All words like these do is confuse doctors / people even more. Setback is not an official medical term, either. The proper word to describe symptom exacerbations should be “flare up” as this IS a real medical term and is commonly used in other pain related conditions to describe a worsening in symptoms. Setback doesn’t even sound serious either. It’s confusing to anyone who tries to understand it

They are NOT medical doctors. They do NOT treat pain. This condition causes pain. Pain requires medications. Audiologists, which are not medical doctors, cannot prescribe medication. All they do is program hearing aids for people and do tinnitus counseling
