Seventy percent of those receiving tinnitus get it from noise. In an emergency room setting seventy percent did not get tinnitus from noise. For these individuals, some had earwax or used medications, but most had a physical condition. When a physical condition or injury is cause, tinnitus more...

from Rick Simpson's Facebook page today. Rick "controls" his tinnitus, it is not "cured" as such, he takes his oil to keep the symptoms at bay, his tinnitus was caused from the head injury he received in 1997. Rick cured his "cancer", the oil is usually a "cure" or "control" for most things.

Donny this is simply not true. Their trial criteria states "Diagnosed with somatic tinnitus resulting from head or neck injury." If they excluded people with somatic they would be excluding 70% percent or more of all tinnitus sufferers. Trial Info

Wanted to add, tinnitus has so many causes. What do you think caused the beep? Were there any factors like a head injury or exposure to loud sounds? Also the cause might be something simple like a Vitamin B12 defiency. Talk to a doctor and ask about getting Vitamin B12 shots/injections.

Welcome to the forum. It is not often easy to pin point to an exact cause of T. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including drug reaction or side-effects, ear or Eustachian tube infection, ear drum injury, fluid build-up feeling pressured, TMJ, high blood pressure or...

I thought that too, yet it started after a head MRI and has been growing louder since then. I suspect noise trauma. That 250 Hz is the worst. Even benzos barely allow me to function.

...seem like all problems, everything word that you mention, including that of the hearing complex stems from an existing spinal injury or head injury that happened in childhood. This would most likely be level 1 - not a major issue as you don't have vertigo. I would stop exercises. A...

@Jiri You appear to be young under 40, so you probably don't have any progressive degenerative diseases or conditions in your your spine from waist to the stem cell of your head. That's a plus. Not sure it you were somewhat inactive before you decided to do judo on that day. Either you had...

No one, even scientists, knows the exact mechanism of noxacusis (pain hyperacusis). The Type II neurons theory is, after all, just a theory and needs further investigation. We don't know if Dr. Shore's device helps pain hyperacusis but let's hope calming DCN also regulates Type II neurons firing.

Well that sounds scary. I didn't have any neck or head injury as a child as far as I remember? I have a small spiral injury from weightlifting 5 years ago, all good now pain-wise. The humming sound started at a 10/10 two months ago, and slowly faded over 4 hours. It did not return until 1 week...

Hi @capecrusader , I had a non-aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage in June and have had multiple crazy tones in my head ever since. It’s very challenging, and also not that uncommon for those who experience a brain injury. If you haven’t already, I suggest you check out behindthegray.com - it’s a...

From what I understand, based on the Norena article, TTTS (or middle ear issues more generally) can also lead to pain hyperacusis: The same thing in some more detail:

If your T is from a cold, then don't worry. The chances of it going away are higher. As long as your inner ear hair cells are good and you don't have any type of head injury, or noise induced Tinnitus, you are in a better position than most of us on this forum.

My ringing began in the 1990's following a head and back injury. I was diagnosed with bilateral vestibular hypo-function (BVH) IN 2006. Symptoms are dizziness, nausea, disequilibrium. Migraines ringing in ears and uneven hearing loss. The ringing does not stop ever. Any hope for me...

Any medications you think might have caused it? Do you have any head injury, cervical issues or TMD/TMJ?

Spinal fluid is most likely causing central oscillating along with injuries. Healing of anatomy discussed is of importance. Neck muscles and ligaments need to be loose. There's two ways to accomplish this. Emotional aspects- watch comedy or a happy movie - one for patients was Notting Hill -...

Welcome to the forum. It is not always easy to pin down to the exact cause of tinnitus. Yours may have started by acoustic trauma but there are many other possible causes. I list some below and see if you have any of that recently. As far as the reason for the tinnitus increase, there are many...

Thanks. This one is nothing to the first one that brought on my T, so I don't feel too worried about it. Didn't/couldn't go to the doctor than and still can't.

...also help those who do have another cause than NIHL, such as ototoxic medicine or infections. Danny Boy (infection) & ATEOS (ototoxic/head injury/infection) were one of those who reported benefit from Trobalt, a drug that is a precursor to Dr. Tzounopoulos' RL-81. I hope that it also works...

Hi @nurserae -- Yes, chronic neck issues have been a staple in my life since a serious head injury/whiplash at age 15. I just wrote a post on some of the things that have helped me at THIS LINK. -- Let me know if you have any questions. -- All the Best...

Yes. It could be a neck injury with nerve or artery compression or a c spine issue. MRI of head and neck would help verify as there could be any of many factors with involvement. With this hopefully an easy treatment plan can be established. MEM and sounds distortions can certainly be involved.

Hi Michael alm -- Sorry to hear how difficult your recent spike has been after so many years. Just for clarification, you're saying the distant chainsaw noise had nothing to do with your recent spike? If not, do you know what did cause the spike? -- Thanks.

I went to a Chiropractor and discovered my childhood injury to my neck through X rays is the probable cause of my deafness which led to tinnitus. I can't be fixed. Why? The injury is from my childhood. I fell from 5 feet head first, nearly broke my neck and was sewn back up to keep from...

...injury for example, but the noise is generated and sustained by the brain. I see that you have indicated that your tinnitus was caused by head injury and acoustic trauma. Mine was caused by acoustic trauma, by a very loud noise that was suddenly emitted through my headphones because of a...

As avid UFC and boxing fan I thought about that too. How about NFL players, the constant head banging. But I would imagine saying on the injury report "ears ringing" would not be seen as manly.

If you are still experiencing your symptoms, I would suggest that you see a specialist! After incurring a head injury, and waiting many months for the symptoms to go away, I saw an ENT doctor. This made a world of difference! It is important to have faith, but it is also important to take...

...hear human speech. The hearing loss was probably a consequence of acute viral inflammation. Possibly also as a consequence of a serious head injury. Fall during equestrian jumping training. I learned to lipread words and predict the sequence of questions, words, statements. I can't cope...

...I too believe T is a signal that something is not right. My T came after a badly contused lower back, broken thumb, slammed jaw and head injury. My ear started ringing 2 days later and has not stopped. Prior to accident i was very stressed/sleep deprived. All hearing tests/audiograms are...

Absolutely ZERO influence to my tinnitus. I have tinnitus in my right ear only from head injury. Was at a concert the other night for The Killers with dedibels easily reaching 120-130. 2 hour set. My tinnitus has actually improved or even become milder than before. Perhaps the loud noise...

Hi derpytia I got my tinnitus from a head injury,I play guitar and love it I either play quietly or pop some moldex ear plugs in and crank it up and feel the noise! But never give up on music because one day you may find its your only escape! If you need to talk am here !

How old is your injury? I have not heard about anyone doing intratympanic blood patch in Europe yet. Did you try the "six weeks of bed rest" protocol for PLF (keep your head elevated at all times, no bending over, no straining, etc)?

Sorry to hear about the neck injury, hope it’s not too serious? Does the chiropractor sessions reduce the T?

...relapse now. Possible factors leading up to my current relapse: Aunty died in jan/ stress around sorting out her estate Perimenopause Head injury/post concussion syndrome in July Dental issues - root canal recently Had been taking quercetin long term for histamine issues/head injury but...

I had an EEG, a brain MRI, and a hearing test where they also tested my inner ear function, not sure what that test was called. Kaiser will not order any more testing. I was told to live with it. I lost my hearing in my left ear as a child due to a head injury.

Wondering how you got on? I had a significant head injury last July. Wonder if this has anything to do with the relapse now. Is your tinnitus only in your ears?

...front door. And my parents were cozily tucked into the house where they can't hear me. If it stays like this I might have to skip taking the whole trash can down the driveway! Hopefully since I didn't wack my jaw with my head my T will stay "normal". Another stupid head injury to add on top!

...had surfaced by now. From two mentions (years apart) from you bending forward bringing on tinnitus seems to me to be key. A previous head injury that's affecting peripheral nerves or the facial nerve when bending forward. Eustachian tube is probably not cause as with Meniere's or MS. TMJ...

There is an article on "Havana syndrome" today in a Spanish newspaper. Here is the link in case some Spanish speaker is interested in reading it: https://www.abc.es/xlsemanal/a-fondo/sindrome-de-la-habana-salud-mental-estados-unidos-visados.html Basically it says the CIA, the US government and...

...Do you have a regular GP you could talk to? I had a pre existing hearing loss which my audiologist says my brain has latched onto when I had my head injury which is causing the tinnitus. How was your hearing before you were hit on the head? Hopefully you won't be in my shoes in 8 months time.

@PTsufferer, increased pressure from a slightly larger or smaller jugular vein can affect your ears, causing dizziness, tinnitus, pulsatile tinnitus and/or hearing loss. I have seen this on occasion. The right interior jugular vein is always slightly larger than the left. Did notations mention...

It's appears that months or years ago you had an injury to lower spine, head and neck from the gym. Since then, if you ever had back muscle spasms or back pain then this is the start of things. You may had incorrect side to side and frontal posture before, but an injury to the back can cause...

@weab00 Vertebral artery from injury such as from whiplash would relate to pulsatile tinnitus, but most likely one needs to have severe headaches. Discussion: It is presently considered a problem when there is mechanical compression during head rotation due to muscular and tendinous...

Yes, a reverse curve with added injury - muscle spasms placing pressure to the C spine could lead to somatic tinnitus. Almost always from very intense forward head motion. I would not get surgery - use other methods. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14689631 Happens easier when one already...

Ok huge RED FLAG right there. You need to leave your "partner" ASAP or better report him to local police authorities (Gendarmerie), and yes tinnitus can be STRESS induced, which is exactly what seems to be happening to you.

...When I said I hit my head, it was when I was a kid, like everyone else hits their head, I never went to the hospital for that or had a head injury (except when i fell when i was 3 and i hit my forehead and my eye). As for the increase in PT when I lower my head, it seems "normal" to me...

...temporary. It can be difficult to get some parents to make an ENT appointment. Some parents won't seek medical when their child has a head injury. Welcome to California. With kids, 90% experience no hearing loss. Some children do have coping problems and when various injuries are involved...

...evidenced by a conversation i had with a girl who had congenital hearing loss and t to begin with. Later in life she experienced a closed head injury, which caused her to develop profound hearing loss and her t vanished mysteriously. Whilst she cant hear, she can no longer hear her tinnitus...

...my head. My head is stuffed. I understand it can be caused as a result of a concussion, but the roaring didn't start until two weeks after the fall. Has anybody with these symptoms had a head injury? I saw a GP and he said nothing to help me. Also when people talk it loudly it hurts my ears.

Hi all, I was diagnosed with tinnitus in August 2020 following an episode of severe depression which resulted in me suffering a concussion injury. It's a high pitched sound, in both ears and has been constant since the event. In addition to this I've also started hearing like a 'whooshing'...

We have agreement with that - Levine and others for a longtime have discuss modulation. I once posted 80%, and someone posted back no way. So I had to provide a source - link. Maybe way back on this thread. What I'm questioning which I didn't word well, by saying "beyond all that" is that...

Welcome to the forum. There are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including by not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, inner ear infection, Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum injury, fluid build-up in...

I just checked exclusion criteria from tent-2a and i think what you might be referencing is the following exclusion: “Diagnosed with somatic tinnitus resulting from head or neck injury.” I didn’t see any other exclusion of somatic tinnitus. I do believe that shore’s device is being tested...

I had a PLF incurred by a head injury. I experienced a slew of symptoms and they were ever-changing. Migraines, pressure in head, moments of "spacing out," deafening tinnitus, all types of vertigo, etc. After speaking with my primary care physician, a neurologist, and my case manager (workers...

I had helmet on, I didn't had any head injury as far as I know. Hearing test is fine upto 8KHz. Only thing I suspect is earphones and anesthesia.

@Lisa88 any improvement in your T since the head injury? My situation is a little different but I am a goalie in hockey and the season is about to start but I am unsure whether I can play or not due to the fact that at some point I'm likely to get a shot to the mask.

Interesting. It does appear that this procedure has a high success rate for otalgia. It also seems that the side effects are not too bad. I will keep this in consideration for the future.

There's a lot more to it than just that. It's actually not the person that caused it that I'm most angry with. My injury was swept under the rug and I was even threaded by management to not talk about my injury or symptoms with other coworkers. Which hyperacusis really is a disability, one...

Mike.. sorry to hear about your 2nd accident. That's what I'm afraid of.. another head trauma and my T will spike. That's why I stay mostly home on weekends. My T has gone down especially after lumbar puncture. I only hear T at night when trying to sleep and in quite rooms... but that could...

So do you not have tinnitus now? I have had a similar experience as you before my ear problems. For many years if I shook my head quick back and forth like a wet dog, I would hear a slight sharp shaking noise in my head/ ear. It might have started when I was blasted many years ago in a HiFi...

...only work one way and be "stuck". The brain doesn't have preferences. Reversing the cause should reverse maladaptive plasticity just like mirror therapy treats maladaptive plasticity with phantom limb pain. Now if tinnitus is from a direct head injury, then yes treating the cochlea won't...
