Hello, I have had tinnitus going on for 5 years. I have had many colds, etc. and am aware of the spikes that these infections can cause. I am on day 6 of COVID-19 infection and my ears have been greatly affected this time. Both ears were plugged up until yesterday. When I blew my nose, my...

@racedy, hi there! My oral surgeon at the Mayo said that it’s about a 50/50 chance of a night guard helping with the clenching. The other 50% tend to clench down harder I guess. I haven’t tried Botox yet. Just physical therapy and steroid injections into my joint. I hope you get some relief!

What exercises did you do?

@Stillsearching What does your PT sound like? Is it a beep?

Off subject, but I have always wondered why some people who are deaf, do not have tinnitus. My brother in law is deaf, and does not have tinnitus. He also was not born deaf, it happened suddenly when he was a toddler. To this day, he rides motorbikes, etc. Has never protected his ears, and...

None is the above for me. I have severe TMJD (need surgery) and wearing a splint causes me to clench down harder on it, causing more pain. I realize I am probably the minority here, though and wish they helped!

Yes, I get this. For me, it seems to be neck related. If I moved my neck wrong it triggers it. At least I think. Sorry I am not a lot of help.

Hi all, I have not tested positive, as my state is not testing unless you’re a health care worker or admitted to the hospital. But I believe I also had Covid-19 and was told by my PCP to self isolate, as well as my family. My family traveled internationally late last month to a place with no...

He's 58, but he has had tinnitus for almost 30 years, I guess. I'm with you, much more sensitive. I will say even though my dad lives his life normally and doesn't change anything, he says he will be the first in line if there's ever a successful cure. :)

My dad. He has tinnitus, too and it’s been extremely helpful to have someone to talk to that ‘gets it’... although his tinnitus is on a whole other level than mine. There isn’t anything that he can’t hear his over, and how he stays so positive is beyond me. I’m thankful for him, and he’s my best...

I live where it’s extremely cold. It can get as low as -50 degrees Fahrenheit during our winters. In my experience my tinnitus spikes when I’m in the cold shivering. I believe my muscles being tense causes my spikes. Hopefully you’re will subside! Mine usually do.

Yes! We actually stored our regular grill away, ha. The ham is totally worth the wait, one year my husband and I had a ham cook-off (I cooked one via the oven and he smoked one and let all of our guests choose their favorite), naturally everyone chose the smoked ham. Prime rib and pork. Whats...

My family does! When I say my family, I mean mostly my husband. :) He's smoked a lot of fun stuff on the Traeger grill. We smoke everything... including our Thanksgiving turkeys and our Easter Ham.

Done.
