I am not vaccinated, never contracted COVID-19 and my problems started when I was locked at home for 9 months, without using headphones or other loud things. I have also never been to any concert before that and that's all basically.

I have never survived any noise damage. This is most likely not my cause.

Update. I suspect the cause of my tension headaches is the intense spasm of the muscles on my temples. The pain from temples fires into whole head from there. No idea how to fix that though. Not my priority however.

It sounds rather bizzare. Are you sure you do not have TMJ or something? That's more likely a potential cause.

Yes, only a bit though, assuming you have a lot of earwax inside. Technically, the tinnitus stays the same but because you will hear better, it will fade and it will feel more silent when in not totally quiet places. It is the same principle like hearing aids for tinnitus "masking" by...

IDK. When I am in complete silence and suddenly some loud noise happens (like when a plastic bottle pops) then my tensor tympani fire to the point it is very unpleasing, almost hurting. But when I am at some extremely loud place, like a concert, I do not have any problems with tensor tympani at...

Update. It is still there. Not sure if it got better. The thing is that I probably know the cause. Apart from tinnitus and this I have massive bilateral ear pain that is most likely due to a TMJ disorder. The pain started when my tinnitus started, but got worse and worse over the months...

An update. I was diagnosed with TMJ. Wearing TMJ splint for 3 weeks, so far the only symptom that got noticeably better is ear fullness.

Maybe if it is soft enough. Mine is so loud and so bad when I am in complete silence I feel like it is choking me. Like literally I feel like I am going to be suffocated by my tinnitus.

I wish I got no awards on Tinnitus talk and no reason to post there.

Is it possible to scan cervical spine for tinnitus? By some MRI or something?

Interesting how studies about covid vac are done on 30.000 people and tinnitus studies on like 15.

Sources say there is 200 causes of tinnitus. Is anywhere a complete list?

I think there is a surgery where the surgeon puts some isolation material between the nerve and the vessel. But it is dangerous though.
