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...

That wouldn't be a problem for you. Vertebral artery dissection from injury such as from whiplash would likely cause severe headaches and would relate to pulsatile tinnitus. Can you describe your range of motion exercise, because so much needs to taken into consideration with also having...

Have you had any close calls/bullets that you had miraculously dodged? Earlier this week, I slipped on my concrete driveway and fell backwards. I had instinctively moved my arms in such a way that I landed on my elbow and ripped my jacket. I came very close to hitting my head against concrete...

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'...

It's most likely your neck and posture causing your problem - arteries of back side of neck that pump blood. With that often lymph fluids, nasal fluids and fluids from ETD are also involved. It appears that you had a neck injury at some point, then neck muscle spasms from lifting head in a lying...

...started. I’ve been to several doctors and an ENT, who found no hearing loss or earwax etc. It has been about 2 months, and it seems to have faded from the onset. I was wondering if anyone has contracted tinnitus after a head injury like myself and what the odds of it going away are? Thanks!

@ShellyW Hi Shelly. It seem like it's your spinal accessory nerve that passes thru the trapezius and sternomastoid muscles which allows the head to tilt and rotate. Along with injury to the seventh cranial nerve that innervates the stapedius muscle in the middle ear. It most likely...

Maithe, what are the antibiotics you were given? I am hoping it is not cipro. There are many causes of t from head injury to medications to ear wax build up to tmj to neck injuries, to high blood pressure to infection to noise exposure. Or have you just been through a traumatic event? Have you...

@Greg Sacramento I have been reading with interest your reply to OP. I have the same symptoms i.e. increase/decrease in tinnitus depending on head situation (mainly lying in bed). You asked OP if they remembered injuring collarbone so I wanted to ask whether injury to rotator cuff could also...

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?

Holy cow! Hope your doing alright buddy. I hit my head 16 months ago and my life changed forever. I am merely existing and not living due to my head injury. Even mild ones change you forever. I hope you didn't have to face any of the troubles

Hi; I want to thank everyone for the responses and to make a clarification. I had a head injury, not exposure to chainsaw noise. Thanks for the suggestions for the various possible cures, I'll look into them and share them with my doctor. I'm not sure how much she does or doesn't know about...

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...

Hi I'm new to this site an wondered if anyone can help. My tinnitus started the day after a head injury which left me with 6 staples in my head and concussion. I've been suffering from vertigo and low frequency tinnitus for about 8 months now and it's driving me crazy. Audiology have been great...

...I don't hear it but when its quiet and I listen for it I can. Can it be blocked eustachian tubes? I have not been exposed to loud noises or had a head injury for that matter. I'm now on day 4 of tinnitus and it's driving me nuts because I'm worried it may become permanent. Please help. Thank you.

Hello, woke up this morning with my T lower, like every morning. Went to drop my son at daycare and bumped my head on the car door. Can you believe that after 7 years of non-stop T, my T disappeared completely for an hour?? I have to admit that I freaked out, I thought I would have a heart...

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.

I have T since the end of 2014, due to head injury from a traffic accident. Two months is very early days, hang in there and it will get better.

Ok so is there a good chance to get cured? I’m fairly certain it’s from the whiplash so I don’t want to spend money on a doctor if they’re going to tell me what I already know without a cure. What measures could be taken to fix this?

@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...

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:

I think it really varies with each individual, and the circumstances surrounding their getting hyperacusis (I believe mine was the result of a head injury). I'm keeping a minimally invasive surgery in mind as I contemplate my options: A New Treatment For Hyperacusis 2016 2nd Seminar Master

...0.62% - Ear wax build up 0.60% - Otosclerosis 0.40% - Allergy 0.38% - Metabolic (diabetes, thyroid, B12, hyperlipidaemia etc.) with "somatic tinnitus" is obvious. Maybe, e.g., somatic tinnitus is often (80%?) at head injury and seldom with ototoxity (10%?). This would be a very important fact!

Like a headache, anything happening in your head affects your entire body systemically both physically and emotionally as with your heart which is in contrast to something like a leg injury which generally has only a local affect. This is why tinnitus is so difficult to go through because...

Hello everyone. I hope you guys are doing well. Lately my hyperacusis seems slightly worse. I do have occasional temporary setbacks (as in burning pain for some hours or days) after loud noises but my neck and jaw aren't doing too great either (I'm a stomach/side sleeper). I'm trying to find...

@just1morething It's nice to connect with you again, but I wish that it wasn't related to our situation. Maybe a chat about football, or about an outdoors adventure would be ideal. After a year of research, I convinced that injury to the jaw is a major cause of physical tinnitus. A Dr. Stylis...

If I had told you the amount of medical problems I acquired after tinnitus and hearing problems it would sound like a cruel joke. I'm f***in 21 with the health of a 80-year-old. But it doesn't really matter as I was debilitated when I 'only' had the hearing problems and tinnitus and should have...

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.
