Tinnitus treatments
Detail
My ear canals are extremely narrow and normal irrigation won't work. I have had microsuction but the doctor told me that due to the narrowness of the canals he couldn't get to all the wax. I also feel slightly off balance when walking, could this be due to the problem? I'm told nothing more can be done but I wondered if anyone knows of any other procedures that could be tried to clear out the wax? Thank you
