Four assumptions he asks patients to drop.
From his January 2026 interview with Al Sharq.
A dizziness tablet, before any diagnosis.
It can blur the signs and stretch the illness out.
Tinnitus cannot be treated.
It is a symptom. It can be treated when the cause is known.
Dizziness comes from the middle ear.
Balance lives in the inner ear.
Hearing aids weaken the ear.
They do not.
