What does it mean if coffee/sugar etc. DOESN'T affect my tinnitus? It's just... there, always! Only moving my jaw left to right, and pressing on my temporal muscle increases the noise differently. I suspected TMD/TMJ, had a mouth guard splint done, but my significant other accidentally busted...

So past my one year tinnitus anniversary, I have been experiencing dizziness or what I am assuming is to be vertigo, right before falling asleep. This is actually infrequent, it happens occasionally, and it "jolts" me awake, but it is unmistakably the feeling of the room spinning. It only...

So I'm getting married in t minus 4 weeks. This has been a taxing year, mentally and physically, since my lovely tinnitus decided to show up back in February. I was excited to be marrying the love of my life, and yet I am frightened beyond belief because we all know how loud these things get...

Specifically this one: *Just warning, it produces some loud tones, if you click on the link, make sure volume is way low!* Was thinking recently about Hidden Hearing Loss. I clicked on the above link while browsing around the internet, as the knowledge I've learned from here that...

I will admit, my diet and water drinking levels haven't been great lately. T has made me reach for the comfort food. I'm thinking it's time to implement a major diet change. I've been putting it off because I figure, what's the point. Anyone here have an actual positive effect on their...

I'm not talking so much about a cure or treatment, well maybe I mean a treatment. A cure, from what I gather, is either not that far off, or a pipe dream. What I'm talking about is finding out what exactly is causing your tinnitus. I've been reading a lot about ENT visits lately from various...

Hello fellow Tinnitus Talk people. At the suggestion of a member on this forum, I decided to check out a NUCCA/upper cervical/upper atlas chiropractor. I had seen a regular chiropractor many months ago, but it was a waste of time and money, tinnitus never changed, but my back feels great...

To say, after four months of waiting, that my ENT visit was profoundly disappointing would be an understatement. Every stereotype I heard related to ENTs and tinnitus came true. First, he looked very unconcerned and mildly annoyed. He does a hearing test. Checks inside my ears. Makes me do...

Just wondering what exactly the ENT can do beyond obviously checking what's going on with the ear from a physical standpoint (obvious sign of infection, scars/tears, etc.) and hearing tests, and ear cleanings. I've been reading a lot of demoralizing experiences involving ENTs/tinnitus. I'm...

Just curious what an MRI for tinnitus can actually show. Like, if you do have jaw problems and it pinches the nerve... Or if there is genuine hearing damage... I know it can show tumors... Or ETD... Just wondering if it's worth my time...

So my neuromuscular dentist advised and confirmed I have a slight misaligned jaw and am a teeth grinder at night. Combined with the somatic components of my tinnitus (jaw movements and pressing my temple change the pitch slightly) he believes, though stopped short, of saying he thinks this is...

Just wondering if any of you fellow T sufferers had your relationships affected by this god forsaken affliction. I'm engaged and supposed to be married by the end of the year. My fiancé had been trying to support me to the best of her abilities since my T onset a couple of months ago. But I...

Hello all. My family in the USA (I'm in Canada) will be having a gathering at the end of April. My fiancé really wants me to go. It's a long, 10 hour drive. I normally never miss said gatherings, however since T onset two months ago, I've been an anxious mess and wreck. I have a sleep...

Hi all, asking a question (or a few) about the habituation process. Just to preface, I hope this doesn't come across as me trying to set some kind of timeline or anything like that, comparing habituation time to others, etc.. I know it doesn't work that way. It's been about two months since...

Hi All: I developed T at the end of Jan. 2017, randomly. I have a loud, high pitched tone on the right side of my head. Can hear it over the television. I did suffer a mild head injury at the beginning of January, but the doctor didn't bother to check whether I suffered a concussion. Right...

Feeling low today. Developed T randomly last month. Not noise induced- I did have a mild head injury but was never diagnosed formally with a concussion (doctor didn't check). Other doctor told me it was ETD a couple of weeks ago, but he checked my ears this morning and said they looked...

Hi All. My T started on Jan 29 2017. Became unbearable on Feb 08. Full blown insomniac now. High pitched tone in my right ear (or is it head?). My right ear crackles when flex the ear muscle or swallow. During the day, the tone is "perceived" in my left ear... Never had any depression or...

Hello everyone, my story: I live in Canada. Exactly a month ago, the power went out in my basement, and I live in a house that is from the 1930s. Pitch black darkness and an extremely low ceiling resulted in me banging my forehead against a wall, resulting in a laceration about the size of a...
