My mother has had the ear problems for a long time but it is getting worse. If she can please be put on a list to do the study if anyone pulls out. Please this would help her understand better the issues she has gone through with her ears for years. Thank you for your time. My mum has a question and that is this - is there anything people can do to help lessen the noise she hears?
