@Telis Sweet! thanks. i'm looking forward to hearing what she has to say.

@Telis thanks for the info. i'm wondering... if you read the article i linked above, it has certain acupuncture points that the study apparently found effective. any way you could show it to your acupuncturist and see if he/she has been trying those? maybe we can get some good info... maybe...

@Aaron123 True... either way though, if their results are truthful that kind of success rate is out of this world awesome (for those who have cervical tinnitus).

@RaZaH i hear that! it's borderline ridiculous the things i would do if i could be guaranteed a cure. however, what i found interesting about that article is how it actually included the specific points that were most effective. one could print those out and take them to an acupuncturist and...

any thoughts? i'm not sure if i'm buying this... these success rates just seem far too good. although this is a recent "study" - dated FEBRUARY 15th, 2016 "Two separate groups were tested with the acupuncture point prescriptions. Both groups had an acupuncture needle retention time of thirty...

this info brought me some peace... hope it does the same for you. noise induced T is almost always stable over time. (see link #1). link #1: http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/detalhe_artigo.asp?id=125 "Stability Over Time The vast majority of patients with noise trauma described their tinnitus as...

@RaZaH it may bring us some peace knowing that just because we didn't notice our T right after the noise exposure, it is still probably caused by noise exposure... at least that means it probably wont get any worse (as the vast majority of T caused by noise exposure is stable over time). see the...

@RaZaH interesting... i think this is more common that i initially thought. at first i thought the slow/delayed onset meant that my T could not have been caused by my noise exposure (chainsaw use and log splitter use for hours without protection). so dumb! it was so loud my ears were seriously...

hello all. sorry for the frequent questions! i'm just trying to get my thoughts organized regarding tinnitus and this forum is proving to be extremely valuable. thank you so much to everyone! so i've talked with some people (both in the open forums and in some private conversations) that report...

@erik "The dorsal cochlear nucleus The DCN has been implicated as a possible site for the generation of tinnitus-related signals owing to its tendency to become hyperactive following exposure to tinnitus-inducing agents such as intense sound and cisplatin.47 OHC damage triggers plastic...

i dunno... please don't take this the wrong way. i know how frustrating it is to have someone try and tell you what your T sounds like, or if they give you some "answer" that you know to be inapplicable in your situation. I also notice some noises at night that i don't hear during the day, but...

@Nucleo you seem to also know loads about T... any thoughts on my "delayed T onset" (of 1-3 weeks)?

wow... that's actually very encouraging to me. you see something else regarding my T that makes me wonder if it's actually due to the chainsaw noise exposure is that i did not notice my T right after using the chainsaw. yes, while actually using the chainsaw it was sooo loud my ears were...

thanks so much for your reply. i don't think you're being a debby downer at all (just realistic and i really appreciate that). i agree that it's probably a mute point. my reasoning for asking was that i'm not totally sure my T is from noise. yes... i used a chainsaw for hours without protection...

Tinnitus in both ears, but fullness in the right ear only. i do not have ETD (was ruled out at my ENT appointments).

wow. @Dave AUS THANK YOU so much for your response! your T sounds extremely similar to mine. we've even had it for about the same time! hope you don't mind me asking, but what about if you thrust your jaw around? like very far out or back or side to side? what about jaw clench? i appreciate your...

@Atlantis didn't mean to upset you. you sound very certain. that's great. please understand... I've read that statistic RE: 80% of T suffers can modulate their T (just not specific to noise induced). here's a good example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2633109/ can you share a...

IF ANYONE ELSE IS READING THIS I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION AS WELL!!!

i really think, given the description of the sound exposure, there should be no lasting damage (link: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2007-175/pdfs/2007-175.pdf )

do you know what caused your tinnitus?

@erik & @linearb oh yeah... i should mention... does my audio-gram (hearing test) being totally normal (no deficits whatsoever) have any impact on your opinion of my T? check this PDF out... pretty good basic info - says a chainsaw can cause hearing issues within 1-2 minutes with no...

@linearb @erik thank you both so much for your replies! @erik - sounds like we've been down similar paths... i've seen two different chiropractors and also a TMJ specialist that charged me an outrageous dollar amount for a plastic splint that was totally useless. the one thing that is still...

in May of 2015 i used a chainsaw and log splitter for hours without hearing protection (stupid i know). within a couple of weeks of using the chainsaw and log splitter my wife remembers that i started complaining of my ears ringing from time to time... everything changed on June 7th, 2015 when...

No luck @billie48 . Not a single reply! Do you know anyone you could bump that may have an opinion? Anyone with for sure noise induced T that can alter the volume or pitch with somatic input?

hope you don't mind me asking... but are you able to manipulate your noise-induced T by moving your jaw or neck? i'm having a very hard time finding out the answer to this T question... can noise induced T also be manipulated by neck/jaw movement... or does being able to manipulate T mean with...

sorry for asking a question without ever actually posting my full story in the "introduce yourself" section... i plan on doing that soon... I WOULD REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE ANY RESPONSES! here's my question: are there people out there who got their tinnitus from noise exposure, but...
