Per, Back in 2011 I had really bad jaw popping when I ate or brushed my teeth and my jaw would deviate to the right for me to pop it open. This was ongoing for about six month. In October, I had two root canals on the left side of my mouth and my mouth was open for two hours while I was...

Does anyone have any idea what could cause tinnitus to start in the other ear after two years? I have had T in my right ear from TMJ for almost two years which has seemed to get better but now the left one has started a bit - different sounding and puzzling. Any ideas????

how do u measure the hz of the tone? mine changes from annoying hissing to pulsating when lying down and hearing test last year noted no hearing loss 58

I keep reading how T can be a "foul" up in the nerve structure of our brain. As I have mentioned previously, mine, I believe, was a TMJ/Somatic issue/injury. My T seems to have changed and sometimes it get real low - but, when I blow my nose, I know this sounds crazy, but the T is real loud...

Mahdi, I'm not sure if it isn't in the auditory system, for me, for instance, mine started with a tmj and physical incident I had. I'm not saying there isn't permanent damage in my auditory system but I really don't think it's in my head at all. The sound has changed for the better but it is...

I often wonder if mine, which by the way, sounds so much different than most of you, will ever go away. I believe mine is directly from a major tmj issue and physical activity that did damage. But, I want to believe that it will go away. It did get much better, I think or I habituated as...

1.) What ear(s) is your T in? Right 2.) Would you describe the sound as coming from the ear or do you find it is coming from inside your head (and where in the head- middle, side, back. etc.)? Ear 3.) Is there only one sound, or multiple sounds? Are there different sounds in each ear...

The question for me is: what is a vibration plate fitness machine? how can that cause T? how can they test the Eustachian tube and what is the connection for ET and T?

i wonder if the hyperacusis is caused by the tensor tympani and pallatini being affected. i wonder why they would be affected if the T is noise related - any ideas anyone? i could why mine developed, mine was from TMJ but noise related why??

you guys give me so much hope and to all of us out there whose T didn't start with hearing loss - keep your chin up - for those whose T comes from hearing loss - keep your chin up too

I spoke to Jastreboff personally and he indicated my T would go away didn't say how long it would take but after telling him when and how mine started he seemed pretty optimistic - well it's been a year and a half and it's still here - better but still here - the TMJ is so much better though -...

j1mt: I truly had TMJ, popping clicking pain in the shoulder neck for at least six months, my mouth even deviated to one side after root canal procedures on the left side and my mouth was open for a long time. a week after the root canal i was bent over in my driveway and scrubbing and that...

Louise, I seem to get very frightened and sad when I read posts of us whose T gets worse. I just wish something could be done, but as I read this forum so many people have T from different incidences, different sounds. It gets very confusing and alarming on how they can come up with a...

doesn't anyone believe that it gets better in time - not worse! Click quoted so many people whose T totally went away after maybe two years time. also, what I read is that most people started out with a noise situation but mine started with a TMJ issue with a physical exertion one day. I've...

Mike, didn't you post a little while ago a link on tinnitus sounds. i went to open it and i had to do something else at work. was that you and oh, by the way, sometimes life really throws us a curve ball but your attitude with taking day by day is the only way!!!

Karl, you always make me laugh with how you end your comments. it's always something funny. i find it encouraging and positive that something will be done in the next few years, because if the military says we need to do something about t, you can be sure that it will be done. i have also...

i'm curious guys what does the sound make now and why do you think it's getting so much worse for no reason? is it a life style situation or how your t started to begin with?

click aren't you the person who sent me all the info on the people whose t went away after a long time. don't back out on me now. i also get so frustrated when after an orthotic for a year straight my tmj is better but the t is still there and yes it does change at times. i put ear drops in...

Does anyone know if ear wax removal drops can make tinnitus worse? I have no idea if I even have a build up but my right ear, the one with the T and formerly TMJ, seems to feel different than the left. Any ideas, I'm kind of panicking because I did use some drops and it seems that my T is...

my orthotic repositioned my jaw because it deviated to the right and my jaw had trouble opening and then it would pop real loud and then I did something out of the ordinary physically on my driveway and that night I woke up with T. I believe there is more T related to TMJ than people realize...

I believe that my T was definitely caused by TMJ that I ignored. My jaw actually shifted to the right a bit and my muscles were really tight. An orthotic that I wore for a year alleviated the jaw problem but the T is still there but better. They say it can take a long time. My eustachian...

So am I to understand, like Molan, there is nothing that can be done or the nerves may heal themselves in somatic t. Mine started with a TMJ and a stupid physical movement I did, is that why I still get all the crackling and popping in my right ear.

I went to an ENT last year and he gave me Flonase, a prednisone spray, and it made me crazy - i'm not real good with steriods. Do u think this has something to do with the TMJ and all the complications it gave me and this is one of the last symptoms along with the tinnitus to be resolved? The...

I have tried several attempts at the placing your finger on the back of the throat and rubbing for the ET to drain or whatever. I get this loud pop in my right ear occassionally when I'm laying on right side at night. By the way, this is the ear of my T and my TMJ which has been resolved from...

thank you Laperson, it is always a pleasure to read the responses and "pep talks" from my friends on TT Forum. I always feel encouraged and all you guys keep my head up and make it so so tolerable.

I believe what you say Laperson to a point. Mine actually does fluctuate at times, it is not the same. Probably because it is somatic and in one ear. Coincidentally, the same side as the TMJ. I also to Dr. Jastreboff one day last year and based on what I told him he did say it would go...

I hear so many stories how it went away and then I hear stories, like yourself, that it has been with you for some time now. I'm curious how yours started and what initiated this nasty thing. I have had mine for a year now from TMJ, I think, the TMJ is better with an orthotic I wore for a year...

Deepest condolences for your loss. Tragic.

Erik, do you know if Dr. Dalton is going to be branching out of Texas or do we have to fly out there to be treated - sounds pretty unreasonable if you live on the east coast. And the price, I think we're talking about $20K. To do all that and then it might not even be successful--pretty scary

Louise, Coping is the hardest part. I didn't want to be bothered with any one or any thing any more. You may have a ruptured ear drum. It's too early to tell for you. Give it time. Read Click's post about how people got better after two years. I'm still not over that hump yet and I'm...

Louise, sometimes it seems like it is getting better, other times it seems loud. mine started with tmj that I ignored and the T started, I think, with some different physical activity I did. but, I was horrible in the beginning. I know I posted this before but when I read that some new comers...

There are so many comments, threads regarding how to cope, treat and research regarding T on this Forum. But, when I read a thread like Youri Maroun's and Meecat's, I find them very unsettling. They are young and have no idea how their T started. How does one diagnose/treat that? Then I read...

Meecat, when this happened to me a year ago, I was absolutely nuts. It seems that everyone that posts their experience, do say that their life was so different before. This is true. I took six weeks off from work, I had MRI's, CT Scans, blood work, and finally I went to a neuromusclar...

I have to say that Click's post was the best. After reading all those scientific posts, they make no sense to me, it gets very frustrating because I try to think is that what's going on, does that apply to me, I don't even understand most of them. But Click's "clicked" so to speak. Karen, are...

Click, I am so greatful for your message. My birthday was Saturday and I couldn't have received a better message from someone I really don't even know, but I do, you see, we have something in common. Now when I get scared, I will read your message to me and breath better. So many comments...

Can T go away after one year--you think? I have had mine for a year now with TMJ but I still have issues,the jaw is better but the T is still there. I get so frustrated, I don't take any drugs either.

i agree with Karl but can anyone intrepet all that goobedly-gook for me. what does it all mean in reference to those without hearing issues

i could read that article a few times and still cannot decipher what it is trying to say. can't they just say things that we "non-scientific" people can understand. can anyone intrepret it? i'm curious on what they mean but central nervous system and normal audiogram.

I believe this website was not created to judge any one but to be supportive of this common nuisance we call T. Whatever anyone does to either try to combat it or remedy it should be commended no matter what. I'm still trying to find people who have T with no hearing loss, I believe Erik is...

tonizim, 1963 is a long time. do you know why it started and how? i'm always curious on when T started for people. perhaps it was something physical you did. spending alot of money on "cures" can be very frustrating. i believe research is so much better now though.

so Erik is this treatment viable to tinnitus patients now or is it in research for people with chronic T - I believe they use VNS for people who have seizures.

i have never asked anyone on this site if they are wearing or have ever worn a repositioning/stabilizing orthotic for tmj and tinnitus symptoms. i have been wearing this for a year now and even though my jaw feels better the T is still there - wondering if someone else has had any experience...

i was wondering if ETD can last a long time. i have had t for a year now with tmj disorder and am wearing a stabilizing orthotic and my ears still crackle and when I lay down and turn and expose my right ear it sounds loud and pulsates and when I stand up sometimes it sounds different - any...

Believe me I know - mine is strictly TMJ related and I have been wearing a customized orthotic for a year now and I still have the T - which is very physiological.

well it's my understanding that when you clench your jaw or move your jaw and the pitch changes it has to do with the jaw - it just makes sense to me - perhaps your braces has something to do with the muscles in your jaw - maybe you need to see another dentist

I was thinking it may be TMJ related but I wasn't sure - I believe Petloy you had a question about TMJ issues

Does anyone know why the T would change in pitch so drastically when yawning: is it a TMJ related item or neurological? chicken

i get very nervous when someone starts mentioning dcn or nerve damage. i had mri's, ct scans, ent visits, so far you guys on this website make more sense than most. but your comments made me laugh--you don't blather.

So Karl are you saying that my T is probably permanent with the hopes of just good days or bad days. My neuromuscular dentist thinks different and has said it may take a long time. I respect your opinion.

Karl, I would agree with you but for me it seems so coincidental that the T started with tmj and something physical I did, which I would agree with you it is somatic. But, here is the question, wouldn't the T go away with treatment for tmj if that was the case. I don't think there is any...

Has anyone with TMJ/tinnitus issues and have exercised a bit too strenously, i.e., using neck and shoulders muscles had t go up? Is this normal? my t was doing pretty good and have been getting acupuncture injections in jaw area and neck and shoulder but after doing some exercises the other...

Karen, How did your T start? Are you sure you don't have a TMJ issue? As far as I know, the crackling could your stapedius muscle or eustachian tube dysfunction probably from inflammation.

I do - the inflammation makes sense. I'm glad to hear I'm not crazy with the crackling thing - I use Saline Nasal spray all the time - it helps. It's a natural solution, I can't use anything else.

Karl, I read so many things on this site. The research and trial of many types of medications and procedures is amazing. I just wish the ATA would come out with a medical solution or the ATA team up with some of the organizations/universities that do a great deal of research. I'm still...

Karl, Great news about the reduction in your T. I currently go to an oriental accupuncturist/chiropractor who works on the TMJ. My jaw was actually deviating to the right and now it is much better. I'm also doing accupuncture injection therapy on my right side of the jaw and neck...

tried Flexeril and I broke out in a rash - did nothing for the T at all

Erik, my accupuncturist is an oriental doctor who has treated many cases of tinnitus in her time and has indicated that if the sounds changes, as she puts it, meaning goes up and down, that is a good sign. Karl, my neuromuscular dentist has me wearing my orthotic, which was designed...

I keep trying to see if someone has any idea if my situation with the TMJ and neck/shoulder issues can be remedied with my treatments, i.e., orthotic, chiropractic manipulation, Accupuncutre Injection Therapy in the jaw area. Chicken

I can tell, Mock Turtle, that most of the guys on this site are very learned. But, here is the thing, we all have something in common, T. No matter how it came about or how long it will last or what the mechanics are doesn't really matter. We all want the same thing--for it to go away. I...

Erik, My neuromuscular dentist has told me over and over again that he believes that some T is muscular in nature and perhaps your comment on the brain misfiring is accurate. He is a firm believer that working the muscle groups of the SCM, Trapezius are very important because I also had a...
