Can you please explain to me. I just don't understand. My T became worse in my right ear after a lot of stress and fear. I have a Anxiety Disorder. When I turn my head mine T becomes a lot louder, also when i bring my ear to my shoulder. But when I push on the bone behind my ear or on my muscle...

...my tmj. I have read some of your posts, maybe a lot and it sounds like perhaps it really is my sternocleidomastoid or perhaps also my C1 and C2? As we know we all have to look out for ourselves and after several misdiagnoses I’m trying to be proactive. I know your swamped with messages...

...Occipital nerves may also have some involvement and this alone can cause somatic tinnitus. Most with a straighten C spine also have a tilted C1-C2 and that can cause jaw clicking. C spine bone spurs may also have involvements that could press on nerves. Also beginning unnoticed jaw muscle...

As I said, I visited in this clinic last month. In fact, what I really wanted to get "Acoustic Neuromodulation Therapy" which this clinic is also offering. However, I learned there that Acoustic Neuromodulation Therapy is useful only for "tonal" tinnitus cases. (If you hear single-tone...

I'm following the "do it yourself" ACR treatment with positive results, but these days I'm realising something. I have two main tonal tinnitus frequencies. The one I'm treating (it gets inaudible with ACR) is about 1650hz, the other is a bit lower, it could be around 900-1000hz. With the use...

For some reason I could tell you have OCD. I do too. One sign is how well researched the person is. I will mention that I tried Abilify. Go real slow or start at the smallest amount. It didn't work for me and I got uncontrollable intense blinking. It was so hard to explain. Not Akathasia but...

1 - Cause of tinnitus is not mentioned. 2 - Henk koning performed percutaneous radiofrequency of C2 in a previous study: Percutaneous Radiofrequency Lesion of the Superior Cervical Sympathetic Ganglion and Tinnitus. ABSTRACT Introduction: The eight cervical nerve might be a source of input to...

...- TCC Bidirectional Sensory-Motor Properties: Sensory inputs from cranial nerves (e.g., trigeminal, glossopharyngeal) and cervical roots (C2-C3) converge at the TCC, amplifying pain signals. The wide dynamic range neurons in the TCC facilitate the referral of pain across interconnected...

...than my other symptoms but it is very much in play still. In the meantime I am looking to get those upper cervical PRP treatments from C0-C2 as soon as possible and will be using a cervical collar as much as possible. I’ve noticed that all of my symptoms seem worse when I am upright or...

...push on palate, tinnitus goes away is key. 1. Thyroid 2. Dental - teeth nerve conditions 3. Neck with focus on sternocleidomastoids and C1 and C2. Your neck - reduction of T - most likely because of a sternocleidomastoid muscle reaction to either tooth mouth trauma and/or thyroid. Your...

...to the neck and most biology in the link that I provided you. How did this all happen? It could relate to injury, whiplash- neck and jaw, C1 and C2 and lower disc, neck muscles, bad posture, dental treatment, having mouth open to wide, clenching of teeth, twisting jaw and/or tongue while...

...at 95%, at least to a slight degree. With this a little influence of cervical canal stenosis, cervical nerve fibers - occipital and the C1 and C2. Very seldom is the reason, carotid artery blockage, vein artery influence, persistent stapedial artery, heart value leakage, coronary heart...

Hi @D5vid. I had some severe anxiety at my onset of tinnitus. This is very common as we haven't adapted to the sound and it's still perceived as a threat. My anxiety completely hindered me from sleeping as my heart began to race when i drifted off. To combat that, I did take one of the safer...

...trapezius, other muscles and deep fibers Besides occipital nerves/fibers, facet joints are also most always involved. If it was about the C1 and C2 then almost for sure you would also have TMJ/D. All of this is within articles that I either posted or send to you. The treatments are easy...

...your temporomandibular joint, but normally you would also have a headache. It also might be ETD, it seems to be TMJ maybe caused by your C1 and C2 being stressed or from pressing teeth together. To answer your question, I found that very pink relaxing music does the trick. The best for me...

...or hearing functions can be the result of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems and/or the upper spine problems - specifically the C1 and C2 vertebrae being out of alignment. Often TMJ and upper cervical spine problems are related. Various nerves become pinched that can lead to clinking...

...get to the bottom of this if it's a musculoskeletal/neural issue. Long story short, we've whittled away at structural issues: sheared/rotated C1/C2 vertebrae, weak deep neck muscles causing forward head posture, thoracic/cervical postural issues and general stiffness/lack of mobility in...

...the connection to the DCN. This connection can involve many muscle and nerves that also have neuro association to the spine including C1 and C2. Muscle spasms, bending neck forward, twisting neck accompanied by excitement in the presence of noise causes the DCN to react. This again this...

...of the throat, muscles to the back and neck (controls muscles used in head movement). These muscles can tighten up and offset the axis area C1 and C2. Treatment may be controlling forward head posture, physical therapy and in some cases, limited use of a neck collar. Any jerking or...

I had a fall and hits head. Tinnitus diagnosed. A year ago. I play music and tried everything. I am stuck wit it. So I say screw this , it will not control my life. Some days it hurts. Screw it. Nothing but nature sounds are comforting. I laugh about it and say it's permanent. Gee thanks. But...

Hello, I am hypermobile, and I have lots of pain and discomfort in my cervical spine and TMJ, which I have long suspected as a contributing factor to my T. I believe that when spinal nerves are compressed, it may contribute to "cross talk" between somatic nerves and perceptual nerves -- the...

...on the occipital muscles and trapezius muscles intensifies it 200%. So that's my next stop. Work on those. Plus I might work extra on my C1 / C2 / C3 vertebra's. I'm no expert but from what I've seen the last 6 months at physiotherapy is that they are (some more than the other) blocked. Maybe...

My personal opinion is that homeopathy as a whole is a scam, and I'd urge everybody to think twice before buying homeopathic products - which in turn supports these shady companies behind them. And if you can't help but buy and try, then at least set your expectations between very low and...

I live in Western New York, the closest AtlasPROfilax is in Toronto... I still have 15 appointments left with my NUCCA, that has helped everything but my tinnitus (might have helped tinnitus 5%-10%)… But my neck and jaw is not bad, it's more about finding someone to help with my tinnitus.

...a NUCCA, but as much as I do like my chiropractor, I am contemplating trying an advanced atlas orthogonal procedure. The chiropractor uses a machine to precisely adjust the C1 and C2. I've made improvement with how I have done things thus far, so I don't know if it's worth changing. We'll...

...when there is mechanical compression during head rotation due to muscular and tendinous insertions, osteophytes, and arthritis around the C1-C2 level. As the vertebral arteries enter the vertebrae around C4, it can also occur at lower levels. As about 50% of c spine rotation occurs around C1...

...the treatment? I have done an X ray yesterday and today showed it to a chiropractor. He said that I have osteochondrosis (mild) and my C1 and C2 are rotated and it's mostly likely caused by birth trauma. I also have found out that my bottom teeth are slightly moved behind so when I clench my...

...system or disease Somatic tinnitus. Akin to the sensory system where there's a physical problem associated with T (example your neck's C1 and C2 Vertebrae messed up or misaligned, TMJ, pinching of audio nerves, etc.) Objective tinnitus. Normally heard from other people, easiest to cure...

...down. A couple of things I can think of. (Keep in mind I'm not a trained professional.) 1. You might have somatic tinnitus and perhaps your c1,c2 (Vertebrae neck area) is pinching your nerves/inner in a way that's causing your Tinnitus, and alcohol/goodposture is relaxing your nerves enough...

How many times did you go to this NUCCA?? How much of a bill did they charge you? Did he make your tinnitus go away?

...Monday to talk about options. My tinnitus is heavily somatic and the onset of my tinnitus was during lots of shoulder and neck pain. My c2-5 have arthritis and mild stenosis from all the running I do. If lean my head to the left (tinnitus is on left) I can almost make the tinnitus go away...

I take it you are from the UK? You will be aware if so that government sponsored charity funding was pulled from many areas not so long ago. How would you go about getting government funding for tinnitus above the causes that they deemed were worthy before this? Are you aware of the work that...

...are having from your jaw and (cheek) facial, I would think this is causing PT by way of trigeminal. This probably all started from your C1 and C2 with occipital nerve stress. Over sensitive teeth is caused from clenching, but also with influence from SCM muscle spasms and with some input...

...can cause jaw and facial problems on their own. Your cervical disc bulge has also placed pressure that may be unnoticeable on a MRI to your C1 and C2 which also connects to your jaw. There's no doubt that your facet joints, deep nerve fibers and occipital nerves are also in play. You...

...sinus infection as developing as secondary. Another mention was a possible disc problem within your back which I doubt other than possible C1 and C2 influence. This is an article on TMJ, but your internal and external pterygoids very well could have some influence even if you don't have...

...c spine caused from manipulation / trauma so that no blood vessel disorders or malformation of capillaries appear. Then there's that brain. My C1 c2 related trauma caused TMJ. Some studies say correction of an over curve can lower tinnitus by 50% or more, but gentle slow side movements of...

...and work out a lot for many years. I am also curious if anyone has heard of neck related issues causing this type of tinnitus in relation to C1/C2 issues. Like a lot of people I am struggling with this and my life enjoyment has dropped off massively to the point where I stay home and...

...and depending if a med helps like a muscle relaxer, gabapentin etc. I have a stiff neck and loud static hissing as I type this. I'm getting my C2-C4 nerves ablated and will see if that helps. I climbed a grain bin yesterday, 50-60 feet or so and when I came down my noise seemed practically...

So the position of he neck and head affects the way noise damage is done if I understand you correctly? Quite weird.

Once again @Greg Sacramento, thank you for your input and wisdom. I'm not sure how much different a chiro is from a physical therapist, but if you're recommending it, I'm doing it.

...I never knew it can lead to such issues so soon. This type of instability also leads to the temporal bone being messed up and eventually c1 and c2 nerves being squashed. Straight neck obviously occurs, SCM puts massive tension on the ears and deep neck muscles go to sleep. The clavicle can go...

...contemporaneously stimulating the auditory cortex and the autonomic nervous system or the dorsal cochlear nucleus through the vagal nerve or the C2 nerve, respectively. Bi-modal stimulation is based on the random presentation of pure tones matched to the tinnitus frequency pitch combined with...

Hi @Louise77, sorry to hear you are having these problems. The NHS is basically rubbish for these kinds of issues, unfortunately. If it helps, I got an appointment with an ENT & audiologist through pretty quickly (2 days) when I admitted to my GP that I was having suicidal feelings after my...

...Then I went to my buddy chiropractor who used treat my cervical straining. He ordered neck X-ray for me. After he reviewed the photo he said my c2 has rotated to the right by 10 degree which caused jaw/ear/mood/neck/sleeping. I got the first treat today and i am feeling better. It might be...

...Ridder. If someone wants me to "company" .... :). I should add that I'm doing at home on a cycle of TENS therapy by placing the electrodes in the C2 zone in order to inhibit the cochlear nuclei according to this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20505927 I will also try again with...

...scapulae as well. My SCM and trapezius hurts on palpation. When I retract my neck and move my head upwards, theres some pain going on in the C2 area. T1 (the spot between my shoulderblades) are also painful. If I press my shoulderblades together while having my arms in shoulder height, I get...

...:) I was just reading about some folks on here that are trying do-it-yourself neuromodulation. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/acoustic-cr%C2%AE-neuromodulation-do-it-yourself-guide.1469/ I went to one of the recommended sites to find my tone (http://www.audionotch.com) and I landed...

Have you noticed that Dr. Mandel is a chiropractor but his videos is much more related to exercises and stretches than cracking? It is much more physical therapy work. Bob and Brad also has a lot of videos about neck problems. Take care of neck pain is a good option. The American Tinnitus...

...are not many, as expected. I will work on splints and postural stuff after neck rehab. - My back/neck pain actually has concentrated into a C1-C2 -Occipital? Some thoracic intrascapular vertebra is also annoying, not to forget my burning ears. Any attempt to relieve the neck/head by gentle...

So even if you hear your tinnitus all the time, if the tinnitus changes when you stretch your neck, is there a chance it will reduce in loudness if I treat it?

...because of twisting jaw during sleep. From the twisting, pressure is being placed on many muscles in mouth, neck and face, but more so on your C1 C2 and nerves on the backside of neck and lower head. Sleep on your sides. For jaw twisting, a soft full pillow. Sleep with head straight over...

...Speech in noise test I score about 80%. I'm confused is this a normal result? Some of the doctors keep pushing that my tinnitus is caused by bad neck blood flow and c1 c2 problems. Mine started in one ear too, but now I just have this "head tinnitus" along with TTTS in my left ear.

what kind of doctor did you go to, to get all these tests and information?

...professionals believe that both often have relationship to the temporomandibular joint and the upper cervical spine with notation to the C1 and C2. When a neck vertebrae is out it will cause damage to the TMJ and this happens from nerves being pinched or stressed, thus TTTS. Functions of the...

...articles including the 'Back in the Game" series state that 87% - 96% with a neck injury from trauma or whiplash will develop TMJ. The C1 and C2 area often associates as well to TMJ. Injured muscles in the neck can hold toxins that can also spread to facial. As least 30% of all my postings...

...and other neck muscles up to 50%. Facet joints can lead to occipital nerve fibers in the root of the mouth. This can be activated by the c1 and c2 axis where occipital nerve fibers and facet joints surround. This can also activate the TMJ joint and associate with neck muscles including the...

...Zinc, Magnesium, Lipoflavonoid. I even ruled out a fistula, got a CT scan, which showed nothing. I’m going to the chiropractor to treat C1 and C2 .They ordered an MRI but I cancelled because of the noise it makes. I can’t keep living like this, I’m honestly ready to die. I just wish the...

...sternocleidomastoid and trapezius. The spinal accessory nerve allows the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid to control movement. Masseter. C1 and C2 nerves. All very important. The axis and C5-C6 is the least involved. The vertebral arch 50%. Vertebral body 30% and IVD 30%. Anterior...

You are asking the million dollar question. No one really knows what is happening when acoustic shock creates these additional symptoms. There is an acoustic shock paper that explains many of issues you have, in theory. It is the most comprehensive model to date but still doesn’t fully answer...
