    So, What Are Your Favorite Songs or Bands at the Moment?

    I'm a extreme metal fan. And no, not Metallica or Iron Maiden (although they are good) but more screamo type stuff. Chelsea Grin and Crown the Empire are my favorites.

    Loud "Click" in Right Ear When I Swallow and Move Back of Mouth Muscles

    As the title says, I hear a VERY sharp, loud click when I swallow and move the back of my mouth muscles. It only happens to my right ear. Episodes of this start most mornings and most nights. Never really bothers me during the day. It almost sounds like my ears are popping almost like when you...

    Post Your Gaming PC Build-Specs with a Photo

    I think it's cool and relieving that there are gamers out there that are victims to a similar terrible disorder. Gaming is the one place where my mind is at ease and I don't worry or stress over my middle ear myoclonus and tinnitus :)

    Story Time

    Share How Your Day Is Usually Like for You?

    Wake up at 7 every morning and worry about my tinnitus and TMJ and its "clicking" and "ringing" symptoms. Eat and play video games and possibly hang out with a friend. I love to do stuff but tinnitus and TMJ are making it incredibly difficult to enjoy basic things. Take a shower at night and...

    Competitive Gamers w/ Tinnitus

    I have had tinnitus all my life and the one thing I do to keep my mind off of it is to play CS:GO and H1Z1 competitively . These games take lots of skill, reaction time, concentration, and knowledge. Are there any competitive gamers out there with Tinnitus?

    What Might Cause Ear Fluttering / Contracting? I'm Not Sure?

    I have TTS as well with TMJ and Tinnitus. I hate TTS so much and it controls my life (I have severe OCD and don't wanna get put on muscle relaxers or anti depressants) that I consider surgery or Botox. Should I just deal with the TMJ and get a splint to correctly align my jaw?
