Unfortunately, I don't live in a country where I can get to those services without a referral, so I'm left with my family doctor. However, she is more open to things lately but still is cautious, which I can appreciate. I'm hoping the NAC hasn't caused damage, as I've read other people...

There are many ways people develop tinnitus: head injuries, medications, infections, acoustic trauma, etc. Among these, acoustic trauma is probably the most common cause, but it also offers the best chances for recovery. If I could share any advice from my experience with acoustic...

...now but it seems to fluctuate a lot. It was barely noticeable on Sunday, then extremely annoying on Monday, a bit better Tuesday, a little worse on Wednesday and better today. Is that a sign that the tinnitus might eventually go away? I think my tinnitus is because of a neck injury/head injury.

@Vin -- I have a history of head injury/whiplash myself, and was wondering if your tinnitus could as easily be from whiplash as the head injury itself. (Lots of tinnitus originates in the neck). If it's coming from head injury, then my take is HBOT is just about the best therapy that could...

...forum @Koestan07 . Sorry that you suffered that accident while trying to help others. You are a heroine in my book. I hope others with head injury related tinnitus can respond but just in case there isn't enough of responses, you may want to search the forum with 'head injury' wordings and...

So sorry for your severe tinnitus and headaches. Headaches should be investigated. Did your headaches start before or after a gym injury? Headaches and tinnitus could also be related to blood pressure or BP meds. Also consideration to ibuprofen use as cause or worsening of tinnitus. A time...

She had a gym injury, excessive straining while lifting, and she started having head pressure/headache immediately and tinnitus a few days later, so it is not clear if it started because of the diuretic she was put on or because of the actual injury. But: After a month she felt better and she...

It was just a thought. I’m on a couple BP medications. I know how despondent people get with loud noise in their head. Better to let the Dr. know if you are dropping a BP med. You never want to risk having a stroke.

I am still interested in how they understand the exclusion criteria: somatic tinnitus arising from head or neck injury. Do they mean accidents (violent injury) or also, for example, discopathies? And why were people from TMJ excluded?

I don't know much at all tbh, but I think I would be way more worried about injury to my head than the loudness. You should probably wear a helmet.

Tinnitus is very common after a closed head injury. It usually starts after days to weeks after the injury as far as I have read. My tinnitus started exactly after 24 hours after I smashed my head on a concrete wall. Guess my injury was more severe :(. One problem with mild TBI is that there are...

Following up to see how long it took tinnitus to go away from head injury? Thank you!

I do have a neck injury and some sinus issues going on but I don't completely rule out noise/cochlear damage.

No I was blindsided by a cowardly attack. Im trying cranial therapy and see a chiropractor too. Ive tried neurofeedback. I want to buy my own neurofeedback devise. Any ideas on what I can get that works at home? Thank you for caring.

Yes, but IV lidocaine will increase the tinnitus caused by head injury, I don't mean the local perfusion

Is everyone's tinnitus noise induced? Or head injury?

...where one can damage the auditory nerve yet not show hearing loss up to standard measurements? If the auditory nerve was damaged from head injury then would hearing loss not be a result? I suffered a head injury in mid march, although there was no skull fractures my jaw, and right side of...

That’s fantastic news and I’m so happy for you. I believe the processes for tinnitus that is caused by a head injury are different than those caused by noise damage or hearing loss. I think the rate of resolution is much higher. So that it is great news. I am so happy to read when somebody...

So would this treatment benefit those who suffered from a head injury?

Can someone please help me with highly somatic tinnitus that has destroyed my life? It came on approx two weeks after suffering pain in my cervical spine just under the skull and radiating headaches from the back of my head after working out. My neck and upper back stiffened up for a few days...

I’ve had tinnitus about 7 weeks now and had improved a bit. It’s pulsatile tinnitus. Had stayed away from the gym since I suffered a head/neck injury. I think the injury also brought on TMJ. Anyway, was doing a leg exercise and maybe forced it and held my breath. I noticed that my ear had...

This is not a true statement. Tinnitus caused by a head injury will not increase with a perfusion of lidocaine. There is no physiological reason for this to occur.

Any type of head injury could have severe negative effects on an individual's life...

@ChiGuy What does injury to your ribs detail? Did you also hurt your neck, spine, jaw or hit your head? Is your tinnitus high pitched which could relate to this injury even though it happened the year before.

@Bill Bauer I was thinking more like head injury induced...

If I rapidly shake my head from side to side, the low-frequency hum that I hear will stop temporarily as if the hum is being interrupted. But as soon as my head is motionless, the noise returns again. I've never been to a chiropractor, and I don't have any neck pain. But I'm wondering if some...

...many on here and that’s acceptance for now. On another note - I was in contact recently with someone who had tinnitus onset as a result of a head injury in a car accident. She was also very young and has since had a baby as well. I thought I’d tell you so that you could hold on to that...

Hi @martin12 - Thank you for your interesting question. The truth is ... I do not have an opinion regarding how head injury causes tinnitus. There are a number of postulated mechanisms, but I find none of them compelling enough to hand my hat on it. Now there I have an opinion. To me, once...

What starts your tinnitus? Noise, drugs, head injury, stress or unknown cause?

If he's had it that long, then maybe headphones don't worry him as his existing tinnitus goes. If its from a head injury/accident (I presume head injury, not airbag deployment or other sound) then his tinnitus would most likely be Central, not auditory in origin. Of course if he'd like to add...

@Jiri Hi: Can you give some details on your neck/head injury.

Back of head injury on 1/6/17,, T started on 1/12/17.

Hi @Russell Schenck! Have you ever tried seeing upper cervical chiropractor? Sometimes a head injury can cause a subluxation of the atlas vertebrae and can cause tinnitus. Good luck!

Are you being treated for injury related to your fall? I don't have much knowledge regarding head injury but there are definitely others who have had vestibular disorders after concussion. I hope you recover.

@Chris browne what exactly caused it ? head injury ? blast to the ears ?

head injury 1981! complete loss of hearing. i know about severe T. that's it.

Mine may have been a head injury -- but I can't actually remember if the head injury was before or after the tinnitus. It may have been a neck injury -- but I can't actually remember if the neck injury was before or after the tinnitus. It may have been years of moderate volume talk radio --...

I know n=1 anecdotes aren't super helpful, but my MEMR has become so strong and pronounced in the last year that I can physically feel it reacting to almost any abrupt sound (particularly high-frequency ones) after acoustic trauma-caused tinnitus and hyperacusis one year ago. The hyperacusis is...

Could it be that tinnitus starts in the brain? For example tinnitus caused by head injury, stress?

@GregCA I'm starting to wonder if mine is even induced from my head injury. I hit my head back in January it wasn't even that hard. I hate tinnitus.

Hi Calin, How did you get your tinnitus, was it noise? head injury? or something other?

Hi, Yes, I had/have whiplash too! So I don’t know if it was/is from the whiplash or blows to the head/jaw. What is HBOT? Also, I could go for physio for whiplash I suppose? What is Gua Sha? Any links where I can learn about these things would be great. BTW, I do eat lots of healthy fats...

@RonnieCarzatto have you seen an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist for your mild head injury?

Traumatic brain injury, like from a hard hit to the head.

Neither nor. Stress.

...as Lyme Disease & Fibromyalgia, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, anemia, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma/shock, head injury or TBI, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss from aging or other causes, Meniere's Decease, barotrauma from rapid pressure changes in...

Always thought that @IntotheBlue03's problems (all) were caused by cranio-cervical instability. Alar injury also causes brain fog and sensations when moving head and eyes. All this increased anxiety. Tinnitus is decreasing as Alar ligaments are healing, thus anxiety is decreasing. qEEG may be...

Hi @Kiro. Welcome, and I'm sorry you are dealing with this. You are in the "shit luck" category. Yes, snowboarding or skiing are somewhat risky sports, but this kind of injury could happen to anyone, just slipping on a sidewalk and hitting your head. Or in a car crash. Many of us here are with...

...to find what frequencies were impacted. The standard audiogram is pretty much worthless however DPOAE will find the issue. Also i have head injury T which today is about 50% better. Month over month gradual improvement. With Tinnitus from head injury only time is of the essence. It's...

What caused your T? If you got lumbar puncture then you had high icp. Was it a head injury?

...and speak to a nurse, to see if it might be worthwhile to go back for further examination. The doctor could probably not do anything much to treat your tinnitus, unless he chose to send you for further testing. I hope it begins to subside for you. Glad you remembered about the head injury!

I may attempt biofeedback in coming weeks. Somatic Tinnitus, amongst other things can stand for tinnitus from neck/head injury. Correct?

Did you ever look into PLF yourself online and try herbal diuretic, sleeping with your head elevated, avoidance of any kind of bending over and straining etc? I am assuming you are already avoiding salt and coffee. When you describe your "atypical headache" as atypical, what is it exactly, is...

Often without noise exposure, a sudden neck injury is cause of hearing loss/tinnitus and more so if neck problems already exist. Cervical muscle spasms from lifting or turning neck often to the left can cause C spine straightening, upper ligament damage, atlas imbalance, suboccipital nerve and...

In January 2020 I fell and hit the back of my head and received a concussion as well as whiplash. It took about three months to recover and I needed physiotherapy for my neck (which really did help a lot in my recovery). I did have occasional tinnitus during that time but was feeling so poorly...

I believe you are saying that you have tinnitus that developed after a head injury, that your hearing thresholds are normal, and that you wonder if in spite of the normal hearing thresholds your tinnitus could be the result of auditory nerve damage without evidence of any other structural...

Thanks @Eleanor89. It’s been difficult and if you’re here, you know the road. I did take the full dose being inside a concrete room when I took the shot. No cover, wide open into my ears and brain. Thing is, it’s not from a medical injury or a vaxx injection but brutal gun force so I just...
