Just over a year ago, I experienced a major cardiothoracic event and came dangerously close to leaving this world. For the past 10 years, I have endured extreme tinnitus, but it pales in comparison to the excruciating pain of an aortic aneurysm and a complete aortic dissection. I underwent a...

Firstly, I want to shout out to @Greg Sacramento who has made the single best contribution to my well-being through this forum. In fact I would say Greg listened more than specialists and doctors. I am sure that we are half-a planet away from each other, but Greg provided the right support when...

I cleaned one ear with water bulb type squeezing action. This ear had been muffled with severe hearing loss for weeks. And tinnitus was real bad. For two weeks I have had effects of a cold with minor sore throat and running nose etc. This morning I cleaned my ear and removed two pieces of stuff...

So I have tinnitus - of course, right? We're all here for that reason. And I was listening to a noise outside my window the other night and asking people if they can hear it. "No. What noise?" was the reply. That noise. That "zhou zhou zhou zhou" noise. Can't you hear it. After a while I...

Just asking because I think I have a sensitive tooth that is located where I have always had jaw pain - at least as long as I have had tinnitus. Are there any success storied from anyone about "fixing" their tinnitus by fixing their teeth: removed, filled, cleaned or cared for in any particular...

So sometimes (not often) I get a cold or flu. And my tinnitus gets really bad - really bad. But usually with really bad tinnitus and a cold and flu I am a few days later rewarded with a reprieve from the tinnitus. Only sometimes do I take medication for it, and then only some pseudoephedrine...

If you have been following my story, then you know my theory on neck/spine and my tinnitus. With the last 6 months I have had 3 episodes of Migraine Visual Aura. My theory (now) is that my neck/spine theory is really related to the visual cortex - perhaps blood supply/allergy/stress/migraine...

Usually the tinnitus is at a 4/5 for extended numbers of days (where 5 is too much to handle and 1 is don't even think about it). But some days the tinnitus changes to a 1/5. To be clear, this is not habituation or compensation or focusing etc. Clearly the tinnitus is very low on some days. I...

There is obviously "noise induced tinnitus". What are the other types? Are they poorly described because, as I am told, no one knows what the cause/s are?

If you have been singing along with my song then you know my history. TLDR: first I thought it was TMJ, then ETD, and now neck/spine. So I went to the dentist for a routine clean. Yes there was a drilling thingy involved - just for the de-scaling - no holes. :) My morning started with tinnitus...

Please read my other posts for my backstory. TLDR: I think I may have a neck/spine issue causing tinnitus. Last two days I have been doing a little exercise - bending from the waist and touching my toes (almost) and swinging my arms out wide and crossing over in front and then out wide again -...

So I think my tinnitus is caused by a neck problem. A) how do I confirm it? B) what do I do about it? ...on my own? ...through a medical care provider (aka GP)?

I am convinced that some kind of fluid thing in my ear is causing tinnitus. If I get enough of it out through my nose then the tinnitus goes away. Maybe an infection (4 year infection) that just won't clear up or maybe ETD that causes infection? I explained to the ENT's that I have a feeling...

I have Tinnitus and fullness in my ear on the left side. My face feels sore and my jaw feels tense and tired. Had this for about 3 years. So every morning I wake up and I sit on a low chair. And after 5 minutes I have discharge from my nose and this continues for about 20 minutes. I probably...

Today tinnitus is OFF. Going backward: 3 days ON, 2 days OFF, 1 day ON, 3 days OFF, 4 days ON. I don't know why or how.

I have tinnitus and I don't know why. Mine comes and go, and I can definitely work it so it disappears for days, and is definitely not damage-caused. See my other posts for specifics. But when it does come back then I can't understand why. I have a varied diet and includes some things I would...

My tinnitus is not noise-induced as far as I know. Someone said scalene muscles could be at work here. So after seeing some success with twisting my neck every which way, I woke this morning with no noise (oh, there is, just not the crippling noise - only the small one I can bear). It's been 2...

I wrote this before - but something happened to the post? I have found that when I sleep (really sleep, not just lie down and pray) on my stomach, that the tinnitus goes away. This is something I can seem to control. Unfortunately this means my head propped on a pillow with my neck wrenched to...

I have two sounds of tinnitus. One I can live with (quiet hissing/cicada sound), and one that is unbearable (loud cicada sound). I think I have figured out how to turn off the loud one – still experimenting. But when I turn it off, I know I can cause the loud one to come back momentarily in a...

So I went to another ENT and it basically went better than the last, but I genuinely believed this one would be better than the last. And when I say "believed", you know where this is going... So I had 15 minutes to start explaining everything from scratch - which is my list of observations...
