Greatest song ever written IMHO.

Sorry, I didn't see this, let me answer you: The chiro does a lot of massage around my head and jaw, plus he uses ultrasound, and some weird contraption that "punches" my jaw to help reposition it. My T is like yours, high-pitched. Quite, frankly, I forgot what it sounds like because I rarely...

Great news Bas! I have to tell you, in my case I didn't even realize all the muscles on the right side of my face even hurt until my ENT touched them and I was like OMG! Thank god for her, because a lot of docs don't believe in the whole TMJ thing. That being said, the constant care from my...

You can do it!!

My drummer recently--albeit reluctantly has been getting on the earplug thing. For practice, he wears shooting earmuffs and then uses in-ear monitors at a low volume in his ears (we use two room mics for his monitors). I checked his setup out and its pretty rad. The sound is good and clear and...

Good luck. I hope it works out! I'd like to know if it does.

I play guitar. 140 Watt Ampeg head through a full-stack. Can you say loud? Anyway, cymbals are THE WORST thing for your ears. Do you use foam earplugs now? The custom molded are a godsend. They are comfortable and have genuine clarity to them. They aren't really "plugs" more like attenuators.

My bandmates won't listen to me about ear protection. I warned them. I always wore protection when playing out live, so I guess that's why my hearing is still above average (and trust me we play loud deathmetal!). I just bought a pair of custom-molded ear plugs, which are fantastic. You hear...

Absolutely I was able to change the pitch by clenching my jaw. When it was at its worst, Chewing food was like listening to a wave of high and higher pitches as I chewed. Annoying as hell I tell ya. I can still make the T active by clenching down hard or just opening my jaw wide. ...Damn, I...

My case of T and my ability to have it virtually eliminated is directly due to three people who truly took the time to listen, investigate, experiment and provide encouragement. I apologize for my long absence, but I needed to stay away from talking about T as I went through this. My ENT...

Thanks Gary. That sure helps!

Well, there is a low underdone, but that doesn't bother me at all. It's the constant high-pitched tone that sucks. It;s been going on all day today. Yesterday it was gone and there was only the low tone, which I can barely hear and doesn't interfere with daily life at all.

Wishful. It's a high pitched whine.

Regarding TMJ, when I went to the ENT, she told me I didn't have permanent tinnitus, but that my Masseter Muscle (sp) was inflamed and since this muscle is very very close to the ear it is what is causing my tinnitus. I went to a TMJ specialist and he took and 360 x-ray. My jaw was fine, but...

Night guard goes on upper jaw. It's called "Dr's Nightguard". Dentist said it was safe for short periods of time until I get a truly custom molded one--I fitted it this afternoon. Gonna try it tonight. You need to follow fitting instructions carefully. I'm hoping that's the problem. I've had...

Yes, I've been through TMJ boards and ringing/buzzing ears is definitely a symptom. However most of the TMJ boards deal with structural issues. Mine, according to my ENT and MF dentist, is a muscle thing. He is trying to get me a night brace because he suspects I am clenching at night (not...

Oh, it's totally a musician thing. Hearing Nuance is in our nature!

Gary: She told me Hot compresses 3-4x a day, Aleve morning and night. She said if it didn't clear up in a week go to a maxillofacial (spelling sorry) surgeon. Went to him, x-ray was fine. Jaw was good structurally. He hit many trigger points on my masseter muscle, all clear, until he went into...

JTP: I don't know. If it's RI.

Steve. I still have hope that it's the tmj. I mean, when I rub the right side of my jaw, it hurts for a while (not as bad as it did), I get a shooting little headache on my right side for a minute or two. My right ear feels clogged a lot of the time and I can hear my Eustachian tube crackling...

I went through all the settings on my noise machine, and it seems like every noise, just raises the pitch of the noise I'm hearing even higher. Very frustrating. I am going to try some good fusion jazz, where there is a broader dynamic range and hopefully that will break things up. If I can get...

Steve. thanks. I always wear earplugs. It's my rule number one. Always has been. I'm hoping it's still a tmj thing, but it's difficult for me to 'just not think about it'. Funny thing is loud noises (ie lawnmower, leaf blower, etc.) do not bother me at all when I am done. The T almost never...

Thanks everyone. I know it could only be temporary, and the ENT had given me some hope she told me it wasn't T and not to worry. But that hope is fading away. It's been about 12 weeks now. At first it was diagnosed as my TMJ area being swollen and inflamed (which it most certainly was). That...

I guess all the years of playing music has caught up with me. It's a shame too, because I was pretty responsible when it came to rehearsing and playing live -- I consistently used -20db earplugs. I gather it just took a few times without them to cause my tinnitus in my right ear. Right now, I...
