I have not regained much hearing after 6 months, and the lingering tinnitus and hyperacusis are very troublesome. I have tried to find a practitioner using LLLT around Lexington, KY without success. Is there a list or recommendation of practitioners near Lexington. Thanks for any input!

The average improvement for pain thresholds were for 444 observations 15.26 dB, for 80 long term follow-up observations 4-6 months after therapy it was 23.19 dB and for short term follow-up instantly after therapy it was 13.52 dB. The results are highly significant even if compared with a palcebo group where 80 % of the population waould be expected to improve without getting any therapy at all. The ENT doctor, professor Matti Anniko, Akademiska at Uppsala, said in an interview in 2005 that an average improvement of 15 dB for hyperacusis patients would be arson! However, several times during the interview he was also stating that he didn't believe in LASER therapy. For him science is obviously based upon or colored by belief instead of knowledge and a scientific approach. The treatment method described in the article is today used in clinical treatment and it consists of LASER therapy using semi conductor lasers, a pulsed electriomagnetic field and the measurement, control and prescription of anti-oxidants. The treatment also works on other hearing- and balance disorders.
