A symptom not understood by medical science. A book about tinnitus – and about an important cause. My story goes back to 1991. I was 26 at the time. The book that I have written is about my journey with tinnitus. From the time before it manifested in 2010, until spring 2023. It describes a long struggle, and a physical journey that brought me to England, the United States and Germany in search of a solution. I found the cause of my tinnitus, but met hospital doctors who did not understand, nor were they interested in researching the cause of my tinnitus. I was let down by the Norwegian health care system. It is claimed that there are many causes of tinnitus. I suspect the cause I found may be important for a lot of people. Medical science seems to be groping blindly, with lofty theories about phantom sounds created in the brain. The solution is probably much simpler..
