Are you referring to me?

Glad that you get more calm by reading posts on this site. If you need more support, you can also post on the Support forum on the main page. The cause of tinnitus is some times elusive to pin down as not all T comes from loud noise exposure. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate...

Welcome to the forum. It does seem to be TMJ related from your description. But there are many other 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 or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum...

Hi @Omid Rahmani! I am so sorry to hear of your suffering - I've learned like you that life is often not fair. If the tinnitus was caused by a head/neck injury, you might want to try an upper cervical chiropractor. They will take x-rays of your neck and see if the atlas vertebra has shifted...

...that is. Listen... tinnitus depends on many factors - incl. the frequency, centralization in the head (as opposed to the ears), etiology (head injury vs. noise), pulsatile/non-pulsatile, as well as the psychological component. 11 dbSL isn't catastrophic tinnitus (= Dr. Nagler's tinnitus...

Interesting. My T started 6 weeks after the nerve injury in my head and about a week after I had several MRIs in a row. H started several months after my T as well.

Have you taken the COVID-19 vaccine?

...intrusive, but I am also a lot more anxious (perimenopause). This year has been stressful. Loss of my aunty, handling her affairs, a head injury, root canal, loss of my job due to mandates here, a septic knee bursa - required treatment with a dose of IV Cefazolin and a weeks worth of...

Hi @hopefuldede, thank you for your response :) The only reason I think this could possibly be my situation with the higher frequency hearing loss in my right ear is that there is a distinct volume difference in the hearing ability starting at those frequencies. My right ear cannot hear anything...

...does not happen immediately after a neck injury. Both neck and jaw trauma can happen at the same time when the head is jolted or from head injury. Muscles spasms of neck often have a place. Clenching can happen from stress and sometimes due to an added injury to neck or head. Severe bone...

Michael has included some of the common causes of tinnitus. Here is a longer list of causes which may include some of the causes mentioned above. These causes, single or combined, can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including by not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs...

Its a sign!!!!!! Lol jk but you never know... Well something switched it off atleast.. Which means it can be switched offff!!!! But yeah dont go bumpin your head now for fun hah

I fell and bruised my right jaw/head badly a few months ago. The jaw more so than the head where i was unable to eat much the next several days. I ended up with tinnitus in my right ear that is constant. Flexeril gave me some minor relief of late. I am not sure if a jaw injury could jumpstart...

@Jiri My judgement with this subject is only in the area of sound-induced ear pain or discomfort (aural fullness) due to temporomandibular and cervical disorders. This includes head, neck or jaw injury. This is medical related and not just limited to the usual discussions of hyperacusis and...

Whether intentional or not, your post sounds like you are scolding @AliasM. I am not sure that is helpful.

May I ask whether you had reactive tinnitus e.g. tinnitus which spikes easily from noise, and whether this reactivity e.g. the ease of spiking has faded in line with your hyperacusis?

The only thing I recall, is the two or three days were extremely stressful for me and my family. I'll not go into details, but needless to say, probably the most stress I've experienced in my life. Although the headaches began after the tinnitus. Really interesting stuff about the vagus nerve...

...type problem (amplification due to loss in specific areas). Even with noise induced hyperacusis and not something like whiplash or a head injury, there could be other things driving it such as an overactive Tensor Tympani muscle. Treatment for cochlear/sound induced hyperacusis: 2030. The...

Is your hearing loss connected to BVH? Perhaps if you tried to treat that it would help with tinnitus.

Hi Mark- I never had T until my head injury. It came on 2 days after my concussion. It's been changing frequencies. At first it was really loud and fortunately of late it's been getting slightly better. I hope for it to completely fade however I don't know the best treatment if it is fluid...

@Greg Sacramento do you believe in these posture devices? https://www.amazon.com/Corrector-Clavicle-Adjustable-Straightener-Providing/dp/B07L41CV8B/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3ZXVQE2TF6K3&dchild=1&keywords=posture+brace+for+neck+and+shoulders&qid=1590279815&sprefix=posture+%2Caps%2C963&sr=8-6

Extreme hyperacusis has forced me to wear muffs for months (day and night). It puts a lot of pressure on the neck and head which led to severe cramps & tension. My head has been locked into one position for a very long time. Apparently, it makes the neck susceptible to injury and even things...

...True. Dural arteriovenous fistula usually develops later in life - at 60 years of age, and one's eyes are usually red. Cause can be - head injury, heart, infection, vein or artery blockage and intracranial hypertension. Feeling the location of BRUT - blood flow can be difficult. Some get an...

It's been a long time since I looked at my chart. I recall 10 and 12k mHz being over 90% loss. Conversation levels something like 35-40% loss. 3k dollars for hearing aids I don't use much anymore. (Recruitment is making up for some missing F's and S's?) I have yet to learn about audiology. I've...

@threefirefour So true. Forward head posture for somatic tinnitus is listed in many professional articles. A bend forward neck from improper posture lifting, bending, dental procedure, accident with head trauma, muscle spasms and being under stress are all reasons for getting somatic tinnitus...

...maybe 3, 4 minutes where I didn't notice it, but then right back to it. My question is, is this most likely something permanent, or can a head injury caused tinnitus go away? I've spent hours looking on Google and have found absolutely zero reliable answers and the ER doc was unfortunately...

...over 2.5 times, landed up side down, and then the woman's car landed on top of our car and then our roof caved in. Ouch! I had a TBI head injury, certainly neck stress/strain, but no specific neck injury. Lucky to be alive actually. About 37 years ago, when I was 16 growing up in the...

...treatments. Is there a way to break that info down somehow so you could see, for example, most of the people who responded well to steroids got tinnitus from noise but not from some other cause. Or most people who didn't respond to Ginkgo, for example, got tinnitus as a result of a head injury.

Wasnt Wasn't ATEOS's T noise induced,or was his onset random?I remember him talking about waking up with a fullness in his ears and then T and that's exactly how mine started only to be worsened by noise.

...at this tinnitus, including LLLT, Trobalt and stem cells. His tinnitus wasn't noise induced, apparently. His profile suggests medications/head injury. @undecided's is story is more compelling, with a major reduction in tinnitus (after a few years of having it), but the cause for his...

...I've had tinnitus since I was a kid, but just over the past few years has it begun to really interfere with my life. I had a serious head injury in 8th grade, (roughly 5 years ago), which may be to blame. Immediately after the injury, I began having difficulties with my speech (stammering and...

I met the researcher (Dr. Maison) earlier this year, a few months after my acoustic trauma. Based on what I understood, he was saying that the nerve damage can happen alone in response to loud sound, as if the nerve connections themselves cannot withstand the force of high sounds levels. That's...

Funny that you say that because when I swallow I can feel that my ears are semi-filled. They were never like that before, it's like everything shifted in my head/face a few millimeters... I never hurt my ears though, but maybe something to do with the nerves??

Yeah, I think people suspect noise when it is not the cause, because they hear a sound. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) alone can cause tinnitus. Your auditory system includes nerves that extend into your brain. You may have suffered a concussion and not even know it. Tinnitus is just one symptom...

But I didn't take any meds :( *sigh*

I had mentioned several times over the last year or so within ear protection threads that heavy noise blocking headphones are not advised for those with certain physical conditions. This would be for those with a problem within the neck, face or jaw. Included would be a straight neck - loss of...

...you may have. Any discomfort anyplace from shoulders up - eyes, jaw, nose, neck, muscles, face, mouth, ears. Have you ever had a neck or head injury. Do you have good posture. Do you clench your teeth. How is your dental. Are you young, middle age or older. For coping there's many here that...

A virus can contribute, but no doctor can diagnose without complete medical history including injuries, dental, white blood cell count - CBC with differential, MRIs or CT. Other tests may include immunoglobulins, serum, electrophoresis, tumor neurosis factor, monocytes, mast cell, eosinophils...

I think you shoud reduce activity as much as you can for a couple of weeks. Do not bend over, do not lift anything heavy, avoid coffee and salt, and take a mild diuretic like Dandellion root tea 2-3 times a day to reduce head pressure. I am not saying you have intracranial hypertension (if you...

Thanks @Greg Sacramento. The local pain management clinic will do the auriculotemporal nerve block. I had nerve blocks in my neck to see if they helped my tinnitus. I have the grade 5 internal derangement in my left TMJ. An oral facial pain management specialist brought up that injection to...

Welcome to the forum. As far as the reason for the T or its spike, 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...

I’m dealing with hyperacusis right now, have had it for about 2.5 years after a serious noise injury. Keep having setbacks right when it feels like I’ve gotten over the hump. The fact that you are able to play acoustic drums every day at this point seems incredible, I’d never touch a drum set...

Yes i had t from a concussion. Delayed onset is very typical in those cases. Head traumas are very complex injuries. There is a lot going on when you hit your head. With mild head traumas (no visible brain injury) it goes away in most cases. But if not it is worth getting a full checkup...

In the original message, the OP mentions a head wound and a concussion as the cause for his/her t. I quote: If the original wound is getting better maybe the tinnitus will too. I am obviously not 100% sure it's all going to be peachy soon but that's my reasoning. She doesn't mention any hair...

They haven't said otherwise. They did have an exclusion criteria in their trials that stated that you couldn't have somatic tinnitus from a head or neck injury. Somatic tinnitus wasn't per say an exclusion criteria. If I remember the numbers correct most people with tinnitus have somatic...

Welcome to the forum.

I was stuck with a new bad employer and a stressful job for weeks before my head injury. Not sure if I have a physical cause or stress induced T. Though my GP told me that my concussion could have been a trigger for T after years of severe depression and anxiety. My guess would be that it's...

Welcome to the forum Laurie. Tinnitus can be caused by many things. MS is not a common cause but it has been known on rare occasion to trigger tinnitus. Here is a link that talk about MS and tinnitus. https://www.verywell.com/hearing-problems-and-multiple-sclerosis-2440785 Since MS rarely...

...at night when i lay down to rest i hear fizzing/hissing with occasional squeals. Still amplifies with sound yet not as much. My Tinnitus started after a head injury. Normal hearing yet struggled through 4 difficult months. Wondering if any others have seen changes in there Tinnitus from onset?

Hi Emma, What do you think caused your tinnitus ? I am looking into upper cervical problems for mine ,although not sure because of noise exposure too.

Welcome to the forum. Hearing loss and/or noise exposure is only one of many possible causes to trigger or aggravate existing tinnitus. This can include but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum...

I can relate to those with TMJ and clenching. My TMJ started with a neck injury from having mouth open for too long during dental surgery complicated by not having my neck relaxed onto a head rest. Added to that is cranial nerve and atlantoaxial involvement. One of my dentist who naturally...

...of "head noise" in a silent setting. It may also be that you really do have tinnitus (since childhood) due to e.g. ear infections, head injury, or a childhood disease. But since then, you have become perfectly habituated (due to onset very early on). Either way, you should forget about what...
