Yes, I've read through this thread. There hasn't been a high-quality study with compelling results that I have seen. Some fairly worthless case studies, a smattering of animal work and a bunch of poorly conceived tDCS studies that aren't very interpretable. Perhaps there is a good study that...

...forgive me) that “hugs” the brain. That can cause migraines, vertigo and such. Funnily enough, when the physiotherapist went on that area (c1, c2) with the laser applying heat, my tinnitus would change both in pitch and intensity and then subside once he stopped, you could literally control...

...it can aggravate it which is why many modulate their tinnitus with neck movements). I was assured that unless you have a problem in the c1 and c2, the rest below can’t be the cause of tinnitus or a nerve issue. Also without intense pain, it can’t be the trigeminal nerve. So it’s most likely...

...sided neck pain. X-rays were taken that showed facet joint hypertrophy on the left side. A procedure was done to block and deaden the nerve at C2/3, and this eliminated tinnitus, which was still noted at 1 year follow-up. The 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology did...

...I do 3 kinds of physio, neck and jaw at 2 specialized therapists and I started middle back and lower back earlier this month for L1/L2/L3 and C1/C2/C3 improvements of my spine. After all sorts of measurements the therapists still see a lot of things to improve so still continuing. Also...

Here's another thing to consider imo: If your T is so bad that you do the DRASTIC thing; To cut the audotory nerveM sacrifice hearing; then the the odds of the T having "settled" in the brain are a lot bigger than for.. me for exmpale, whose T is super low, I'm just easily annoyed. Which is why...

...where brain activity and auditory always has involvement. This leads to broad subject matter. Radiological notation of C spine including C1 C2 - the jaw hinge and down to C7 may be helpful. Any C spine problem may also point to muscles such as the SCMs. I have massive hearing loss caused...

...dental experience. My radiologist said that muscle spasms while in the dental chair caused my C spine to straighten placing pressure on my C1 and C2. I also received a cut nerve within my mouth along with TMJ from having my mouth open for this long procedure. A very low speed drill was...

I and a friend of mine attended years ago a study which also stimulated the vagus nerve through the ear. The device was called NEMOS by Cerbomed and the study was done at the Regensburg clinic. The company actually stopped selling it. There was no effect on tinnitus. Now it looks like they...

...I don’t have the tension nowadays. It’s on the opposite side of my problem ear though. I read on a blog someone found the ear fluttering relief from c1 and c2 chiropractic adjustment. Keep us posted on how the reflext test goes and sometimes time will just heal all those tinnitus and MEM...

...Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome can be the result of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems and/or upper cervical spine problems - C1 and C2 vertebrae being out of proper alignment. Both can happen at the same time. Thinking that your ENT has ruled out ear problems. ------------------ Agree...

It wasn't you @threefirefour I referred to. But thanks! Raising awareness of tinnitus has many direct and indirect benefits. Nobody can say with a straight face that there is enough public awareness and understanding of it and how for example loud noise is directly tied to it; we have a huge...

Unless you got a blood patch trial, I'm amazed as to how you ruled out a fistulae when they are notoriously difficult to diagnose. There is usually hearing loss but it need not be permanent nor you unable to walk dizzy. Those are clear cut cases that won't get better. If all it took was a...

...and had six injections in the back of my neck to numb the pain but the ringing stayed the same. I read where a guy had the nerve in the c2/c3 vertebra in his neck numbed and his tinnitus went away. I was hoping to get the same results but didn't. I had mien numbed up as far as c4 and that was...

...to be honest, I think neuromuscular conflict could be spot on.. At least in my case.. :) Not sure about the back alignment, but it seems like the C2 ganglion might play a role in some cases of tinnitus, and so does the lateral pterygoideus which is located in the jaw, just to name a few...

...Never really changed the distortions until he changed my adjustment and sent them crazy. I really thought it had something to do with C1 and C2 because when I turn my head the distortions change sometimes. You think I should see a neurologist because I’m thinking the auditory nerves could be...

...I did deadlifting. I have been going to the chiropractor thinking my neck could be making things worse. I have moderate subluxation in my C1 and C2. I have not seen a whole lot of progress until 07/08 the distortions got much worse after my adjustment. Every time I am exposed to loud noise...

...reaction of several things. It started from mechanical compression during a dental procedure with muscular insertions starting at the at the C1 C2 level then extending to C4. This caused reduced flow in the ipsilateral vertebral artery when by head was hyperextended and rotated. From this...

...other and to the muscles that move the neck. When neck muscles gets spasms (tension) it can pressure the neck spine and the upper part - the C1 C2 that hinges to the jaw and jaw posture is often the trigger. Often there's also tension with back (lumbar) spine muscles as well. The result is...

Unlikely to directly to cause T then. Worth treating to prevent it getting worse over time & contributing to jaw& neck problems anyways. What do you think about neural therapy or lidocaine injections to muscle trigger points?

Thank you for your very knowledgeable response. To answer your questions, my saliva is not think, I don’t have trouble/pain swallowing, my throat is not sore, and I have not had any blood work done in the past 2 years. It is interesting that you think the oral cavity can be the cause. I have...

...is not causing T. It was most likely muscle spams of neck to the jaw as with me. This could had also had straighten the c spine or bought the C1 C2 a bit out of alignment. This happening would not be the direct cause of tinnitus. From 18 months of research I found 6 professional articles...

@Greg Sacramento Thank you very much for helping me and contacting people too :) I'm very sure i do have TMJ/D. My jaw clicks, it feels unaligned. I have begun sleeping with a mouth guard, it seems to help on the tinnitus. When i got out of bed this morning and clenched my teeth together i...

Amazing to me that you actually traced the specific causes and resultant damage Greg. Those of us with specifically noise induced Tinnitus would do well to remember there are various other drastic events that can cause this wretched ailment also. I am sometimes guilty of this, I know. Best...

Hi @shasta0863 -- I couldn't really say for sure, but my best guess is that at least some amount will penetrate into these muscles. I think that would be the case if you took the DMSO orally as well, which some people do (as much as a tsp. / day. In the first few weeks/months, I had a fair...

Hi @Greg Sacramento. How are you doing? I don't know if you recall me telling you about my C2 tenderness and C5/C6 bulging disk issues a few weeks ago? Things have gradually gotten better and the pulsatile tinnitus (if that's what I have as it's a feeling and not a sound) has decreased a fair...

...should be. Not only that, but given the fact I can modulate my tinnitus with two jaw movements, one neck movement and a heat laser on my c1 and c2, ENT wrote me an MRI for the head (angiography) as he said it’s probably a vessel issue and might also be due to my jaw. My theory is that by...

Hello Greg and thank you for the reply. Yours and many other members’ posts have been eye-opening. I have been reading a lot every day. My tinnitus is somatic. I read online that we can modulate it, so I tried today: opening my jaw as wide as possible slightly worsens it. Leaning forward a bit...

My god, this sounds like me!! I also have bone spurs on my neck but the MRI showed that it wasn't touching any nerves. I have horrible spasms, that can be quite painful, and regular headaches. I've been looking into Cold Laser Therapy to try to release the knots in my neck and shoulders. I've...
