. I`ve doing neuromonics which seems to be helpful but dosn`t  get rid of the ringing just subdues it. If I knew that an operation could definately preserve hearing and somewhat get rid of tinnitus I would give it a shot. I hear to much to the contrary. Thanks, Mickey
