Thank you @tiniturtle. I didn't know you could sacrifice an entire vein, this is very new to me.

Hi @Stillsearching, how does one seal off the vein? Are we talking about an embolization or a coiling? Would this lead to other problems like higher intracranial pressure?

@Lane I am based in Singapore and unfortunately Atlasprofilax isn’t available here. Do you know where I can get such treatment in Asia?

I started hearing a hissing sound when I turn my neck to the right and to the left after a chiropractic neck adjustment, and with certain head rotations. My pulsatile hissing is light a punctured tire at certain head positions and with certain muscle contractions. Compression the carotid...

@Stillsearching Did your doctor propose a treatment plan? My neuro radiologist diagnosed that I have internal jugular vein stenosis, to be treated through medication.

Dear Dr Nagler, I have been experiencing high pitched humming with certain neck positions over the last 5 weeks. This arose immediately after a chiropractic neck adjustment. A neuro radiologist carried out a DSA on me and diagnosed me as having internal jugular vein stenosis. He tells me that...

Hi @Greg Sacramento Thank you so much for your kind advise, this is very much appreciated!

Hi @Tinniger My tinnitus is pulsatile and unilateral, which I got immediately after chiro neck manipulation. I hear a high pitch hiss (punctured tire) which spikes when I bend my neck in certain directions or contract certain muscles (all pointing towards the left side of my neck where the...

Hi @ThomasC What did you mean by "compressing your jaw"? Did you mean "compressing your jaw muscle"? I think the distinguishing points are as follows: 1. If you can make it quiet by on a muscle strongly contracting your jaw or neck muscle, AND pressing on the side of your neck (to suppress...

Thank you @Greg Sacramento. Would you have an idea why my neurosurgeon would talk about the more invasive DSA, rather than a CTA or MRA to detect any vascular problems? Should I push back or go for the lost aggressive approach?

Hi @Greg Sacramento - Thank you for your technical response. May I clarify your point on "vertebral artery trauma" as I'm not certain that I fully comprehend. I tried to read up on your posts on the subject but this didn't help my confusion. Are we talking about possible "dissection" (I...

Dear @Autumnwillows, sending you my positive vibes and love. If you find that your issue is partly attributable to anxiety or panic, do consider discussing with a doctor as to whether antidepressants that deal with anxiety might help to tide you through this rough patch. Once you get back on...

Hi @Chris Roberts May I clarify what you meant by "electricity in head"? Did you mean a "whooshing static hissing", or literally "electric zaps"? I too am experiencing the "whoosing" kind of tinnitus when I contract certain muscles, and this started immediately after a chiropractic neck...

Hi @Tinniger I just saw your response in your thread on how chiropractic manipulation might cause some vascular dissection leading to blood flow problems and pulsatile tinnitus. Hoping its some sort of fistula or the like (I think a dissection is much more serious and can lead to a stroke?). See...

Hi @Greg Sacramento @tiniturtle @oceanofsound26 @Jazzer @Michael Leigh @Kaelon I consulted with a neurosurgeon today, who asked me whether my tinnitus was pulsatile, which made me realize that my bothersome tinnitus had always been the pulsatile kind. This was why my research always felt...

Wow @MrTX and @Hemda. Your symptoms are so strikingly similar to mine (https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-from-chiropractic-neck-adjustment-3-weeks-ago.40098/#post-514405) Particularly, the fact that: (i) I have a static type of hissing (ii) Strange ear fullness I'm not sure whether...

Hi @Tinniger, @Suzerman and other fellow "somatic" tinnitus warriors, may I consult you on a query? I am wondering if my tinnitus falls into a separate category altogether. Many people come forward to say they have tinnitus that can be "modulated". However in my case, my tinnitus is provoked...

Thank you @oceanofsound26 ans @Michael Leigh. @oceanofsound26 May I know if in your view, given that I do not have any neck pain, that I could be be in the category of needing treatment for “chronically contracted, weakened, inhibited, underused, overused, and/or that need to be activated”...

@AnnawithaT Curiously, I'm actually envious of people who had developed tinnitus as a result of a cold / Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Seems to me that such problems with most certain resolve, and the tinnitus will definitely go away. There are many examples of complete recovery under such...

Hi @oceanofsound26 Your responses are very helpful to me, especially during these troubling times. If I may say so, I think that my inability to get over my somatic tinnitus and relax lies in the fact that I have been unable to forgive myself (and the chiropractor) for the neck adjustment. But...

Hi @AnnawithaT I had raised this question previously on another thread, as I will soon be starting physiotherapy with a new therapist and anticipate that he or she will be me bringing me through these exercises, but would you happen to know if one should be stretching the muscles so as to...

Thank you @AnnawithaT! An ortho did perform an MRI on my neck. I have a slight leftward bulge at C4/5 and C5/6, but ortho says it is unlikely that my nerves are pinched. He did tell me to do an MRA though to check the blood flow as I seem to have some pulsatile tinnitus, which irked me a little...

May I seek the advise of the veterans on the forum? I have not been sleeping over the past 3 weeks since I developed somatic tinnitus as a result of a chiropractic neck adjustment. 1. Should I play masking music for 30 minutes only to fall asleep, or play the music until in wake up? I put on...

Dear @Michael Leigh, I have been researching on this forum and have particularly benefited from your advise and kind natured positivity to certain other members of the forum, in particular the fact that too much aggravation might lead to more damage to my neck and make my tinnitus permanent. I...

So it would seems that my kind of somatic tinnitus isn’t very common? Any thoughts and advice will be much appreciated... :)

Thank you @Deamon22, I guess it depends on whether one’s somatic tinnitus at resting position is bothersome. You are very lucky :)

Dear friends, This is my first post after loads of research on the forum. I'm still trying to gather my thoughts and formulate a game plan, but the past 3 weeks have been rough, given that I just came out of a panic attack. I do not have a scientific background, and hence am doing my best to...

Hi @Bill Bauer Would you happen to know if the spontaneous recovery stats apply to somatic tinnitus acquires through a chiropractic neck adjustment? I had one done 3 weeks ago which led to somatic to tinnitus which is affecting me quite a bit. Thank you!

@Deamon22 I acquired Somatic tinnitus 3 weeks ago from a chiropractic neck adjustment, and somehow your story encouraged me a lot. I too can generate a new high pitched hissing when I turn my head to the extreme left or rotate my head to the left and bend forward. May I know if your somatic...

I read an article on gaze induced tinnitus, where it was discovered that exercising your gaze in the direction which induced the tinnitus eventually resolved the tinnitus in a few weeks. The whole idea of dry needling for somatic tinnitus also seems also to be to stipulate the muscles so they...

I am always encouraged to read about success stories for somatic tinnitus. I don’t come across many of these, but I am hopeful that my neck movement induced Tinnitus, which is 3 weeks old from a single chiropractic neck adjustment, will eventually resolve. I am pursuing physiotherapy, dry...

Hopeful this will be transient
