@Paulmanlike From a lifetime of examining clinical trials, data from a previous study means little until a form of regulation acceptance is needed. With trials on a procedure that are non drug related, expansion criteria and some redesigning will take place. We know that these studies won't...

...a computer is a real problem for me. Maybe I need a real professional neck brace instead of a foam one. I just wish for a small deduction, but with my age related problems within neck as mentioned to you, it's going to take time. I may need more than applying pressure points to the C1-C2 area.

...inflammation on my neck makes my ear ringing worse, I'm going to get a cervical facet block injection on my C3, which I heard that inflammation on C2 C3 can cause ear ringing. I will post my result afterwards. I would said that lidocaine injection seems like a great temporary relief...

Just another update to my spike saga. I saw the upper cervical chiro and my atlas has been holding in place and he did his first adjustment on the C2. No real change yet. I went to my GP to check on my vitamin D levels and get a refill on Amitryptaline and she found I have a small hole in my...

...I loved Jay Peak. @The Frenchie Visited France in 1975. @MajaC Been to East coast Canada. Appears to be your SCM neck muscles, C1 and C2 involvement and the mandibular ganglion. http://www.natural-solutions-for-muscle-pain.com/sternocleidomastoid-muscle.html The Frenchie...

...- not disease. Often at a young age, cause is from the head and neck being pushed forward against resistance. With that, neck muscles pressure the C spine. Sometimes the C1 and C2 pressure the jaw joints and that can also cause tinnitus. @nurserae - Your MRI is tomorrow - stay relaxed. HUGS

I am not sure yet. The tinnitus is still there. My last update you can see here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/acoustic-cr%C2%AE-neuromodulation-a-new-treatment-for-tinnitus.219/page-15#post-177515 When I have tinnitus it is difficult to be objective. Also when my tinnitus is low it is...

...found another major influence of my T. And I am still trying to investigate how to influence it. Long story short: it's the neck muscles and C1 / C2 / C3. This is what I expected for some time already, but if I nod, and stretch those muscle's my facial pain differs and off course the T. That...

Can you explain what you did / attempt to mod your device?

...working for you. The other one was 1 hr. 40 min. away. The last visit I was told was not a nerve block but dexamethasone injections I believe. Tomorrow morning I will have a nerve block test injection in the C2-C3 area. It is required for insurance before doing the radio frequency neuro...

Hey, you found a good place by coming here! :) How did you acquire tinnitus back in 2006? Have you tried any treatments? There is the Acoustic CR trial going on in the UK, if you have tonal tinnitus (i.e. a pitch that is constant). You might want to read about that here...

...tinnitus. "Somatosensory stimulation will be delivered by pads positioned on the cheek overlying the trigeminal ganglion, the juncture of the temporomandibular joint or on the neck at overlying cervical nerves, c1 or c2, determined by the manner in which the subject can modulate the tinnitus."

Basically, a very expensive habituation device with not great research and studies behind it. It is possible it may work for some but I believe your tinnitus/hearing loss has to be below 10 kHz for it to be worthwhile. You can take a look at Dr. Hobbs video on it here: Also a thread here at...

Yes I would try outward neck therapy ( bending head forward - hanging head down). To answer your question to me on who to see for this - would be a good physical therapist doctor. This method would take pressure off the c spine, veins, arteries and your hearing nerve. This would indicate...

Some thoughts The space between the C1 and C2 vertebrae The atlantoaxial ligament as the dorsal ramus emerges The deep side of the semispinalis capitis, where initial piercing can involve entrapment in either the muscle itself or surrounding fascia The superficial side of semispinalis...

What other symptoms did you have?? Did you have reactive tinnitus?? More information would be helpful.

You'd better stick around and answer some questions :)

...help myself. I found all about a relatively new type of Chiropractor and they are call Upper Cervical Chiropractors. They primarily deal with C1-C2 vertebrae misalignments which cause tinnitus, ear fullness, hearing loss and Ménière’s. I found the closest Upper Cervical Chiropractor...

...ago. I've always had it if I listened for it but it rose to the surface one week ago and it's been REALLY TOUGH! I damaged some nerves in the C2/C3 area 7 months ago and I immediately had constant full headaches on the right side and bad anxiety out of nowhere. This anxiety jumped to...

Very very likely its due to your neck.I have read that the upper neck soft tissue injury(C1,C2) js the main culprit in most cases for numerous concussion and whiplash symptoms. Unfortunately our neuros chalk it off as PCS and the neck injury is never ever addressed or given a thought in most...

Hmm, so it's sounds beeping up and down in the T's range? I have a hard time finding mine though, it's somewhere around 13khz. The DIY seemed a little complicated, but I guess just paying for the notch isnt worth the subscription? Is it suppose to mix in with the regular tracks for your own...

I have been reading up on this thread https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/acoustic-cr%C2%AE-neuromodulation-do-it-yourself-guide.1469/page-9 and thought I would test it. However, I'm having trouble pinpointing my tinnitus frequency. How do you know when you hit the right one? Is it when the...

...amps up the compensatory tinnitus. Cervical/TMJ - positions we sleep in could put pressure on ear mechanisms - especially if there are misalignments of the jaw/tmj/C0/C1/C2 vertebrae. It may be one or a combination or none of these. But it would be a very good topic for the researchers to...

...out without earplugs normally it stays the same. I was put on Prednisone; it did nothing. I’m going to the chiropractor and he said my C1 and C2 are irritated and can be causing problems. I’m now on diuretics because I have a big feeling this has something to do with inner ear fluids. All...

Hi all, I think they might really have found somthing that will work here. This is the most amount off money I have ever seen being used for hearing loss and T R and D. It has the top ex-GlaxoSmithKline senior scientists involved, UCL are involved, also rnid are involved . Private invstors have...

...because I walked out of the dental office with somatic physical tinnitus. So I need to place a curve back into my neck which will help my C1 and C2 to adjust, but focus must be made for jaw improvement. That would include keeping mouth closed with just keeping a little space between bite...

I think you are heating the nail on the neck here. I will see how can I get help with this because this is very disabling.

...ETD, inner ear, respiratory or allergic reactions then it could be jaw related. If it's jaw related, then there may be a connection to your C1 -C2 discs in neck. An injury to neck and or jaw from an accident like falling down or hitting head can take years to surface causing T & H. Some times...

Bump... Yeah should I do PT on my neck, go back to the dentist and have them try to adjust my splint, or go to the T retraining center in my city?? My neck is def not right.

@Fally Headaches, dizzy spells, spinning, vertigo, TMJ. If it is your neck this may be reason. C1-C2 level rotation and the vertebral arteries where they enter the vertebrae at C4, C5 and C6. Longus coli and scalenus anterior treatment might help. I'll try to find backup support for this...

...my head against a wall 3 years ago. I have tried what not since then to find some relief. Even been to a chiropractor who told me my atlas (C1,C2) was misaligned 20 degrees and mentioned subluxation of my atlas bone in neck. He cracked and popped my neck in all the 12 sessions and also...

I was considering going to NUCCA. I have read some people have had success in relieving their T symptoms and some have not. I couldn't justify or afford spending any more money on treatments that may not work. I like this chiropactor. If I lived near him..I wouldn't mind spending the cash to...

Is tDCS the TENS therapy?

Hello, how are you now? On the medication combo? If so, how do you feel? Does it lower the tinnitus? I am also searching for something for my severe tinnitus. I am on 7.5 mg Mirtazapine in the evening and that helps with sleep. But at daytime it is sometimes a hell on earth.

I believe there's a good way to tell if your tinnitus is being influenced by TMJ. According to a study people with tinnitus who could increase it by biting down have a >50% chance of reducing their tinnitus with TMJ treatments.

Thanks. I can see with old lateral cephs that my nasopharyngeal airway is actually narrowed depending on my head posture (which is why I think I have difficult to correct forward head posture as it is more open in this position). This is going beyond tinnitus, but some of your posts make me...

...I feel bad for everyone, especially those with severe T. The Dr. gave me a choice of a Lidocaine injection or a RFA (radiofrequency ablation) of C2-C4. May do both. Foraminotomy is a medical operation used to relieve pressure on nerves that are being compressed by the intervertebral...

...treats me now is an annoying poser who doesn’t like explaining much but next week I will force him. He is manipulating my temporal area, c1 and c2 and they can see if something is sort of “out of place” or has become “dysmorphic”. It is stated that hyperactivity in the temporal area, bulging...

...the brainstem from shoulders up provide somatosensory information. Somatosensory input notes a presence of disease or injury of peripheral natures often with compression. One common aspect is the C1 C2 connection to the jaw. Muscle strain from any of this can make a physical condition more...

...This time it's somatic cervical tinnitus and it's like a fire alarm. I'm going to try several treatments. I'm thinking of TENS applied to the C2. Cervical exercises, wearing a collar, and a new mouth guard. Vitamins most likely will not help, but thinking of taking a B complex and vitamin C...

...Lying down right now as I’m typing this, aural fullness is increased, as if the muscles in my jaw are pushing at it. It seems that whenever c1, c2 and the mandible are involved in relation to gravity and their relevant muscles contracting, ETD changes occur as well as some very loud - and...

A doctor I talked to on the web told me that I need to go to a chiropractor to see if my jaw was aligned and my c1 c2 vertebrae was aligned but my GP told me you gotta do a lot of research and try to get a older chiropractor cause the young ones can mess more up then fix and to go to a dentist...

Here are the results. If I read the data correctly, it does seem indeed that, for that particular study, ACRN didn't fare any better than masking.

...is also a pinched nerve there too but could not be sure. At any rate, he said that there was nothing that I could do about it anyways. I do have C1 and C2 misalignments, but I think everyone does. The Nucca chiropractor has helped some. Is your tinnitus all the time or does it come and go?

...if tinnitus can be modulated by moving jaw. If tinnitus was severe and somatic with modulation then either the C spine has strengthen, or the C1 C2 (atlanto-occipital joint) is off balance and muscles of neck are in spasm. This hanger system also includes the hyoid bone. Neck muscles may not...

...but Im curious if anyone else has had some of the same MRI findings, like yourself.. My previous physio and chiro kept nagging about C1 and C2 as well, but Im not 100% convinced that those are the culprit but it would make sense. However to my understanding, the cervical dermatomes second to...

...what you can do in the gym, but not now, and until you understand how all movements affect inner ear you should not do anything. What do C1 and C2 have to do with the feeling of liquid moving deep inside your ear when you bend over and lift a bike? Or with any dizziness in the elevators? Of...

@BreachOfEuphoria --- Are you referring to T1 and T2 vertebra and not C1 and C2? The T2 vertebra helps to support the rib cage. It is small and processes facets that create joints with two of the ribs. The T2 vertebra is a stable segment of the spine, but can lead to deterioration which can...

...tests showed evidence of what my problem was other than a straighten c spine. Professional links that I have posted does explain the C1 and C2 interactions to somatic tinnitus. The C5 and C6 is often a cause as nerves can get entrapped. Neck muscle therapy including the use of hot and cold...

Sorry for the late response. Atlas Orthogonal is a method used where they set you up on a machine and realign your C1 to be straight and in positition. They have a special 3D xray they take which can see both of these. I'd be careful though, realigning may actually cause an issue with your...

...to immediately clench my teeth. When a whiplash causes tinnitus or increases tinnitus, clenching almost always happen. It has to do with the C1 -C2 vertebrae and neck muscles. Barry Keene has a short easy to read article titled Whiplash that explains this. Since you had mild whiplash and an...

...into neck injuries and tmjd with an upper cervical spine chiropractor who took X-rays, and tested my nerves, muscle tension and what not with some devices Friday. He said my c1 and c2 are messed up. Not sure what that means for the tinnitus but I’ll post if I find any relief from adjustments!

I've started to have a look around for Curcumin products and found this brand on Amazon. The product itself seems to fit the criteria in terms of active ingredient proportions and I quite like how the brand owner has put himself out there on the page for people to see. Might give it a go...

...it’s mostly ear/brain and not related to my TMJ/neck? I could check with Caring Medical I suppose. I called them in the past and they mentioned C2 instability can cause tinnitus. Then you mix in prescription meds to sleep, pain meds, and assorted supplements and you have big mess to try to...

...tinnitus mostly involves the trapezius area with muscle spasms and damage causing a straighten c-spine, and that causes the following. C1 -C2 discs to not move freely which can cause TMJ/D, an imbalance of SCM muscles, nerve compression at the C5-C6. Nerve compression can also act on his own...

...Sounds interesting: https://www.caringmedical.com/chronic-pain/digital-motion-x-ray/ Was to this Dr. years ago for prolotherapy: It didn't seem to help my noise (really hurt though) Unsure if he went as high as C1-C2 levels. http://drmarkwheaton.com/

...motion to the other direction. If neck pain is central to the c spine, then massaging may have to be lowered a small fraction to just above the c1 c2 junction. My neck pain moves around, but each brain stem massage technique does lower my T. The brain stem is the only place that I can get...

...balance issues due to misalignment and that will cause other muscles in the neck to react with muscle spasms. TMJ/D is often related to the C1 - C2. Usually neck tinnitus is caused from muscle spasms that can also include your back. This is all complicated, but it's hard to diagnose without...

Can you please post the results?

I don't think my splint is gonna be adjusted anymore, it could be a little on the left side. I've had the splint for 10 weeks now, how long does it usually take to correct the issue where the T goes away if it does?? The first time I got the splint the ear buzzing went away totally for a few...
