    Tinnitus (Nearly) Cured by Chiropractic Treatment

    Chiropractor has been helping me as well. Atlas misalignments are a real thing when it comes to tinnitus. People say "but the auditory nerve doesn't run through there." But there's the brain stem itself which can get squished. A good way to know if going to a chiropractor might help is if heat...

    Is My Tinnitus Caused by a Neck or C-Spine issue? Or Am I Just Going Crazy?

    Hey @Syb, I have the same symptoms. All the reasons why you said it applies to your neck are true for me. Especially if I lie on my left side, the left ear gets better and the right ear gets worse. And vice versa. I have a cervical misalignment that I've been getting worked on. Have you seen...

    I'd be signing up for euthenasia today if I could. Give me the juice. I'm ready.

    Severe Cervical Misalignment Caused My Tinnitus

    I got tinnitus in December after moving apartments. I lifted a bunch of heavy stuff myself. Originally I went to a physical therapist for three weeks and that didn't help at all. Then I checked out a chiropractor and he showed me I had a major rotational misalignment in my atlas. Like about 18...

    At My Wits' End with Somatic Tinnitus — Do I Continue with Wasted Treatment Attempts?

    Seems like you have an issue with the ear. But did you ever get X-rays on your neck by the chiropractor? Wondering what kind of misalignment you had, if any.

    On Behalf of My Mum Who Suffers from Tinnitus, What Advice Could I Give Her?

    Hearing aids might help. My therapist had hearing loss and she got hearing aids and when she wears them it greatly reduces her noise-induced tinnitus. I think it raises the floor for hearing - ears don't have to try so hard.

    Link Between Pulsatile Tinnitus and High Inflammation?

    For me, Advil helps. I got a neck injury to C1 and C2 from lifting heavy stuff. Muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories help. Been going to chiropractor for it. Maybe you could check with an upper cervical one - check alignment. Misalignment can cause tinnitus. Anti-inflammatories can reduce...

    Why Is My Tinnitus Reactive If It Isn't Hyperacusis?

    Have you checked out your cervical spine? Getting suppression from a hot shower makes me think muscles are being tight around damaged or out-of-alignment vertebrae. I have the same symptoms as you, and my C1 and C2 are out of alignment after lifting some heavy stuff. Being getting things...

    Big Tinnitus Spike in December After Moving Apartments

    Hey everyone, I've had tinnitus mildly since 2006. It never really bothered me. Back in December right after I moved apartments it quickly increased over the course of a couple days and got quite loud (no idea why). One weird thing about it though is that as long as I sleep well, I won't hear...
