My tinnitus is normally super loud and sometimes distressing, but after 7 years or so with it, I've sort of adapted to it. My tinnitus is related to my neck, and I've had lots of therapy to try to fix it. I have learned that if I move my head upward as far as I can go and press on my jaw...

I've read other people report this too, but I have periodic, but rare, episodes where my (normally awful) tinnitus almost completely stops. These usually only last a few hours, never days. I have almost always had this associated with taking time off from my normally super stressful job, but...

Assuming tinnitus (at least in many cases) is the brain trying to replace frequencies your ears can no longer send signals of to your brain - what if a healthy person without tinnitus wore earplugs constantly, would they also get tinnitus because their brain would no longer be receiving auditory...

Now after about 6 years with severe, high frequency tinnitus, and having spoken to quite a few people (people known to me and trusted that also have tinnitus), including many doctors, I have come to several general sad conclusions: Tinnitus is usually forever. Habituation just means you don't...

My tinnitus is loud and 24x7, 99% of the time. But on rare, and seemingly unpredictable occasions, I have spells of silence. They usually don't last more than an hour or two. I have never been able to pin any associations to sleep, health, diet, exercise, or any other factor. I have always...

My tinnitus is somatic and always worse first thing in the morning (like a teakettle in my head). I have not had a quiet morning since I got this over 18 months ago. I often get specialized massage for my neck early in the morning and the amazing thing is that while I get the massage, often...

I’m sure this won’t help too many people, but if does just one, then it’s worth posting. I have somatic tinnitus and have been able to modulate the volume significantly by various pressure on my neck and jaw. My tinnitus is very loud (like a tea kettle in my head) so, any relief is welcome (for...

Because my somatic tinnitus is modulated greatly by pressing up and forward on my jaw, I figured that one of those inflatable neck traction device might help. For me, it makes a remarkable difference. When I put it on and inflate it just a little, it's enough to almost completely eliminates the...

When my tinnitus is loud (it is a lot and very loud), I can almost always silence it almost completely by putting my elbow on my desk and pushing up on my jaw. Three ENT's and dentist are clueless and don't even believe me or care. If I can press on my head and silence it, I just have to...

I have had severe tinnitus for about 8 months. Before that I had it mildly for several years. I have never been exposed to loud noise. I started to notice that I could greatly modulate the noise by moving my head in certain ways and accentuate it by pushing on the top of my head. I did all the...
