    It will go back to the way it was. This has happened to me many times. It will return to the previous level...

    Do you have other symptoms apart from the tinnitus (hearing loss, fullness of the ears)?

      Has the possibility of Meniere's disease been mentioned?  What would the surgery be aiming at, based on what diagnosis?

      The tinnitus does not appear to be related to the mastoidectomy as the difference in years is too great.

      What do your doctors believe to be the cause of the tinnitus?

      I would not do surgery based on a "maybe".  There are too many gaps in their arguement, apparently.

      In my opinion, you need to clarify all the advantages, disadvantages and reasons for this specific surgery.  You do not want the symptoms to get worse.
