    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    No that’s a good question. Me and my Chiro before the car accident thought my neck was causing the issues. I had subluxation in C1 and C2. Maybe it helped 5%? Nothing to really go crazy about though. Pretty sure it was ear damage from barotrauma, probably a PLF. Not sure at this point.

    Loud Tinnitus Started Just 2 Days After I Started Using Headphones on Lowest Volume

    Thank you for your comprehensive opinion. If by touch therapy you mean a chiro, then unfortunately, I doubt there is any upper cervical chiropractor in my country. And even then, it looks pretty dangerous. But is it possible to at least alleviate the symptoms of misaligned C1-C4 by regularly...

    Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Facial Pain, etc. — Possible Treatment

    We know that TMJ - jaw is connected to the C1 and C2 where most of the time both go haywire at the same time and it does effect hearing. If this is the case for you, then you should have had some ASD and TTTS. Sometime whiplash to the neck does not show up for fifteen or more years. When the C1...

    Hi from Asia — My Tinnitus Started When I Turned My Head to the Left

    ...Sorry that you are hurting so much by your tinnitus. Since turning your neck had caused your tinnitus, have you ever received upper cervical adjustments? There are chiropractors specialized in this. Perhaps they can check if your C1 and C2 are in alignment. Good luck and take are. God bless.

    Clicking Ears — Culprit: Middle Ear Muscles? ETD and TMJ?

    I have had mouth guard for 12 years but I grind so much that I still put a lot of stress in my jaw and neck. Currently I have severe pain. NUCCA is like upper cervical chiropractor, but they specialize in the C1 and C2 and are very gentle.

    For me, Advil helps. I got a neck injury to C1 and C2 from lifting heavy stuff. Muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories help. Been going to chiropractor for it.
