    I wish I had more answers for you. Follow the advice of physiotherapists, beware of those claiming to cure your tinnitus and capitalise on your distress. Most physiotherapists probably won't claim to help, somatic tinnitus is not well enough understood and they may not know about it or want to...

    Somatic Tinnitus GONE / CURED

    When I first started physio mine did this. Really quiet for an hour or two afterwards and then back with a vengeance later. Then the next day it would either be really bad or really up and down. Now mine just spikes and/or changes tones during and after the exercises, then it settles down. The...

    Somatic Tinnitus: Is It BAD to Move Into the Body Position That Causes an Increase in Tinnitus?

    Somatic Tinnitus GONE / CURED

    Sounds like something has got pinched when they're yanked your neck. I would be confident that it should go back, if you can I would find someone to MRI your neck and see if there is a pinched nerve or something there.

    I just remember them mentioning that their neck needed surgery but the doctor said their heart wasn't up to it. I don't know if it's relevant to their tinnitus but... I included everything I could remember :)

    Somatic Tinnitus GONE / CURED

    I posted a video in a support group and asked members, if they wanted, to try it and let everyone know how it affected their tinnitus (if at all). Because it was one that affects mine a lot. Group exercise. Anyway... There was a member who had had tinnitus for 3 years, I believe they thought...

    Is Your Tinnitus Touch Reactive?

    Hi everybody, My tinnitus started out as noise only when I touched the right side of my face and neck. I ignored it to be honest because it didn't bother me and I had no other issues to link it to. I googled it and nothing came up, so I assumed it was some weird nerve issue, got on with my...
