This becomes tricky for a number of reasons... 1) I can not recommend specific exercises for an individual without first evaluating them and determining what is safe and beneficial. 2) in a public format such as this, There is always the chance that someone, other than the person I am...

@attheedgeofscience: I agree that an accurate diagnosis is critical.. unfortunately these can be elusive. My thought was to point out to the 10% wandering around in this forum oblivious to the role that their musculoskeletal system might play in their tinnitus. I don’t think you should be...

@Gman: Assuming you have already tried manual physical therapy and that there are no other disorders, it seems likely that your T is due to the Chiari Malformation. You might consider finding a neurosurgeon that specializes in CM, travel if you have to, for a second opinion. Be prepared to...

I use et al., to avoid listing everyone who’s concerns I am addressing... nothing more. You offer sage advice. I will strive to cultivate more humility and avoid talking about things out of my expertise.

@Bam: I don’t think your paranoid at all. Active denial makes a lot more sense than just plain old ignorance. It sounds like SOP for governments and corporations. Deny, deny, lie, obfuscate, attack those who say different, allegedly in the public interest- because people can’t handle the truth...

Thank you for this explanation. I kinda started to put two and two together after some of the more extreme comments people have made. I realize now that I have only seen the tip of the iceberg. I had no clue that it could be this bad. And I am absolutely shocked that I have never heard about...

@Bam, et al,: you all have my sincere sympathies. I realize this is a complex problem resulting from several different causes. I am sorry that yours is not one of the more easily treatable forms. I wish you all the best.

@Lane: Thank you for sharing your experience here. Your case illustrates my point well. Even in the face of a diagnosis like Ototoxic induced tinnitus, in which conventional wisdom would suggest little hope, an MS approach can never the less make a significant difference. Good luck to you.

@Greg Sacramento, @PaulBe, @Michael Leigh: Thank you for your considerate, well reasoned constructive comments. @Bam: It surprises me that you list neck problems and stress as the causes of your tinnitus yet you seem not to understand/appreciate my suggestions. @Autumnly, et al.: Clearly, many...

With respect to research: I am not dismissing any of the research that has been done or is currently underway, or any of the wonderful progress that has been made. I have no doubt that some day these studies/research findings will lead to a better understanding and medical treatments for this...

@antonio77: The fact that the acupuncturist elicited or aggravated your symptoms suggests that he hit a trigger point responsible for your symptoms at least in part. I think this is very encouraging and you should try acupuncture again or Trigger Point therapy (manual therapy).

Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying its all musculoskeletal, stress or anxiety. I'm just saying that for a vast majority it is. For these people, it helps to consider this.. rather than floundering around from "specialist" to specialist with out a clue. For a smaller percentage (a large number...

I am a physical therapist in the Portland, OR area, that has been treating a broad range HENT patients the past decade. I can tell you from professional and personal experience that there is much yo can do about all forms of tinnitus and hyperacusis. It is a multifactorial problem that can...

There is much you can do for Tinnitus!
