I’ve had a ringing that returns when I swim. I’ve had it for five years. I was told by doctor salzer that the ringing is part of my imagination. He then looked at my ear and said that a hair that is laying on my eardrum “could be the culprit.” That hair has been there 5 years? Find someone else in your network or pay to go to someone outside of it. It’s a waste to go to this guy.
