You could go the route of a neurologist with extensive testing, or you could try a natural anti-inflammatory peptide (lots of clinical data from multiple researchers and academic institutions) - we're seeing great results with a variety of inflammatory illnesses and also with autoimmune disorders related to improper gene switching . Your genetic material can't be influenced per se, of course, but the covering of it CAN - that covering, the epigenome, is affected by everything from environmental toxins to genetically modified (GMO) foods/ingredients to diseases. So this natural peptide can work wonders but only if it's in a bioactive form which survives the digestive process. It's tied to so much healing as well as disease prevention, and epigenetics has been featured on Dr. Oz and in all the news magazines (such as "Time") so it's very well regarded and is seen as the big nutritional breakthrough of the century.
There's only one company in the US that has rights to it but it can be ordered on line, and you get access to a nutritional consultant for your questions. Since you are not in any immediate danger requiring extensive medical intervention, you might consider this other approach first. I can give you some links to more info if you want.
We've seen great results with tinnitus over the years, and that's before this peptide was isolated and concentrated in an even more effective form.
