    Can Abnormal Iron Cause Tinnitus?

    ...know for certain. Tinnitus is such a garbage thing, I believe it can be caused by almost anything. Low or high minerals in the body. Poor diet. Stress. Head injury. Noise trauma. Chemical exposure, mold exposure. Colds. Sinus infections. Spinal/skull/jaw misalignments. TMD. It’s really fucked up.

    Tinnitus Will Gradually Improve

    Hi Shane! sorry to hear about your skull fracture. any other post head injury symptoms? did your T come on immediately after the incident? T with head injuries is difficult to call. And it's too hard to predict until the 1 maybe 2 year mark. I would recommend lots of omega 3 fish oil for a...

    Interesting story of bilateral tinnitus development

    My theory is that when there is anything going on in the head or neck area such as injury, recovery from some types of surgery and inflammation close to the auditory nerves from the ears to the brain we hear a form of T. Imo ot explains different T sounds and spikes. Its our bodies own built in...

    Neck and Jaw Issues — Would Heat and Muscle Relaxers Be Helpful?

    Thanks for the explanation. My whiplash was fairly mild and mostly resulted in physical trouble. Researched the things you mentioned and they don't seem to apply to me. Doesn't mean I'm not still careful with noise, same as I always have been.

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Fuck Prednisone. I took it for 14 days following a work injury I had in my left ear. I’ve since been 3 weeks off the Prednisone and I’m experiencing the worst (possibly permanent) spike there is. I’m not sure how long the effects of taking steroids last in the body but my right ear has gotten...

    Tinnitus Onset After Nerve Issues (Pain, Burning, Numbness, Pins and Needles)

Treatment for this involves strengthening exercises for the...

    Somatic Tinnitus Causes (TMJ, Neck, etc.): Is There a Way to Tell?

Coming off Sertraline is the only thing that has happened to him to cause this T (He has 2 other long standing T noises that he has controlled from a head injury).
