    Dental Occlusion as One Cause of Tinnitus

    As far as I know majority of the people with tinnitus can change their tone / volume with jaw movements to some extent, but I feel like mine is just hypersensitive to even the smallest change in my jaw position.

    Dental Occlusion as One Cause of Tinnitus

    Exactly my thoughts. Couldn't agree more. Sometimes the theories that I have to come up with and then the continuation of zero improvement state of this ailment with a never ending trial and error cycle makes me more tired than the noise itself.

    Dental Occlusion as One Cause of Tinnitus

    I am still not sure about my cause because lots of jaw surgeons told me that my TMJD is minor and not even one jaw surgeon / TMJ specialist / dentist said that my TMJD might actually cause my tinnitus. I apply pressure directly to where my joint is, right on the auraculotemporal nerve.

    Dental Occlusion as One Cause of Tinnitus

    Hey, my jaw clicks all the time and sometimss get stuck, but there is no pain at all. However my Tinnitus is completely changable by my jaw movements and I can stop some of my tones if I apply pressure around my TMJ area.
