thanks -
about the question of the tinnitus...i saw the tinnitus remark but he then said GP ruled out ear issues - just confirming if he has neurological tinnitus or possibly referred pain into the ears...or did the GP mean that he didn't have tinnitus, etc etc...

..so i should ask the question better

@alan31 - do you have tinnitus confirmed as a diagnosis by your GP or even better your ENT? Or do you still have symptoms like tinnitus now?

Thanks!
