i wouldn't let anyone else touch my ears but this man he is known worldwide( i guess patients come from out of the country and all over the US to see him) its probably not a secret, but me being disabled with CF i am covered under the states insurance and feel priveledged to be able to have this man work for what will be penny's, because the state pays hardly a dime for anything a medical provider does he even has some devices for the ears invented and named after him. he is training other drs to do what he is doing because he is at least 65 i am willing to bet. most people like him could have retired years ago, but i think he realizes how many people he is helping and must enjoy his job to keep working at his age he has been perfecting this surgery for over 30 years and seems to be the only dr in MN concerned with the debilitating affects of vestibular disorders this is not a cure...but what it offers is:
70% chance of elimination of vertigo 90% chance of improvement of the symptoms 90% chance or better of preservation of my hearing 30-40% chance that my hearing will improve better than 50% chance that my ringing and pressure will be improved or eliminated
this is the least destructive of all the procedures and that is why he is choosing this first he may have to operate on my right ear eventually but he is starting with the one that is causing me the worst pain. ( they both are causing pain and pressure but the left is worse for hearing and pain and pressure it seems)
the dr feels this will dramatically improve the quality of my life and he was very sympathetic to my debilitation we cant do both ears at the same time he has no proof from the testing which ear is the worst but he says, "i have hundreds of people that come to me with these symptoms and their tests all show up normal but i believe what your telling me and i am going to help you as best as i can and the rest is up to the man in the sky"
