Hey all, New to this thread, but I've had tinnitus for a year now, and it has gone up and down since I got it. I'm still not sure what caused it but after and MRI, 2 different ENTs, 2 audiograms (which show above average hearing) and countless days of depression and stress, I believe mine was...

I get a spike in my left ear, the one that has *less* tinnitus normally, when I yawn. I can't recreate it when I do the physical motions of yawning, it only happens when it's an actual yawn. I sometimes tremble as well when I yawn, particularly in the morning. The noise sounds like a...

I had the Moderna vaccine, first dose last week. I did not notice any spike or change in my tinnitus. Steve

I really hope it has passed to the point of not coming back to the forum... but if you do login, let us know how you're doing! I have had the internal tremors too... particularly in the first few months of the onset of my tinnitus (1 year ago). Mine was getting better at first (maybe...

I have had T for a year now. Now I have a bunch of floaters if I look at a bright sky, and one dark floater that I can usually see even when it's a little darker. I also have snow, noticeable more in the dark. I've seen an ophthalmologist and they prescribed glasses (although I have 20/20...

I believe a neti pot caused mine, I used it while I had a cold last Dec 2020. I still have T and it has gotten slightly worse. Anyone else had any relief?

Do you have a before/ after of your teeth pic? And how much did that cost? I saw a TMJ specialist that said they could help with my T, that I have bad bruxism and misaligned bite. Then they asked for 8k, and I decided to look elsewhere. I also feel visual symptoms as if my ocular muscles are...

I believe a neti pot caused mine as well. Let me know if you have found any relief. It's been a year for me :/

I too have neck issues (maybe from previous car accidents?) but my T started a month after I got involved in a serious snowboarding accident. I saw a few chiropractors after seeing 2 ENTs and getting an MRI, they found nothing (other than a vague sense of otosclerosis). Wondering if my neck...

I have both as well. My VS is mostly when it's dark, but sometimes with patterns as well.

I believe they did the tympanometry but I don't think it was abnormal, at least they didn't mention it! What were you thinking? Steve

Thanks KWC, appreciate that! It's not bad overall, mostly just hear it when it's quiet. But the fact that it was only left, then both right and left is bothersome. Just trying to rule out things that it could be!

Yes, you're absolutely right. I'm just doing what I can.

Here's the latest: TL;DR - no mechanical jaw problems found. Professional mouthguard might help. Ophthalmologist didn't see anything wrong with my eyes. Referral to neurologist ---- Saw the oral surgeon who took a 360 xray of my mouth and jaw. The doctor explained to me that there didn't seem...

@linearb - Sorry to hear you lost your guard! I went a similar track. I bought a $30 mouth guard from amazon and I've been trying that. I'm not sure if it's helping yet, but it's only been a few nights. On top of that, I scheduled a consultation with the oral surgery dept at my hospital...

@KWC , thanks for your reply!! Fingers crossed that can really end up helping you resolve your TMJ pain and maybe your tinnitus!! Sounds like I need a second opinion. I don't have headaches or jaw pain, but I do have jaw soreness, clicking, and tinnitus modulation by chewing and jaw movements...

It started as a high pitched ring in the right ear only. Then that developed to a quieter cricket like noise. I can usually only hear it when I'm going to bed. Then with recent allergies last couple months, I've had fullness, increased T, and even distortion with certain frequencies. When my...

I never would've thought I had TMJ. I've always been able to make a click in my right side by moving my jaw farther than normal (effected more with T) but it has never bothered me. It's only since I had T that I've become aware of the slight soreness I have now. It's also possible that my...

This is basically what the TMJ specialist explained to me. It made sense, although I DONT have headaches or really much jaw pain, she said I would be a great candidate for the treatment (of course she'd say that). In my case she said especially because I can modulate my T with jaw forward and...

Orion, looking into this now. What is the advantage of BLAIR certification, and has this been known to treat your tinnitus? Thanks! Steve

I haven't had a CT scan, but that is part of the treatment. The Dr. does two scans, one initial (at rest) and the second after placing the jaw where it would be moved. This allows you to see the changes that would be made by the brace. It would be a splint. The work up would be neuromuscular...

Hey all, I’ve definitely been through a lot trying to figure out my tinnitus (2 ENTs, MRI, PCP, vestibular therapy) and nothing has helped. I recently had the chance to see an accredited TMJ/TMD specialist who claimed she could help me with my tinnitus (I also have dizziness). I don’t have...

Hey there Davey, hope you’re doing well. I have gotten better, and I’m pursuing more treatment options, particularly tmj issues, and I haven’t given up. We’re all in this together!! I’ve been through some serious shit dealing with this, message me if you wanna chat more. Hang in there. Steve

Hello, I thought I'd post an update to my tinnitus and dizziness as I've gotten more testing done, including a brain MRI and full vestibular tests (see below for full timeline of my symptoms). The first ENT I saw misdiagnosed me with Otosclerosis, as second hearing test showed my minimal...

Hey @carolinet617 , I recently started online yoga and have been feeling very similar symptoms. I noticed more dizziness than anything after yoga, but an increase in tinnitus as well. Before yoga the dizziness was constant, but now it's just more so. Let me know if you ended up finding...

They didn't at first. They even explained my slight hearing loss is likely NOT due to my inner ear bones. At this point I still thought I had fluid in my ear. They explained there's no fluid in my ears, or they'd have seen it on the ear pressure test. Then they saw 'schwartz sign' and did the...

@GregCA Here is my audiogram! Let me know what you think. Still dizziness is the main symptom. I'm wondering if Otosclerosis is causing some dizziness by interfering with my vestibular function somehow. Or if it was a misdiagnosis. Still have right ear T that has either gotten better or just...

Thanks for the reply! appreciate your support. Looks like that antiviral might help, I'll look in to that. Could that mean it's a herpes related irritation of the vestibulocochlear nerve? Did you get a prescription from your ENT doc or primary care? And if you stop taking it, do the symptoms...

Hello all, Been having tinnitus since February in my right ear (and sometimes I notice it slightly in left). It fluctuates from a cricket noise to a solid high pitch tone, with the tone varying in intensity. I first noticed it after using a netipot in December with a sinus infection. Felt like...

Thank you for the sentiment. I’m feeling better about the ringing now, I may be more accustomed to it. But the dizziness had been very hard to deal with. I’ve had a few more breakdowns since. But I’m still gonna try to figure this out.

Hello all, Had a full on breakdown today in front of my family. Had a tough day and night yesterday, and decided to call my aunt who’s a nurse this morning. After that it just hit me that I might never get my life back as I knew it. I just sat there and cried in front of my family. Cried more...

Hi GregCA, Thanks for the reply! I will post my test results as soon as I can. I believe speech recog was good. I will push for an MRI and additional hearing test. I hope my insurance will still cover that. I would absolutely consider surgery. Especially if it could help my dizziness. At this...

Hello, First time post, new to tinnitus. Getting desperate and needed to vent. I'm Steve, M/32/170lbs. I was recently diagnosed with Otosclerosis. I've been having dizziness (my chief complaint) and right ear tinnitus. It all started when I used a neti pot with a sinus infection I had in Dec...
