As a long time sufferer of Middle Ear Myoclonus/Tensor Tympani syndrome, I think I may have found results for clearing it and making it go away! I went to a neurotologist and he may of found results. First things first...Do you have seasonal/bad allergies? Do you always seem to have...

I'm a extreme metal fan. And no, not Metallica or Iron Maiden (although they are good) but more screamo type stuff. Chelsea Grin and Crown the Empire are my favorites.

As the title says, I hear a VERY sharp, loud click when I swallow and move the back of my mouth muscles. It only happens to my right ear. Episodes of this start most mornings and most nights. Never really bothers me during the day. It almost sounds like my ears are popping almost like when you...

I have Middle Ear Myoclonus (spasm in middle ear) which ultimately ruins my life, and I haven't found a cure or surgeon yet. I'm also a long time tinnitus sufferer. I promise you, it gets betters I'm a 17 year old male and had this since I was born. The first thing is how loud is the buzzing...

I think it's cool and relieving that there are gamers out there that are victims to a similar terrible disorder. Gaming is the one place where my mind is at ease and I don't worry or stress over my middle ear myoclonus and tinnitus :)

As a long tinnitus sufferer, I wanted to change the topic to other disorders to talk about here. Not only do I suffer from T and MEM but I have horrible TMJ and "clicking" around my jaw area when I swallow. This isn't really a click though, I don't really feel it, I more or so hear it deep in...

I will be glad to upload a photo in the morning, but for now I have: R9 380x video card I5 3460 Hz processor 500 gigs of hard disk space 8 gigs ram I play a lot of games! CSGO, H1Z1, Shattered Skies, GTA, Guild Wars 2, rocket league, and a lot more lol EDIT: I have a 27 inch monitor with Steel...

Well yesterday night I had a dream of me driving on a highway at 190 miles per hour (idk why but I remember that's how fast I was going in my dream) in a yellow corvette. I see a police car parked and try to slow down but my car flipped like 10 times. When it was done flipping, I got out unhurt...

Wake up at 7 every morning and worry about my tinnitus and TMJ and its "clicking" and "ringing" symptoms. Eat and play video games and possibly hang out with a friend. I love to do stuff but tinnitus and TMJ are making it incredibly difficult to enjoy basic things. Take a shower at night and...

@gotyoubynuts Haha I wish. It would be a dream of mine to play professionally. However I did start twitch streaming to hopefully build a career off of it :)

I have had tinnitus all my life and the one thing I do to keep my mind off of it is to play CS:GO and H1Z1 competitively . These games take lots of skill, reaction time, concentration, and knowledge. Are there any competitive gamers out there with Tinnitus?

Great post, but if you had tinnitus, wouldn't you want more noise so it would mask the buzzing? Or is this ways to not damage your ear more to make tinnitus worse? I might as well share some tips from me. These tips are for me MASKING the tinnitus buzz. My tinnitus is a high pitch frequency...

I really like this. Thanks for the post. Unfortunatly my favorite music genre doesn't go well with my Tinnitus ( I like screamo and deathcore)

I know this is a bit late but how is your job? As a person with severe anxiety I'm happy you found a new job without worrying about your T

I have TTS as well with TMJ and Tinnitus. I hate TTS so much and it controls my life (I have severe OCD and don't wanna get put on muscle relaxers or anti depressants) that I consider surgery or Botox. Should I just deal with the TMJ and get a splint to correctly align my jaw?

@Tom Cnyc These spasms could last from 20 minutes to all day. Last Tuesday, it lasted a full 12 hours. From when I woke up at 6 to 4 or so in the afternoon. These spasm sessions usually happen every day or two, with a day of rest in between and when they don't happen. If it was something once...

@whale Do you think it can help? I do have tinnitus and TRT might help with that, but it seems like tensor tympani syndrome is either from my horrible TMJ Jaw disorder, or part of my tinnitus

@bill 112 Scooby Doo? I don't know what you mean by that, but my profile picture is a Subaru WRX Sti with this crazy rally spoiler. I saw it at Cars and Coffee. Also, I agree CSGO doesn't haven't the best graphics, but I think that was intentional so everyone can play it smoothly and without...

Hopefully this thread is still alive but.... counter strike: global offensive I love the competitive nature and I'm pretty decent at it. My highest comp rank reached was Legendary Eagle Master (LEM)

@Lorac Thanks for the kind words. After all of this I am definetly considering a therapist or something for OCD. I am trying my best with TTS (taking Magnesuim supplements, getting more sleep, etc) and am hopefully praying that Botox in my ear or surgery will relieve it forever. I can only...

@PaulBe thanks for your input . I am gonna try to get an appointment tomorrow and talk with an otologist to see if Botox is an option

@Lorac thank you for sharing. Hopefully I can be as strong as you. I have tensor tympani syndrome which are very annoying and loud spasms inside my middle ear. I feel as hear it and they happen a lot. Sometimes I just wanna cry and die because my severe OCD can't handle it. Do you have any...

@JasonP I might try that. Thank you for your words, however I couldn't find too much to stop my spasms... This tensor tympani is controlling my life and currently finding a doctor to perform Botox injections or surgery to cut the tendon to never deal with these spasms anymore.

It doesn't start a spas session by noise, and when it does happen, my hearing gets a bit muffled and I hear my ear drum literally moving. But I don't hear other noises then that

That's odd that it gets louder while laying down. My T is the same constantly. Sounds crazy, but maybe it's how your lying down? Is your ear right on the object your laying down on? Also, I reccomend trying Magnesuim supplements as they help with tinnitus.

For 3 years I have had vibrations/spasms in my right ear (rarely left ear) and it drives me crazy. No noise causes this, but randomly starts having a session. Most of the time, it happens when I awake from sleep. It really making me anxious and depressed. I know it's small but I have severe OCD...

@MarmiteKFC Gamer here. I would let your ears rest for a few days before putting on head phones. Like the rest, I reccomend low volumes. Also, if you can't use headphones, I would buy speakers and a Blue Yeti mic that way you have no headphones and can still communicate with your team .

@whitehorse67 Hello! As a long time victim of Tinnitus, I truly think yours won't be permanent. It seems like your ear got messed up big time with the pressure differences. I would give it a week before worrying about it, and possibly try Magnesuim and Calcuim supplements. Good luck!

Hi! My name is OPLax and I am 17 years old with Tensor Tympani Syndrome and Tinnitus. I had tinnitus ever since I was little and my TTS just started maybe 2 to 3 years ago. Right now, I'm comfortable with my Tinnitus, I have stuff to mask the sound, but my concern is the frequent muscle ear...

@JasonP I unfortunately don't take anything. I don't have depression but I do have horrible anxiety. I should probably look into some medication for anxiety as for it may decrease my Tensor Tympani Syndrome spasms.

Hi there! My MEM/TTS are heavy spasms that I feel in my right ear. I feel AND hear it. I know your pain, it's a living hell. I tried Magnesuim and calcium doses but they did not help me. My MEM/TTS rarely happens through the day, it mostly occurs when I wake up from sleeping every morning...

Okay, thank you for your response

The spasms happen at random times and aren't caused by any sounds

I have been diagnosed with Tensor Tympani Surgery 2 weeks ago. It has flared up about 3 to 4 weeks ago, and it's making my life a living hell. Throughout some portions of the day, and most mornings when I wake up, I get a loud, vibrating spasm every 10 to 30 seconds. The spasm muffles my sound...
