Cup your ears with your fingers facing backwards and cross your index and middle finger and tap in the base of your skull a few times ... instant relief but it doesn't last. I used to take turmeric in the past before I developed to tinnitus but stopped ... I'm reading all your comments about it...

Hi all, Well I'm getting TMJ physio for what my ENT says is musculoskeletal tinnitus and so far it's been helpful and the ringing has somewhat died down a bit. Although I've noticed it's very loud and high pitched in my right ear as soon as I step out of the shower. After I use a hairdryer it...

Martin NYC I saw The best ENT in my city and he said straight away is musculoskeletal. I was convinced it was caused by allergies .... the audiologist yes was above normal for my age. The dentist said it's not worth wearing a splint as many don't tolerate it but I'm pretty sure exercises will...

My situation exactly and I'm starting physiotherapy for it on Monday and very positive it will get better... by the way Valium helps too which proves it's tension and stress related.

I wake up with an alarm ringing in my right ear but as soon as I get up and stretch my neck it goes away or dies down to a faint hiss. Definitely tension in the neck from bad sleeping position or jaw clenching ... who knows what I do when I'm asleep

I've seen an excellent ENT in Brisbane he said straight away it's musculoskeletal bruxism and neck tension. This doctor is the best his name is Andrew Lomas.

Ok this is a general question for somatic tinnitus... does it ever go away completely after treatment ??? Everyone seems to complain from it yet no one has said they've cured it

Well my ENT has told me my tinnitus is musculoskeletal and I will be seeing a physiotherapist for it. I wake up with a loud ringing in my right ear mostly which goes away when I stretch my neck towards the other side and downwards... the ringing is back once my neck is back in normal position...

I just got diagnosed with this too and will definitely get a splint.

I saw an ENT today. He's THE best one in my city. He said my hearing is normal and after checking everything, he said I grind my teeth which I know I do because my dentist mentioned it last year. He recommends getting a splint and seeing a dental physiotherapist which I will definitely do...

Really likes reading your story and very interesting too ... hopefully you will get better and it's just a phase due to stress etc. Mine is mild too ... I seem to hear it only when in my bedroom lying down (I wake up with ringing that goes away as soon as I stand up and start moving my neck)...

Do you have hearing loss as well?

On another note an Australian hearing website claims 97% of people have some form of tinnitus... is this correct ?!

The audiologist explained that the cochlea has sodium inside it and eating too much salt upsets the balance and that's why a low sodium diet helps people with tinnitus and Ménière's disease too

I have developed Eustachian tube dysfunction from catching colds and I believe it's caused my tinnitus because I first noticed the ringing after catching two colds within a month and I also get very bad ear pain and blockage when the airplane is landing ... have been on 11 flights this year and...

Hi everyone, I saw an audiologist a few days ago and the first thing he asked me was how much salt do you eat. Apparently it has a lot to do with the level of tinnitus... and the lower the sodium the better and that anyone with ringing in their ears should see an improvement after cutting out...

Thanks Michael no I never use headphones but sometimes I use earplugs (the ones that come with the iPhone)... are those ok?

Saw an audiologist today for a proper test and everything is normal. Seeing an ENT next week. The audiologist said to reduce salt as it can increase sodium in the cochlear ... never knew that and also said sometimes tinnitus with no hearing loss is stress related and the more one thinks or...

Excellent report by you and pretty much sums it all up. Thanks :)

Yes definelty an alllergic reaction. The last time I ate an avocado was ten years ago. I'm seeing an allergist in two weeks time for the skin prick test. ENT next week.

No never at all and never used to in the past either... I've noticed it's louder in the right ear and when I'm lying down on my right ear the noise is reduced but when I'm lying on my left it's louder and now I'm worried about acoustic tumours.

I'm a very light sleeper too and have always used an app called SleepAidFan it's like a fan noise to block out external noises ... I connect it to my Bluetooth speaker so the sound is diffused and sounds exactly like I have a fan on ... having said that I tend to use foam earplugs when...

Thanks so much for the link I'll check it out... I usually turn on the A/C to filter out allergens in the house and keep all windows and doors closed and am thinking of buying an air purifier.

Oh wow ... it increased after the augmentin but I needed it for my ears ...

I work as an interpreter and I take calls during the day but I always have the mobile or landline on speaker and very rarely use earphone unless I'm out and about and even then it's on a low volume... I don't think my job has caused it as it started after my hay fever flare up and two colds in a...

Hi all, I've joined this forum hoping to find some answers to my questions and some support. I'm from Australia and it's currently spring here... we had a lot of windy days and fires and smoke in September and I noticed my hay fever flared up (I have some allergies) then I caught two colds one...
