This year will mark the 7th year I have had tinnitus. I've recently learned this year that my neck has 4 herniated discs. Some worse then others. When this all started, it started with clear cut signs of neck issues (typical arm and shoulder pain) which I had no idea were neck issues. I've...

So I learned that my tooth, that I had a root canal done on, now has an infection. My tinnitus started the same night I had a root canal done almost 7 years ago. Unfortunately, even though the tooth is not hurting (the infection has been draining through a fistula for over a year now), needs to...

Hey guys, I have not really been here a lot as I've not needed to come back for "Support" per se. I've sort of just been ignoring my tinnitus and going on with my days, without having to think about it or getting that urge to come here in a panic. I'm trying to catch up on some of the alerts...

I'm still here but not necessarily active on this forum as I once was. I hope sharing my video helps a bit for my story. It's a few months old but it's still relevant today. Things are better for me but the "T" is still there. There are days where I just have learned to ignore it. Being in a...

I'm 100% positive this has nothing to do with my ears. I never put myself in the situation for ear damage and it didn't come about at all during any concerts or loud noises. I only notice it though when it's really quiet now.

I wish I knew why it happened. One night, it just started. I deal with chronic liver issues and have been on medication for it. Ever since I started the medication (Viread/Tenofovir), it has been reduced drastically. I suspect there is a big link there.

That feeling that you get, when the T disappears for 2 minutes COMPLETELY without any reason... is amazing. There's the disappearing when you do TRT or masking or anything in particular to make it go away temporarily. Then there's this. You know that whatever happened, is almost gone. You know...

Nothing to celebrate about... however it's good to see that it's been reduced, A LOT. The worst was probably at 4-6 months in. Anyway, wanted to share and if anyone had questions feel free to ask. I did experience some relief a few times when I thought it went away. No such luck in keeping it...

I usually stay out of damaging environments as much as I can. Believe it or not, my T did not come about after any loud noises. Odd, I know, but it's true. I have my theories.

I loved every minute of it. The other day, I was sitting at my PC at home and decided to munch on some baby carrots. As I was munching, something interesting happened. The noise... it went away!! I was so happy about this. Granted, I have been severely reduced over the past year but this was the...

No real change from this past April. It's pretty much stayed the same but I'm dealing with it better and trying what I can to "get rid of it". I'm strongly considering Accupuncture for it but money is tight right now. The good news is, it's not bothering me at all so this is a big step in the...

It's been a while since I've checked on here, mainly because I haven't let my "T" bother me. I wanted to come in here to give some people hope and some thoughts to tell them that it DOES get better as time goes along. Just keep at it and keep trying to fight to discover the root cause of your T...

I just wanted to share with most. I've flown twice in the past month. This is the first time I have flown with T. The first time was up to Boston from NJ (and back). It was quick and painless. The second one was over to LAX. My T did spike a little but barely noticeable due to the noise from...

I don't know how... and I don't know why. Unless it's really quiet, I can't hear my T! Not that I am complaining, it needs to be completely gone though. I just wanted to share some positive news. I know I was taking Tinnicare for about 2 months. I just stopped it for about 6 days while on...

Jeannie, just wanted to see how you're doing a month later with this stuff. Anything to share?

Before I go ahead with this, just wanted to see who has tried it and if it made any improvement, made anything worse, completely cleared it, etc.

Careful buying into that adjustment. The wrong move and your brain step could snap/tear. It will leave you paralyzed if it does. I contemplated atlas orthogonal at some point until I heard it was just all a hoax and could do more damage than before.

Can anyone else listen and tell me if their's goes away to when listening? Now if it can only STAY AWAY

I am thinking the same thing, especially with neck surgery. I do some disc decompression therapy on myself at home but strongly considering all options other than chiro. My neck isn't in "pain" though. Anyway, I think accupuncture to see if I can clear or help the T will be beneficial first...

So as I site here, my T sometimes spikes and sometimes is barely noticeable. I remember the first time I had T, I was lying in bed the same night of my root canal and then clenched really hard that a flash of light came in my head and my T started since then. It got progressively WORSE over...

I have 2 flights to hop on to. One in about a month (a short 1 hour hop to Boston just to make sure I can handle flying) and one in 2 months, a 6 hour flight to California. What can I expect with my T and flying? I'm worry about any dizzy effects I might get to be honest. What can I do to...

Thanks for sharing nogood. I got all 4 wisdom teeth taken out in 2005, this was well before my T. I got knocked out and they did it and I never had a problem. If you live in NJ, I can reccommend you the guy I went to... Funny you mentioned you mistaken the issue with an autoimmune issue. I...

Jeanie, thanks for sharing! The one I want to go to, as you ssw the link, wants to do the TENS and then the K7 Unit to check the bite. I'm still skeptical. He wants to make a lower mouthguard for me to help with the bite and reduce the force of impact. I already have an upper which seems to help...

Jeannie, how did that appt go? Any luck with the neuro dentist? I have yet to decide whether I want to go through with this or not. My jaw does click/pop when I move it from side to side though. I have no silver fillings in my mouth, so I can rule this out as the source of my T. I have 2 crowns...

@davidchampoux sorry for a late response. While my tinnitus is still there, I can safely say I do not have lymes. I'm on the fence that either my liver issue or an even bite is causing my tinnitus.

Sounds like the same thing he wants to do to me. He showed me some stuff and said that while my jaw may not be totally out of whack, it could be just enough along with the uneven bite to throw my system out of whack. I'm a little nervous about a TENS unit to be honest, especially with an...

Already tried the chiropractic approach. I was worse after that.

I don't have a problem sleeping

I'm not worried so much about the money as I am about putting on a TENS unit for 3 hours

Thanks for the feedback all. I'm still uncertain what to do. I have a lot of these underlying symtoms. Whether they are related to the jaw not being aligned and might bite being off, is unknown. All I know is that I'm still messed up 3 days after detal work back in 2013.

I actually belong to the gym, but not sure a gym will be able to correct my bite :P I am doing some Yoga streches and they seem to help.

I can certainly give you info... and here it is: http://www.designsfordentalhealth.com/services/tmj.php Exactly from his site!

I went to the best TMJ Specialist in my state. Ironically, the guy was right down the road from me. I told him all my symptoms and he checked my bite. Sure enough, my oen side was touching before the other. He said after my dental work, my bite remained off and he had an alternative approach to...

I just ran across this article and was wondering if anyone has given this a shot. It's pretty much what I experience on a daily basis after dental work, some days worse than others. http://www.joms.org/article/S0278-2391(13)00304-2/abstract A 66-year-old man presented with impaired balance...

... but unfortunately, came back within 2 minutes. The silence was glorious. I was tempted to go ahead and not do ANYTHING after that. What I learned from this is that biting down on my salad like this, was on the right hand side. The same side I had dental work done. I'm starting to wonder if...

Sorry for the late response. Atlas Orthogonal is a method used where they set you up on a machine and realign your C1 to be straight and in positition. They have a special 3D xray they take which can see both of these. I'd be careful though, realigning may actually cause an issue with your...

Been a while since I've been here. I have not done this in a while. Sorry about the neck pain. The stretches should be designed to reduce it. Ever consider getting your neck checked out?

The first time I stopped hearing mine was walking through some scenic park near my house. I remember, as I walked, BOOM... it was gone. I heard it all. Birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves in the trees, water running. Even that wasn't happening, I still heard no T. It was amazing and listed me...

It's a VERY long story... I'll save you the trouble and keep is short. I'm not just looking for the source of tinnitus but for some other issues that came about with it. I've been through it all this past year. Neurologists, dentists, ENTs, MDs, Internists, physical therapists, infectious...

So I did just that! And look at these results: C3-4 broad-based disc herniation wih significant cord impingement C4-5 disc bulge without signigicant stenosis, very mild stenosis C5-6 disc bulge resulting in cord compression and bilateral C6 root impingement C6-7 central disc herniation...

Saw my doctor today for a follow up with my MRI and he revealed the following: C3-4 broad-based disc herniation wih significant cord impingement C4-5 disc bulge without significant stenosis, very mild stenosis C5-6 disc bulge resulting in cord compression and bilateral C6 root impingement C6-7...

And I'm not sure what it is! I'd say about a 40% decrease at this point and I feel like it keeps going down. So I'm going to list possible causes for the decrease: 1.) I started to take Vitamin C at 1500mcg a day 2.) I increased my Vitamin D levels to 20,000iu a day 3.) I changed my Vitamin...

I'll keep you guys posted. On top of the MRI, I'm also doing a test for lymes to rule out the issues at hand. We'll see!

I suspect it's my neck, because I keep feeling like my neck has to be pulled back. So I finally caved in and am getting an MRI done on the neck. We'll see. My Ortopedic doctor says the neck and ears are very connected and said it could be a major muscle strain still or could be stenosis. Worst...

The best solution I found? Keep putting yourself in the situation. Once you adapt and get used to it, you will learn to enjoy it.

My T really has not been driving me crazy, more than other symptoms have been doing so (weakened neck/back). So the past few days, I decided to see if I could keep my neck straight and in place by wearing a neck brace at night and during sleep. Yup, that does the trick. 3 days into it and I...

So last night, after a busy couple of days, I got home and while playing around on my computer in a quiet room..BAM. The tinnitus went away for a good couple of hours. Of course, it spiked back like a fierce lion towards the evening after I ate popcorn. Must have been the salt lol Wonder what...

As a Rangers fan myself, who suffers from tinnitus, I want to offer you advice. I recently go to a NY Giants Pre-season game and have Giants season tickets. Funny enough, my mind is distracted enough during the events for me to forget about the tinnitus. Try focusing on talking with people...

I already have one that he made me. Been using it since March, no real improvement. Ironically, I didn't have any of those issues BEFORE I had my second crown placed. They came about after.

Circling back on this, starting the procedure for new crowns on Monday

.. I noticed it reduces when I walk and/or exercise. At times, it's completely gone when I do this. Most if not all of my tinnitus happens when I am sitting down. If I stand, it's almost gone away. This leads me to believe a neck or back issue may be a root cause of this, so I am going to...

I decided to give it a shot, to see if I really needed the air filter machine in my room to use as a masker for my tinnitus. Being that I've been able to sleep in hotel rooms without this stuff, I should be able to sleep at home too. Sure enough, sleeping was not an issue! Actually, sleeping...

Just an update, I had my regular DDS take care of this last night. He was able to see where the occlusal interference was and where the bite was too high. He got it as perfect as he could by actually adjusting the crowns this time. I felt fine until later that night, when I seemed to have a...

Thanks, @stickywicket after thinking, I decided to call the prosthodontist. He said he was on vacation for a week and that if I were to come back in, he'd have to do a full dental exam on me to get this done (after he was going to do this on my consent the other day? huh?) He then told me that...

@stickywicket wanted to update you and the rest on this story. I seeked out a prosthodontist and had the appointment with him yesterday. He spent time on my teeth, in particular the area with my crowns. He said that in fact, one of the crowns was too high (Tooth #30). While he could have...

@Amy I don't want to scare you with my story, but my T started right after my root canal :( The best advice I can give you, if you're really nervous about it, take Xanax! The dentist can actually prescribe it for you. Also, when they are done putting the temporary fillings in, make sure they are...

Thanks @stickywicket and yes, I am almost positive these issues are from my misaligned bite and possibly from the crowns themselves. It'll be good to see what happens, only 4 more days to hang in there. Also, the tinnitus started 6-7 months before my antivirals. If anything, the antivirals...

Hi @stickywicket unfortunately no improvements, at least nothing drastic. Like you, I went to my dentist first. He's done an "adjustment" twice. I'm still convinced my bite being wrong is causing these issues. I'm seeing the prosthodonist on Tuesday. I may opt to also have my crowns replaced for...

@LadyDi good news, I have an appointment with a specialist on Tuesday!

Figured I'd share this bit of info too! http://www.dentalcarestamford.com/ear_brochure.html Nice article. Gives me hope mine can be cured, since it started around this time. Guess it's time to see a specialist!
