Hi @LilSass - hope you’re well. It’s been another month, and I’m wondering if you have experienced any additional changes after your AtlasPROfilax treatment? I’m finally starting to coordinate the treatment myself, had been focused on some physical therapy that seems to confirm a...

I am happy to hear that you’re feeling good about the treatment and am hopeful you’ll see more positive results emerge. I agree with your sentiment that when it comes to treatment, particularly physically aggressive ones, sometimes things get worse before they get better. When your body gets...

@LilSass, how’d it go?

Weed remains a lifesaver for me. It definitely does not improve my tinnitus, and if anything it makes it louder with the heightened sensations that generally come with it, but it helps me mellow out and feel less overwhelmed by the tinnitus. And if I do something distracting along with it, I can...

Not yet, but you know I’m rooting for you, and am excited to hopefully hear your positive results. Good luck!

Congratulations! This post made me incredibly happy to read, and I am glad you wrote it. Thank you! Did you have any other symptoms associated with the tinnitus, in your ears or otherwise? Happy for your relief and hopeful for more to come for this whole community.

Hang in there. My tinnitus started after a bad sinus infection, and the worst part is the psychological impact at the outset. Particularly where ENTs are so dismissive, it can feel isolating and beyond discouraging. It gets better, how much and when no one can say, but it does. I would suggest...

Thanks for the shout here. I’m excited for the possible relief, to tinnitus and/or my other symptoms, that may be possible. Seeing a physical therapist for some trigger point/myofascial massage later this week before getting into some chiro treatment.

I checked the NUCCA website and unfortunately they aren’t in Germany, but I bet there is some equivalent. The big difference is just that it isn’t that high velocity whipping action of the neck, and is focused on the cervical spine. My doctor says the whipping action can cause strokes, though...

Glass isn’t on the NUCCA website, though I don’t think it matters. Ultimately you just want someone who is doing something other than the high velocity cracking. I was going to go to AMAYU in midtown, because it was the closest one to my office when I searched the NUCCA website. I wouldn’t...

A belated welcome to the community @tenforce. I am also curious about what type of chiro you saw, NUCCA or regular (who just focused on your cervical spine). My current working theory is focused on chiropractic treatments and their connection to the nasal cavities, in particular the Eustachian...

Yes, it’s very good advice to make sure you’re chasing objective factors. I’m sorry to hear that was your experience and I wish you the best.

Yeah, I don’t understand either why there is a connection between your spine and your nasal cavity, but apparently there is. After my first chiropractic adjustment, my nasal cavities started to move again, and I could hear fluid moving in new ways and my soft palate was engaging in a way it...

Hi @LilSass - I too have done a lot of research before deciding to take the plunge, and am planning on coordinating an AtlasPROfilax treatment in the new year. I haven’t tried an upper cervical chiropractor or a trigger point massage yet, two things I’m also interested in exploring, so will...

@Lilah - did the chiropractic work have any impact on your tinnitus or any other related health issues you may have? I am encouraged that I really felt the effects of my first “regular” chiro treatment. It didn’t impact my tinnitus immediately, but clearly moved things in the area of my broad...

Hi @Lilah - my tinnitus has evolved over time with some of my conditions. It started on my left, and was more of an intense ringing with other layers of sounds underneath, and has moved to both ears but has mellowed into more of a hissing/ringing that moves mostly in line with my heartbeat. I...

Thanks @Lane, and I’m sorry to hear of your additional complications but happy you’ve found a self-administered maintenance plan that helps. I feel cautiously optimistic that AtlasPROfilax, or something focusing on the C1, will provide me some relief. Like you noted, I’ve been very tender at...

That’s right @Juan - for me, I was lying on my back and they would turn/tilt my head toward one shoulder then whip it to the other side quickly, cracking my neck (to use very oversimplified language that I know chiros object to). My understanding is this could impact some of the veins in the...

Thanks @Lane - I saw a number of your posts on this topic since my discovery. I am confident that cervical instability is a factor, if not the cause of, my issues since: - I’ve always had bad posture, - an MRI (and chiro) confirmed the loss of my lordaric curve, - I have a number of other...

I just passed my second year anniversary with T that started after a nasal and ear infection. My backstory is included in other posts, so I won’t repeat it here. A few weeks ago I discovered the first thing that seemed to have a notable impact on my symptoms. This was visiting a chiropractor...

My tinnitus experience started after a sinus infection that spread to my ear. It’s been one year since it’s started, and the progress, while meaningful, has been so imperceptibly slow that I need to remind myself of how bad it was to appreciate where I am now. But I’m grateful for that, and...

I also want to reiterate billie48’s good point. Perhaps it’s because stress seems an inevitable cause/aggravator for my tinnitus, I’ve definitely seen a decrease in sound (or at least a decrease in the amount it distresses me) as a result of my efforts to ignore it instead of letting it stress...

Thanks Billie48. My evolving working theory is that my tinnitus was a result of the sinus infection, but exacerbated by the stress I had/have been experiencing. As such, I’m working on building confidence that this will develop in a positive direction. One peculiar thing I noticed that can...

Hi all - I’ve been poking around on this site for a few weeks after some tinnitus appeared suddenly. It’s been really cool to see this community for tinnitus sufferers, and I’m finally introducing myself. I’m a late-30s male who recently started experiencing tinnitus, seemingly primarily or...
