Can Psoriasis In The Ears Affect Hearing?
So I not only have tinnitus and have had it for many years but I also have psoriasis in both my ears. My hearing is getting worse and the ringing in my ears is almost unbearable. The cost for hearing aids that they want me to get is totally out of my reach and I am at a loss as to what I should do
