@emmalee My jaw use to pop and click so bad! But after four months of wearing my mouth splint that completely stopped, and now my jaw rarely hurts. Physical therapy has helped me not to clench my jaw when im stressed which has also helped a lot too. All of this brought the ear ringing down to a...

@Stephanie72 Hi! So the treatment I have been doing is wearing as splint, designed by a TMJ neuro-muscular(something like that) dentist, he took CT scans and everything before making it. I also have been going to Physical Therapy for TMJ which helps a lot. My ringing is still there but its...

@New Guy Mine is only in my right ear, left ear has never felt it

@Mi1 Hey, although my case is quite different from yours, my ears started ringing when my tripped and hurt my jaw, I already had TMJ but after that fall my jaw/neck were hurting worse than normal and then my ears started ringing...lovely. Then about a week after my ears started ringing my...

@Dmitriy how long did it take for your ear fullness to go away? Honestly that is bothering me more than the ear ringing....

@fedup thanks for coming back to share!

Hi @Kingdawson that's great you don't hear it anymore. If you are still having bad anxiety and unable to control that, then I think it's best you see a therapist or some sort that can help you. All we can really say is stop thinking about it, but that's not going to help you much is it...

@Stasiapascual Yeah I still do, my jaw still hurts almost on a daily basis, so I know the problem that is causing my T is not fixed yet unfortunately. My ear ringing is usually more noticeable at the end of the day, i think because of eating during the day and having to talk a lot.

Hi @Rick Garner Thanks for your response! Yeah, I'm very hopeful of it clearing up considering i have perfect hearing and my ear pressure is normal too. Just trying my best to be patient! TMJ is a hard thing to fix, takes time.

@Ignacio mine is mostly low in volume, I notice it get a little louder after I eat a big meal because chewing a lot hurts my jaw. Mine is somewhere between a constant hiss and static noise.

thanks @Rick Garner I'm hoping mine clears within 6 months too! I'm 3 months in, mine is most likely caused by TMJ issues (jaw is misaligned and setting off my ear nerves). I've been getting TMJ treatment for the past 2.5 months now so I'm praying this is all over soon! In your original post...

@threefirefour yeah me too, only last for like a minute for me though. its weird, when i first wake up its not plugged up, but as the day goes on it gets worse, and then sometimes fluctuates throughout the day. like at 11:30 it was bad and now its not bad. So annoying lol

I hope my ear fullness goes away too! I've had for a couple weeks now in my right ear. My hearing is 100% and audiologist checked my ear pressure which was also normal.... they think everything is related to my TMJ which im currently treating. It's just a slow process and the plugged up ear...

I have ear fullness in my right ear only, I got my ear pressure checked by an audiologist who said my ears were 100% normal, so I guess my TMJ is just putting pressure somewhere that is causing the ear fullness. My acupuncturist told me to try those type of ear drops too but I havent had a...

@just1morething Keep your head up! I'm not giving up til I find something that works! I got my new appliance Tuesday, and have already been feeling a difference, it's not constant but some flux in the noise and ear/jaw pain which proves to me that I can fix this with my jaw treatment

@Codaz They are Soma's

thanks @IAmCalifornia , def keep us updated! @quietatnight I'm only 25 and having all these jaw issues! started two years ago after my first year of work, after college. I guess i've been clenching my jaw at night, slowly moving it out of place until i got myself to where I am today! An ENT...

I think the three of us are in the same boat! @MakeItStaph @threefirefour We should keep each other updated on what works and what does not for TMY, ETD and any jaw/face muscle issues !

since tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, then fixing the underlying cause of the symptom can stop the tinnitus. I also have really bad TMJ. MRI shows my jaw misaligned and a lot of inflammation of the joints. I've been 2 months into TMJ treatment, I'm starting with a mouth splint (to...

Hi @Aaron44126 Yes I've been wearing a repositioning mouth splint for two months now, im also going to acupuncture for my TMJ/ringing. It's the clogged up ear feeling that's bothering me right now, I've been on Sudafed since last Saturday but unfortunately it has not helped much, right ear is...

@threefirefour Yeah, my ENT took a look at my MRI and CT scans and my misaligned jobs is a) pushing on my middle ear causing the nerves to act up, and b) causing my Eustachian tubes to get clogged which is why my ear feels full. So I've been on Sudafed since Saturday now, to try to get the...

Hi @Aaron44126 What have you done for your ETD to start to resolve? Would appreciate any suggestions as I have TMJ that's clogging up my ETD on my right side especially

@Theater Ringing I'm 25 too! Seems crazy we have to deal with this as such a young age, i've been dealing with horrible jaw pain for two years, and haven't been getting proper treatment and then the ear ringing started August 28th. Mine isn't noise, its bc of my TMJ, but I still feel your pain...

@Dmitriy I've had ear ringing for two months now, this past week my right ear has started to feel very clogged up, super annoying. So i went to an ENT, she said my ears look healthy (my ringing is caused by TMJ so i wasn't surprised by this as i got my ears checked two months ago). She asked...

Hi @Erin1997 for TMJ, it usually needs help to clear on it's own depending whats causing it. I had to get a custom made mouth splint bc I was clenching my jaw not knowingly. You can start with a soft foods diet, making sure you're not tense, and maybe trying acupuncture. There's also physical...

thank you!

Hi @Erin1997 Maybe you have TMJ causing it or ETD ? Do you have jaw pain? Any feeling of tired/strained muscles around your face/neck?

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-from-head-hitting-on-a-wall.4521/ ^maybe that thread can help you a little

glad you feel you can finally talk about it! That is what has helped me (im only 2 months in so quite different from you). I talk about it with anyone and everyone, I have never tried to hide when I'm not feeling great. This has helped a lot, just being open and it actually has helped make me...

I reallly realllly did NOT want to still be here 2 months in, But here I am, and I'm doing okay thankfully. I know I shouldn't complain, as a lot of you have had this much longer. I don't mean it in a complaining way, it's just my story. Brief background, I'm a 25 year old female from Santa...

@Aficianado Thank you so much for sharing. I am 2 months into my onset and this makes me hopeful it can go away, even after 15 months. I've been taking normal Magnesium for about 2-3 weeks no, maybe I will switch to chelated. Although my onset was not due to loud noise at all, it's worth...

@Tinnitusboi Hi Lucas, mine is also do to muscle tension caused by my TMJ. Have you gotten any better since August? Mine started Sept 1, im doing slightly better but nothing too significant.

@aberob Yes, i have seen only small improvement in the ear ringing with my TMJ treatment so far, but its only been 6 weeks since I started treatment, and 7 weeks since the ear ringing started. I'm very excited for the day I can't hear it at all! TMJ treatment however takes time, however my jaw...

Hi @DirM have you continued to improve?

@Potter I believe my ear ringing is due to TMJ, stiff face, jaw, neck muscles that got that way bc of stress/anxiety. I'm currently aggressively treating my TMJ in hopes that it will get rid of the ear ringing. My doctors have estimated that it should go away within 3-6 months. It's been a month...

Hi @Harris08 I completely disagree with the earlier negative response you got to this... in fact there's a lot of success stories of people's tinnitus going completely away after getting TMJ treatment to fix their jaw. It's never a waste of money to get yourself healthy. Especially if you're...

Hi @Emmaadva I think you should go to a specialist instead of waiting- that's just me, I don't like waiting especially if it's something that only gets worse untreated. Mine started 3 weeks ago and i knew right away it was related to my TMJ (jaw issues) that had recently started hurting a lot...

@M Smith how is TMJ treatment going for your tinnitus? I am currently doing the same, treating my TMJ bc all my Doctors think it is what is causing my ear ringing. I had a hearing test and no hearing loss and ears looked healthy

Hi @Tata, have you improved more?

Hi Sen, My ear ringing is pretty much solely caused by my TMJ (at least I'm pretty sure and hopeful of that). I'm 25 and have no hearing loss (got this checked), no ear infections, pretty much ears are healthy. My ear ringing starting August 27th, so it's been almost 3 weeks now. I've had TMJ...

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Your T will calm down once you get through this grief period. Try to relax and find a support system (friends, other family, etc.). In the meantime maybe take some herbal sleep supplements so you can rest and get your T down. Wishing you the best

Yes I really want to do physical therapy combined with my mouth splint! I will look up some good options in my area to get started on that soon. I go on vacation this Sunday, when this first started happening I wasn't looking forward to vacation anymore, but I'm so hopeful again with the small...

Hi DirM, I just came across this post and was wondering if you had any updates? Did your T come down to a 1 or stay stable at 2? I just got my bite splint Friday September 8 and have been wearing it 24/7. I've noticed my T slightly go down during the day sometimes and early in the morning but...

Hi daisymay, Yes I really believe that having TMJ issues is a huge contributor, it's crazy how many nerves/muscles/joints can be affects when our TMJ is out of whack. I just got my mouth splint adjusted today (next adjustment is in 3 weeks). So I'm hoping to see even more improvement after this...

That's great news you're getting a night guard! I currently have like I said a repositioning splint, I clench my jaw at night (That's how this all started). I currently wear my splint 24/7. I'm also on muscle relaxants and light dosage of prednisone, before I got my splint they really didn't do...

My Tinnitus is TMJ related and is worse when I'm laying down for leaning on a side. I've had a mouth splint for 8 days now and laying down is getting slowly better. I had a CT scan that shows my jaw misaligned to the point it's practically touching my ear

Hi Reem, I've noticed my volume get lower with a splint I got for my TMJ 8 days ago, I still have spikes of it going back to normal volume, but I can definitely tell it's going down sometimes now and it's only been 8 days! So I'm hoping it keeps getting better. I've heard the ear issues are the...

Thank you! Yes I am very hopeful it is curable as I've read some of the other threads and my Dr treating my TMJ has had success with this in the past! Today I actually had some moments where the T was at a 1/10 so hopefully that means my splint is working already! Take care!

Hi Sara, How did your flight go? I am traveling to Hawaii a week from this sunday, my tinnitus is due to my TMJ. I currently have a mouth splint to reposition my jaw and have very slowly noticed the tinnitus get better. I'm afraid flying will hurt my progress. Did you have any issues?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I have had TMJ for two years. The jaw and facial pain and tension really bothered me, however, I had some pretty crappy doctors that took forever to order me an MRI and pretty much told me to take Alleve four times a day. I wish I hadn't listened and saught real...
