    Hello, I'm not great to be honest. The problem is definitely my jaw, I've now tried 2 different splints and each one makes the issue unbearable. So, I am meeting with a surgeon on Monday to discuss options. What are your symptoms? I don't think I have a mechanical TMJ issue, but I think I have...

    Sorry if I'm not seeing your previous comments, I'm useless at this site. Did you try an occlusal splint?

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    Hey guys, another update from me. The TMJ physio just made things worse, but I realised something muscular was going on. I went to a prolozone centre (a different form of prolothery) and the lovely doctor just confirmed that my C1 atlas is still very misaligned dispite about 3 months with my...

    Sleeping on Back with Chin Tucked in — Damaging?

    @Coyotesheaven, I have very similar symptoms to you. I realise this post is quite old. Did it get any better for you?

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    Hello, An update for everyone. For the last few treatments I had with the chiropractor, my jaw became very irritable and with it I had horrendous tinnitus spikes which lasted days up to a week. I realised that once my jaw calmed down, so did my tinnitus. So I have started seeing a TMJ...

    After my 6th chiro appt I had bad TMJ pain and my tinnitus went louder. The pain has started to subside and the tinnitus too. I think its all part of the healing process. My chiro said as the muscles start to respond they could temporarily put pressure on other areas. I don't want to tell you to...

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    Hi everyone, thought I'd give you an update. I'm happy to report that I've had a much better week. Following the positive treatment I had a few weeks ago that improved my symptoms, they crept back up again in the following days which was a shame. I spoke the the chiropractor and he said that's...

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    And that's NUCCA, @NYCGuy? The company that took over it in London use a much more forceful method. I definitely felt the quick push which then followed 15 minutes of vertigo. My appt the other day changed my tinnitus. I felt my bone move in my neck and the chiropractor commented that it was...

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    @NYCGuy, @Wrfortiscue, I am seeing the company that took over NUCCA in London. I did a lot of reading around the science of it and it does make complete sense. My tinnitus comes and goes depending on my sleep position. Rarely stays the same which makes habituation incredibly hard. Since I...

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    @Sayeed, have you looked into upper cervical chiropractors? After you posted here I noticed that we shared a lot of the same symptoms and to me it does sound like early Meniere's. I have narrowed my tinnitus down to my neck, I believe I have a pinched nerve. This is what a lot of people with...

    Possible Cochlear Hydrops — Weird Symptoms

    I'm no doctor but I think it means there's inflammation in your ear. Either outer, middle or inner ear. Mine seems to be inner ear related and I also feel a sensation of liquid moving around at times, so that can cause a tickly sensation as well. I would recommend getting your ears checked so...

    Possible Cochlear Hydrops — Weird Symptoms

    I believe I might have cochlear hydrops too. Do any of you guys get an intense itch in the affected ear/ears?

    Sleeping Positions Affect My Tinnitus

    Just to update everyone. I started seeing an upper cervical chiropractor a couple of weeks ago and got my first treatment two days ago. The X-rays found a misalignment on the left side of my neck (my tinnitus side). He realigned my neck two days ago by pushing it quickly (it made an awful...
