Hi Tennrltr, It looks like your T was the result of an injury of some kind? What has been a bigger obstacle to getting back to work, the tinnitus, or the injury itself? You say that you only have the tinnitus one day out of several; if that's the case, then why has it held you from going back...

Head and ear are similar. Same area and I can still have had a concussion and not know it. Either way if my ringing is now 30-40 DB is that a good sign it will for sure fade to something quieter?

I always tell people here that massage therapists and physiotherapists use a lot more proven scientific things, but chiropractory doesn't have much science backing it up and be wary and is bordering on quackery. Someone I knew's GF had a stroke after a session and got a 50-100k settlement...

@Nate H Some thoughts: If you place -Pulsatile Tinnitus TMJ Jaw - into interest search, most professionals say that TMJ/Jaw alone can cause tinnitus, but not usually pulsatile tinnitus without the cradle interaction of injury/whiplash of neck and jaw. They, including dentists will mention the...

I’m super worried... they said it might be labrynthitis since I had a cold when the symptoms first began. I just want it to go away...

Wanted to post this here since it shows that stimulation of certain parts of the brain def reduces tinnitus!

Isn't this similar to what the stimulation devices are doing? Further proves that there is something here. Thanks for the post!

@grate_biff It's high pitched, like whistle or tone, in my right ear. It feels like it's inside my head. I think it's from a head injury I sustained back in January. He didn't check in the higher frequencies as he didn't believe it was necessary. @glynis Unfortunately my audiologist...

I can totally relate to this post. Even my T started after I banged my head against a wall 3 years ago. I have tried what not since then to find some relief. Even been to a chiropractor who told me my atlas (C1,C2) was misaligned 20 degrees and mentioned subluxation of my atlas bone in neck. He...

@HollowZer0 To connect your oscillating pulsating tone to your neck tightness pain could be from forward head bending or head down on a pillow. An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which isn't in the ear, but could be in the neck would be perceived as an oscillating whooshing sound in the ear...

If I tap the back of my neck at the top of my spine, I get the same sensation down my back/up my neck as when I tap my upper jaw. Is it possible the problem isn't even in my ear, but in my neck?? Or is this normal for H. I also did gymnastics in college and fell on my head/neck a couple times...

That is a good attitude. If your T can be ignored and that you have accepted the new normal, you are on the right path. As far as the reason for the T increase, it can be many things. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including by not limited to: Drug reaction or...

@Mathew Gould @threefirefour Since ringing is less from turning neck either to left or right, means the upper superascapular region (muscles and nerves attached to the shoulders) are involved with ringing when not turning neck or head. Often the C1 C2 is also misaligned causing jaw...

Thanks Greg, you know your stuff lol. There were a ton more images but I dropped it off at the ENT. He mentioned if the MRI cleared, I would be a good candidate for hearing aids based on my hearing loss. So I’ve been having back of neck/head left side headaches for almost two years now. That’s...

I started having Bilateral High Pitched Pulsatile Tinnitus 1/2019 Did endure a head injury weeks before. Nothing ridiculous that required going to a hospital. But just noting the timing. Hit in the forehead and nose, felt like my nose was hit pretty hard. Since then I have also had Post Nasal...

There's lots of us who don't know how we got our tinnitus. One theory is that it has to do with oxidative stress, which can cause chronic hyperactivity of the neurons. So if you've been stressed out lately, that could be a cause. Also ototoxic meds (which is most meds), recreational drugs...

I have right-ear pure tones and static. Pretty sure it was a result of a blow to the back of my head on the right side. I'm currently resting after having my C1 vertebrae adjusted by an Atlas Orthogonal specialist. Tinnitus is not gone after 12 days, but my energy improved. Plus the doctor...

Wow what a story! Thank you for trying to help. Sorry about the outcome. Are you able to manage your T?

I'm glad your hyperacusis has eased up.:huganimation: I feel you one those ear muffs. I like them more than plugs, except for the severe neck aches!! :confused::confused: I feel you. I just hoed the garden a bit and my neck got so ticked off! :meh:

Wow, thank you for answering. I never would have suspected that earmuffs can cause this much trouble. Hope you will be better soon. But I'm so glad that your hyperacusis improved that much. It's awesome news!

Many possibilities - Possible nerve roots or peripheral nerve pressuring the neuromuscular junction. This can associate to changes in blood pressure from anxiety or from bad neck posture/forward head bending that may include the sternocleidomastoids. Nerve roots could be occipital nerves trauma...

...or miss in cases. Just luck sometimes. Though when I asked the physical therapist he said it seems more hit if the TMJ is related to a head injury or neck. I do believe a lot of it is muscles. That either press on a nerve or the Eustachian tubes. I know my TMJ has given me severe ETD with...

Firstly, thanks for chiming in Greg. You have so much to deal with yourself, but you always offer so much help to others. You are greatly appreciated. I’d say it’s been about 6 months at least, but definitely after developing tinnitus, that I’ve noticed pulsatile tinnitus when laying down at...

...sounds but not a bar. My hyperacusis has all but gone away but sometimes I feel drained going somewhere loud. I did suffer a head injury a year ago but I’m starting think it’s my hearing that is causing me to feel this way because I don’t have any measurable defects. Just anxiety in...

Hello Gman45, I started developing tinnitus after a severe neck injury on 6/21/21. My first 5 months is almost exactly like yours in terms of fight or flight response, mental exhaustion, yearning for silence, hyperacusis. I'm 28 years old and been trying to cope with tinnitus too. My tinnitus...

It may be that your tinnitus developed by injury to your C spine causing unbalance such as from hitting your head. So with that and any bad posture, stretching affected your C spine more, which may have also stressed something else. Most likely with influence to nerves. Stand straight in front...

Revolrex33 Most T sufferers can do similar things; it is very common. For instance, I can press on my right jaw bone or turn my head to the left and effect a very strong ringing sound. I believe it has to do with eustachian tube manipulation wherein a stressing or staining of the eustachian...

@Tinker Bell Thank you very much for your kind answers. I did a survey here. About one third of all participants were sure that their tinnitus was caused by noise. Another third were certain that noise had no influence. But at least a third were unsure. Typical case: a young man who also shook...

Hi again @AliasM - Thanks for your hugs. I'll tag @FGG as she's been a hugger too. If your tinnitus started after exercises, then cause is most likely from physical anatomy. Hypertension - raising blood pressure is also possible. Not from this - a force movement as you have range of motion -...

I hope someone smarter than me could answer your post, but to me it sounds like you got Post Traumatic Tinnitus (concussion, mild brain damage, TBI), which is caused by a physical injury to the head or neck. There is a chance it's still temporary as your jaw is healing, but equal chance is that...

Welcome to the forum. Drug interaction or withdrawal symptoms are only one possible reason for T. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear-wax removal suction, ear or...

I also don't care about tinnitus.. be IT cause by TMJD or neck injury or head injury, really don't care, but hearing loss is the worst... And I have that one so... My biggest problem is hearing damage and tinnitus only bothers me bc IT reminds me of hearing damage... I also have ear fullness and...

For me, the T started right after impact -- at the scene of the accident. My head was rattled, and I heard this persistent "shhhhhhhh" sound. I also had a headache right away, so I thought my bell had been rung from being whipped. I was hoping that it would go away with a few days sleep, but...

I am going through a similar situation. I was physically assaulted, punched in the side of the face, jaw, head etc. I think the best thing to do is focus on concussion recovery as recommended by some to me. - No ear buds - No loud environments (movie theatres, bars, clubs, parties etc.) - No...

Welcome to the forum. Since I am not a doctor, I can't give medical opinion on your specific case. Perhaps you contact the doctors at the Doctor's Corner on TT to see if they have any opinion. If not, since two of your doctors said it was related to ETD, then perhaps they know something and if...

To clarify Greg, is this a list of possible physical causes beyond hearing loss?

@Jerad, five reasons with tinnitus. 1. Occipital nerves, the nerves that run through the scalp, are injured or inflamed. This can cause pulsating, throbbing, zaps or shock-like just behind the ears where it can feel like it is coming from the ears. Possible causes of irritation or injury to...

@MRItechssuck Many of my conditions have been influenced by age and life style. Tinnitus ( many types) can associate to many body functions. One problem can lead to another that can cause or influence tinnitus. It's impossible for each one to examine all the possibilities within their bio...

Welcome to the forum. For some people, T can be traced to a cause. But for many, it just seems to come from no where, or from a combination of causes. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs...

@Greg Sacramento Thanks for the reply. I injured my rib attempting to break some wood. I stepped on a piece with one foot, bent over, and pulled up on the other end of the piece. I felt a popping in my ribs. Hurt like hell but I recovered in a couple of weeks. I had no injury to my spine, neck...

Yes I agree, that’s a big possibility. I will be scheduling the X-ray soon with the new chiropractor. I do think when they did the CT they looked at neck arteries and all of that. I’ll check out the report to make sure. I will continue to work on my posture. I have been trying slowly, but I’ve...

How about the sound of someone using a chainsaw down the street?

@Fally Hit on my link above your post and continue to 'Dear Mark'. Read all 4 blogs. You may be doing more than just clenching. You may be twisting your jaw to one side to get it locked. There are several conditions (I have articles) that can be involved and most relate to dental - dental...

Welcome to the forum. I recall a success story by a member from Beijing who seems to have his T caused by a head injury. I don't know if he is active anymore, but you can message him via conversation so see if he is willing to help answer some of your question. You can read his following success...

Yeah but what I am saying is the noise from the MRI wasn't an issue for me. With ear plugs in it wasn't uncomfortably loud.

When tinnitus is unilateral it could be indicative of a more serious condition so the MRI has to be done to rule out underlying causes like acoustic neuroma. It's the first thing an ENT will do if you present with unilateral tinnitus - @maltese might have bilateral tinnitus though, in which case...

...as I had a concussion around that time (sensations appeared before the concussion) and I was afraid of some lasting consequences of said head injury. The feeling never came back to my fingers, my chest has this "electric current burning/tickling" sensation from time to time. I hope it's...

Welcome to the forum. It seems that head trauma or head injury has been cited as a cause for tinnitus. If there is not enough response here in the Introduction area, you can try to post about it on the main support forum. You can also try to do a search on 'head trauma' on all prior discussions...

Agreed, especially my case since my tinnitus does not appear to be from noise trauma. If taking Clonazepam has shown a reduction in tinnitus for me (despite causing a huge spike later) does anyone think that is a sign that this drug could potentially be effective as well?
