Mine was a steady ringing and would fluctuate in loudness. i got to a point if i laid on my right side with my chin toward my chest that i could calm it. i would be driving down the road with 0 tinnitus and then when i would look hard too the right it would start a high pitch scream

My ortho is a neck specialist. He fused my c6-7 2 years ago and t stopped for 18 months. I go back in 3 weeks for him to do 3 above it since they are/we’re all bad from a neck injury 4 years ago. I was coming up the steps and hit my head on a rafter that knocked me out cold. Jammed my entire neck.

Fix the neck pain and the t will definitely go away. My t coincided with cervical issues. If you have t do you also have pain in and around you scalpula? If you do then most likely that t is caused by a known or unknown neck injury. It is possible your neck might not even hurt. If you suspect...

Yes most days i have no tinnitus. I had it mainly on my left side and interesting enough my spine was pressing up against my spinal cord on my right side. I am still believing my case was my neck.

Yea it is my 2 year anniversary here. I will have my 1 year check up for my neck surgery in a month or so. I am doing really good with that. It relieved all my neck and back pain once i got healed up. T has either been gone that whole time or some days i hear it a little but for the most...

at the time my Flexeril made my T much worse. Over the past couple months i have been home. Not only did i have my neck operated on i was also in Seattle 5 weeks ago to fix ongoing issues from prostate cancer i had removed 6 years ago. Still c free but there are always issues that crop up...

It came on one day has hight pitch. I can hear nothing over 10k in left ear. Once it started it never stopped in over 2 years. Never hissed or any other sound.

Yes it might be a good route to explore. I had ct and ex-rays done. I got to review them with the dr during a pre-op visit. While he was looking at my 5/6 neck issue i was looking behind the ear. There is a massive amount of nerves, veins and so forth in that area. I think that when i lay...

My Dr is a orthopedic surgeon here in Montana. The surgery i had done was as an outpatient. My biggest issue was my esophagus was out of wack for 3 weeks. choked on a lot of food, but nothing really painful. I did a lot of research on this dr since he is new to the area, but he was very very...

My sound was just high pitch ringing. I discovered it by accident. I noticed on night that if I lay one way it was louder so i started to experiment. One thing that has been steady was neck pain and ear ringing. I still believe it is a neck issue but the disk I had replaced obviously took...

my issue started across my shoulder blades. i did have some numbness down my arms and funny bone sometimes would flare up. Was dealing with a disk that was basically gone and had bone spurs facing my spinal cord so they took it out completely. Surgery and recovery were not too bad but still...

I had surgery 6 weeks ago to replace my disk in c5/6. My T did not go away 100% but it is greatly diminished. In fact i only hear it when i lay on my right side. I still think my T is neck related but might just be more involved then one disk. I do know i have a second disk issue but less...

Thanks for the update eric. I will try that to see. I have been getting blocks in my neck for the past month or so. Last week i was given one into the nerve root at c6/7. I was great for the 4 hours then it wore off. I am scheduled to have ACDF surgery next week to replace a failed disk...

I took 2 doses of muscle relaxers yesterday and by early evening my T had all but disappeared. I am hopeful i am on the right track. It did make me very tired by the evening but i can deal with that for now. I had a cervical mri yesterday and took the day off work to just lay around and...

Today i went to dr and started getting my neck looked after. I was given 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine to get things calmed down. My dr said i could take them long term if they helped the T. I have a MRI in the morning and then off to see a neurosurgeon soon. I will keep you posted on the...
