I never had a bucket list before tinnitus. In my culture "I want" is sort of a bad word. But after T i guess a few "I wants" isn't going to make the world collapse. I want to move to America I want to work in movies/theatre - directing and writing I want to dye my hair in a crazy color I...

@oceanofsound26 I really like your music and I do listen to music even though it did take some time to convince me it was safe. To be honest I wouldn't cope so well with my tinnitus without music. The way you talk about you relationsship with your family and your path in life really resonated...

Hello... it has been a while. To begin with I am better now, which is nice, but I am not free of "the sound" as I call it. But that is not the issue right now, the issue is the aftermath, I have been left with now that I am better. When I was really struggling, I pushed my friends away because...

@Chelles that is how i feel but it is hard to stop thinking that they have all the answers when I really thought they did... @glynis I have seen my dentist and they said that it was not out of place and my physiotherapist proces Them wrong so I do nat have much fare in them anymore... And I do...

@Chelles he just said to my face that it could not and I have always seen doctors in general as someone who you could trust so I always get very sad and frustrated when I think I have the reason for the T and ENT says no...

It is so annoying! I am 9 months in and hope is fading away... My hearing is great nothing in the ear is wrong that is what te ENT said today and when I afsked him if there was anything Else that could start is since it was not the usual he said there is no cure. I know there is no cure but then...

Hey... So it has been some time since I last was here but I need answers again. I have had it for 7 months now and I am loosing hope, my family too - I think. My ENTs have not been helpful and I am going to see one in a month that I have not seen before. To be short my question is how big the...

@glynis thanks I will try finding one near me. Do you think he will find something? my physiotherapist has already pushed my jaw back in place but I still feel like my jaw is off.

@Sailboardman I don't worry about the expense of a specialist since pracially every doctor here is free but is is the lavning about of specialists that worrys me. Do you know the bane of the specialist I should see? @glynis what does that specialist do? Is it nerves they fix or more the jaw...

It has been a while now since I posted something and mainly because I have been busy trying to get rid of this T. I have been to 2 physiotherapists now and one of them is a specialist in nerves. She seems hopeful and yet not, so I don't quite know what she thinks of my chances. BUT she did do...

Well... My life is never gonna be easy again. I can't accept it because I think there must be something that can be done. When I first got my T I was spiraling down in a oh so familiar low self-esteem whole. To try and make a timeline I went back in my search history to see what I was doing...

So... My T journey so far have been interesting. I got T when I was at the lowest of my lowest and the day after I was crying in a bus due to pure pressure of my own expectations. T and my newly found issues spun out of control and I isolated myself. Now that I have stepped out of the hole and...

@Charron you don't even know me and you are so supportive of me! I am really stressed but when I say that to the People I need support from they say that I am not suffering they are because of me... I have been to two ENTs and they say everthing is fine. My physiotherapist says my sympathetic...

@Charron wauw I haven't told anyone how I felt and you have really helped. I am currently holding back tears if pure relif to finaly say something. I have just been on holiday where me T almost vanished and it has been hard getting back to this situation. Way harder than I thought...

@Charron thanks really. I have been an easy target today so am a broken Down right know. Which means my T is pounding away giving me headaches.

@Sailboardman thanks it is really hard to keep a positive attitude sometimes. I haven't always been the lucky one to T is just another horrible thing. All my problems just seems bigger and bigger when I am alone. My physiotherapist is working on me but it is a lot there needs to be done. My T...

So... Everywhere I go since I got T there seems to be a new problem. But the doctors however will not listen to me at all. To begin with i have a lot of physical problems and probably some sort of psychological too, when i say psychological it is because I am anxious, a perfectionist and very...

@linearb I have been meaning to but since he Said my back was bend and i was locked in the neck I have been afraid to do it. I don't want to make things worse. I will try slow. And ask my physiotherapist if it is safe.

@linearb I would say too much time. On a bad day a little over or under 8 hours. Do you Think it could me related. When I stay seated for a long time my body gets irritated and do to my spine problems I have troubles sitting straighten up.

Hey! I am in the exact same situation as you. No ear problems and T. Prior to the T I had a jaw that felt out of place and my bite felt narrow, I couldn't bite down for more than 2 seconds before it was forced up. I have a mouthguard too. Only had it on for 5 days but I'm giving it a month...

So I know this sounds weird but I just had to share. I went to the physiotherapist a few days ago and my mom gave me a ride. At the end of the session he booked me a new one and my mom asked "is there even hope?" He replied that he was not giving up and that I in many ways were an interesting...

@glynis thanks. Any chance my T will cuiet down with my jawtrouble? Maybe dissapear? Should I track down a specialist now or wait? That misaligned thing have been there for six months so I don't know if it ever will on its own

@glynis I will try the hot compress thanks. I already eskaper to the showet once today, it relives both T and jaw pain for a brief moment. The pain is as much in the right side og my teeths and the front of my mouth. When it gets really bad my jaws feel misaligned and there is air inbetween my...

I live in Scandinavia and when I Google nothing solid comes up. If TMJ is the cause of my T I want it fixed but it is hopeless to find any TMJ specialists. I'm going to the dentist tomorrow to get a mouthguard but I will push for a TMJ specialist.

@Sailboardman I have not been to a specialist but only because I don't know if there is one. I don't live in the states and it seems like no one have ever heard of TMJ. Where should I even start looking?

I am in pain right now! I didn't even know teeths could hurt. My jaw started acting up before summer but it stopped and started again when School did. A few weeks later tinnitus followed... Which leads me to today. Still have T waiting for a mouthguard but the dentist only made one so I would...

@AnxiousJon I wanna talk to a neurotologist... But I can't because me ENTs have to send me to one and they won't at least not the two I have seen. Is scoliosis a cause for T? my physiotherapist said it could have shifted up in my neck that then shifted up ti irritate my ear... that might be why...

@AnxiousJon That is defiantly worth looking in to or maybe ask someone about... My ENTs are idiots so I don't think I can get something out of them. I guess I will have to google again then ;)

@linearb Thanks for replying :) My TMJs are not fine at all :( my physiotherapist is trying to correct them too with laser and manual force, they are popping all the time and sometimes they are so irritated I don't know what to do with my self. I have tense neck muscles too and a "locked" neck I...

@Nucleo so you don't think there is a chance it will get better? It just don't feel like noise induced tinnitus. Have you tried to massage you muscles and get a higher volume sound? I really wanna know if this is something...

thought it might be worth mentioning, I am always looking for kors of opinions on my T. I got T 4 months ago out og the blue, have overavetage hearing and therefore went to a physiotherapist. He could conclude sclerosis - I think it is called. Plus every muscle in my head is tense and i mean...

@Owen Wauw thanks really so amazing to read such detailed experience! I have not been taking anything, I even stay clear of aspirins. Your ENT story is actually very close to mine. My ENT have not been taking any x-rays and just looked up my nose really quick as a procedure. I had a cold and...

I could not agree more! http://www.laser.nu/tlc/Somatosensory-tinnitus-diagnosis-vademecum2.pdf This is the one. Even if I dont have it, it gave me a calmness and hope I haven't felt in a long time.

@Owen I have the excact same problem with my jaw! With the feeling misaligned but only in the weekends. How did you get the inflamation? Did it just occure or was it a sickness? How did you even find out is was that, my ENT says my ears look perfect so i would never suspect inflamation. Since I...

@Owen thanks for sharing! Have you considered or maybe been to a physiotherapist ? My sounds changes with a lot of things especially yawns too. Do you have any jaw problems? Or back? Because that might be the course of mine how did your T feel like? Clogged ear? Sorry for all the questions I am...

@SteveSkis92 I don't mind the questions it is nice to describe how it feels and learn more. I have just recently discovered this form of T via a pdf article. Since I have no hearing loss and the ENT says my ears look super I refused to Think it was noise that did it I take care of my ears. This...

@Dana nice knowing I maybe have a little hope especially since I have treatmemt. I am going to my physiotherapist tomorrow and last time I was so filled with hope when I left. I so hope you are right it is just frustrating that there is a possibility my problems will resolve and not my T

@Dana I am so sorry to hear that. I worry a lot too... My posture is so bad I do not even think I have a muscle in my back - it is all due to lack of confidence really. My physiotherapist says it might be my spine because it is shifted and has put some pressure on my neck and my ear, but he...

@linearb I will try that hearing test after my appointments are up with the physiotherapist. That T you are describing where the muscles getting relaxed will not kill the T how do you get that? Noise or? @Dana how does other times of T sounds like? Is it multiple noises due to multiples things?

@linearb do you know if you can test if you have a slight hearing loss because all I have been hearing from my ENT is I have very good hearing on both ears. Should I do some more tests? Or what should i try?

@Dana wauw so nice to actually meet someone with that kind of tinnitus I was not sure anyone had heard about it. I am so hoping the corretions to my body will help my T and give me some strenght back to my body. The TMJD sounds right especially with the clogged feeling and popping. Did your T...

@Nick Pyzik I have some physical issues with my back since I am tall and I guess some emotionals. Yes I am very afraid to hear it for the rest of my life defiently. I have never been to anxious but since I got T I have been more.

@Nick Pyzik I have not used headphones in years and I never turn the volume up to more than two three dots. That is why I am so frustrated plus I have over average hearing.

Hello again! I Just found this form of tinnitus and it might be the solution, but I don't know... I have no hearing loss but a huge problem with the right side of my body also the side where my tinnitus is. my spine is misaligned or something like that. My jaw is misaligned and every single...

@Nucleo my dentist did nothing! she put her fingers on my jaws and wain open and close two times. Then she said nothing really felt wrong. I then complained saint that my jaws actually were popping at this moment and she brushed it off saint they did not do anything to popping jaws! God I was...

@glynis My jaw crackles too but my dentist said that nothing was out of place and I live in a little country where no one seem to think further than the normal problems. When i mentioned my visit to my physiotherapist he was actually in some way enraged with the dentist because my whole face and...

@glynis I am waiting for the moth guard but I was so hoping for it to stop permanently. My physiotherapist says he cannot promise anything so I was just wondering if you guys had experienced the same? The physiotherapist said that the right side was pushed up and might affect my neck that then...

So hello again... I was actually not sure if I should post anything yet because a lot of things is happening since last and I wanted them to start working, but here I go. My tinnitus started in my right ear a sunday evening and I just assumed that I was an idiot for sitting on my computer all...

@AnxiousJon they might actually be plotting against me but I think it's working I'm a mess :( atleast for now. @glynis did you get any relif or did it go away completely? My ENT couldn't care less about me so it's unlikely any ENT will ever give me a rutine MRI. Any tips to pressure a MRI to...

Thanks for the quick replies! I know (and ENT have told me) that I probably just never noticed my jaw problem before and with T I do, but I'm not sure that is true... I'm a very anxious person in general and I tend to notice every little detail and both my clogged ear and jaw is very new. I will...

Hello! I'm rather new here so not sure where to post this, but i desperate! I got a ringing 3 months back after a night on my computer. I have never heard any loud music and haven't used headphones in 5 years or so (my hearing tests are perfect). I have been to ENT but they cannot say what...

Hi Jason I think our situation is quite similar, we got it around the same time and have no explanation. I have troubles sleeping too. I don't have any miracles to help you sleep and I haven't tried white noises. For me it helps to think of something else, like making a history in my head and...

@Charron thanks for the reply. Glad to hear you are doing fine. I will find a doctor who cares and start relaxing, it has been some months since i last did that. I will stay on the site to get advice and support and probaly lose some friends for my own sake. Thanks for caring!

Thanks for the quick replies! Nice to get some straight answers. I will check my jaw out as soon as possible and possibly seek out new ENT doctors. I will try to follow your great tips.

Hello everybody! I'm new here and to the whole T world. I hope you will listen to me and be my friend in need. My story started one evening while on my computer. I suddenly heard a ringing noise and felt a bit worried, I went to bed hoping it would disappear the next morning. It did not. I...
