My left ear is noisy as hell. It seems that there is still pain in my left Eustachian tube when doing valsalva maneuver or using EarPopper. Sep 7, 2024 at 5:54 PM

      There is quite a bit of out of network money involved to have a left jaw replaced but if my noise goes away it’s worth it.

      I think I went insane today. I’m considering TMJ prosthetic surgery but I don’t want to regret it.

      Anyone here that has an advanced degenerative jaw that could be causing their tinnitus?

        My jaw clicks like hell when I chew. I cannot close my mouth with all teeth aligned.

      I took too much Lyrica last night. I have nasty static mainly in left ear. I’m afraid It might be chronic condition the rest of my life .

      Airplane barotrauma in left ear years ago could have damaged my inner ear. My left eardrum was 2/3rds full of fluid.

      Lyrica seemed to help my feet numbness a lot. I was feeling so weird mentally on Prednisone. I don’t know if anyone here has TMJ disorder?

      After taking 4mg Prednisone for 5 days I’ve had static noises in my head. It has settled back to my left ear again.

      I probably need a left prosthetic jaw. Life is too short to live with this loud noise. It takes several months to get prosthetic made.

      I think I’ll see if the TMJ Dentist that prescribed Prednisone will line me up to get a steroid injection in my left jaw.

      Static in my head today that isn’t pleasant. I was doing okay last night. I never know what I’ll wake up with.

        Is it ever pleasant? I guess at times when it is really quiet I was trying to tell that lie myself.

        @gameover, I thought I was getting better with the oral prednisone. I may have a different situation than you because of my left jaw damage. Unliveable noise. Mayo Rochester surgeon didn’t think it was related to my jaw but more renowned surgeon in Arkansas thought it was. It still could be ear damage I suppose. I hope we both get better somehow regardless of the cause.

        @just1morething when you say static in your head is it in your ears and head?

      I was prescribed 2mg tablets of Prednisone twice a day for 5 days to see if my tinnitus would get better relating to left jaw inflammation.

        2mg twice a day. It really helped my aches and pains. Dentist didn’t charge anything for appointment.

      Napping is disastrous for my tinnitus when I awaken. It seems quite a bit better when wearing my Bi-Pap mask.

        I've noticed naps are horrible for my T. I always wake up with more sensitivity and reactive T. I avoid them completely

        @Nadia, sorry you have the same dilemma as I do. I have severe sleep apnea they say, 61 apneas an hour, so I try to make sure I use my Bi-Pap machine every night. Sleep apnea is hard on your body organs and could exasperate your tinnitus.

      Noise is nasty again. I’m going see a TMJ dentist next week regarding Botox injections to the masseter muscles. etc.

      Back to the noisy head today. I was so happy yesterday. Seems to be more on my right side today.

      I’m doing reasonable today. I used my mandibular advancer while sleeping. Started out rough this morning then put in Widex Moment.

      The noise is my left ear is insanely loud. I need to get my left TMJ surgery scheduled.

      I wish I could shut off both my static tinnitus and considerable pain. I ate 2 fast acting Tylenol capsules. See what happens.

      I want a quiet head again. I would have never thought such a condition was possible.

      I’m hoping a left TMJ prosthetic will fix the noise in my left ear. My left TMJ is bone on bone.

      I had static yesterday and today I have high pitched noise. I don’t know which is worse.

      Last night I was doing good and then I woke up this morning with bad head noise. It’s still bad.

        Can relate.. first thing i check in the morning is how are my t levels.. i do have hope that the further away from acoustic trauma.. the better.. and a good night's rest seems to be the best thing i can do for myself. Plenty of rest. Sadly the t is still there every morning, but what else can i do than give it time

      Primarily left ear static is brutal to wake up to. I’ll try my EarPopper again to see if my left jaw hurts.

      I might have to accept that I have permanent damage to both of my ears from noise exposure and airplane barotrauma. Left ear is worse.

      I fell asleep this evening and woke up with left ear static instead of swirling hissing noise in my head.

      I’m almost desperate enough to try Lenire. I have swirling hissing in my head.

        From the feedback thread here, I wouldn't have any confidence in it.

        But there is some people that don’t report back that have used Lenire so you don’t know. It could be my left jaw but that’s a major surgery.

        It seems like a big gamble. I guess the best you can do is go by the feedback that exists and figure it's at least somewhat representative of the wider user base. Then go from there.

      The noise in my left ear is horrible. The last TMJ surgeon thought it was caused by my advanced left jaw degeneration.
