I am not vaccinated, never contracted COVID-19 and my problems started when I was locked at home for 9 months, without using headphones or other loud things. I have also never been to any concert before that and that's all basically.

I have never survived any noise damage. This is most likely not my cause.

Update. I suspect the cause of my tension headaches is the intense spasm of the muscles on my temples. The pain from temples fires into whole head from there. No idea how to fix that though. Not my priority however.

It sounds rather bizzare. Are you sure you do not have TMJ or something? That's more likely a potential cause.

Yes, only a bit though, assuming you have a lot of earwax inside. Technically, the tinnitus stays the same but because you will hear better, it will fade and it will feel more silent when in not totally quiet places. It is the same principle like hearing aids for tinnitus "masking" by...

IDK. When I am in complete silence and suddenly some loud noise happens (like when a plastic bottle pops) then my tensor tympani fire to the point it is very unpleasing, almost hurting. But when I am at some extremely loud place, like a concert, I do not have any problems with tensor tympani at...

Update. It is still there. Not sure if it got better. The thing is that I probably know the cause. Apart from tinnitus and this I have massive bilateral ear pain that is most likely due to a TMJ disorder. The pain started when my tinnitus started, but got worse and worse over the months...

An update. I was diagnosed with TMJ. Wearing TMJ splint for 3 weeks, so far the only symptom that got noticeably better is ear fullness.

Maybe if it is soft enough. Mine is so loud and so bad when I am in complete silence I feel like it is choking me. Like literally I feel like I am going to be suffocated by my tinnitus.

I wish I got no awards on Tinnitus talk and no reason to post there.

Is it possible to scan cervical spine for tinnitus? By some MRI or something?

Interesting how studies about covid vac are done on 30.000 people and tinnitus studies on like 15.

Sources say there is 200 causes of tinnitus. Is anywhere a complete list?

I think there is a surgery where the surgeon puts some isolation material between the nerve and the vessel. But it is dangerous though.

The problem with masking high pitch tinnitus is that it can only be masked with something equally ugly. And also when tinnitus is high pitched, it is not only about the noise but the feeling of pain or fullness. I have ultra high pitch oscillating tinnitus and it's an abomination.

They don't send people to MRI for acoustic neuroma only. They also look for something they call "vessel crossing" which is a condition when a blood vessel is touching the acoustic nerve from some reason. This can also cause tinnitus and maybe it is more prevalent than the neuroma.

A brief list of my progress so far. If anyone is interested. List of potential causes (not means it has been proven to not be a cause): Noise trauma - no hearing loss so probably not Ear infection - not Eustachian Tube Dysfunction - not Earwax - not Acoustic neuroma - not Neuro-vascular...

Hello, I have some weird problem with my neck. I would say it started slowly a year ago when we entered lockdown and I was doing school from my bed and my table through my laptop. I think the continuous looking down made my neck broken. Now I feel like my neck is always hard, like your arm...

How is possible that my tinnitus is pretty well masked by human speech and water but I can crank up white noise and does nothing for me

You know that famous study about one guy who had tinnitus for 20 years and they gave him cervical collar and it cured him? I wan't to try it

The bad thing is that I even dehabituated from pre-spike tone. It was unnoticed for a year, and now I notice it all the time

I fear that stress/anxiety/cervical spine induced tinnitus is just trash diagnosis doctors say when they have no idea what is the real cause

A doc told me that overusing Ginkgo, Betahistine etc can cause low BP and headaches. I stopped taking it entirely and I feel better, weird.

Hey, I know this thread has been dead for years but I don't want to make a new one. I searched for neck tinnitus exercises on Google and some websites recommended this particular exercise for neck related tinnitus. I started doing this yesterday. Does anybody know how exactly this exercise...

I sometimes do neck exercise but always give up after few days of nothing happening. It would be cool to try it for at least a month.

Hi. I know that if you have tinnitus caused by cervical spine (neck region) issues, it probably won't go away on its own until you do something about it, and still it may take long time to get better. But I have a problem to find reliable material about treating neck tinnitus. There are only a...

If tympanometry doesn't damage one's ears there is no reason to think raves do. LOL.

Not sure if by reactive tinnitus you mean that beeping over water, hearing buzz when near electricity and other psycho shit. I have had that for 3 months and I would say I have habituated to that. I am not even panicking or being depressed about it. I just take it as life. Remember, there are...

I FEEL it is coming from my neck

So I watched one episode of Futurama today where Fry would date Amy and there was a scene where Professor asked Fry Do I hear wedding bells? And Fry with Amy said No. The Professor would then proceed to touch his ears sighing. So it looks like even in year 3000 where the show is set in there is...

Perhaps I should code a browser extension to stop me from going to TT or googling anything tinnitus related. Because I became addicted.

This is just morbid. They really think we are that stupid? That we suffer from tinnitus just because we think it is going to kill us? LOL. Of course it is not going to kill me (if it won't make me starve to death if I won't graduate due to tinnitus and won't get a job lol). But I say and what...

Hi. I think that the majority of people consider headaches to be the result of stress and anxiety caused by tinnitus. Also doctors, when I mention headaches, tell me "I can give you something to calm your nerves down" or so. But what if the headaches are caused directly by tinnitus, not just...

I think that hearing aids producers + audiologists are bigger enemies of serious tinnitus cure research than CBT providers.

java constant Integer.MAX_VALUE should be called my tinnitus loudness intensity

Life in 2030: "Hey boss, I got T. I bought X from Pharmacy and I will return to work a week later when I completely heal, bye!"

Everytime I read "Tinnitus is not a disease, just a symptom" ...

I saw your work and I am a bit shocked about it. Here in Europe, or at least in the country where I live, there is also a lot of weird, kinda expensive supplements being sold in pharmacies but none of them went so far like the Silencil, Synapse, and so on. I mean, paying a fake actor to play a...

I wonder if dysacusis is a Covid-19 symptom just like altered taste and smell like lots of post-covid people have.

I absolutely agree with this. Habituation is something that can be generalized to every chronic disease that does not get even worse over time and has no treatment. We poor people have no choice but to get used to the burden we have to carry and calling it a cure is a bad joke. What else we can...

Physical therapy is same snake oil like chiropracty change my mind

I found out my ear "fullness" is due to my jaw bone pressing against ear canal when sits in its natural position.

Alternative medicine vs normal one is like ThaumCraft vs Tekkit in some Minecraft modpack

Silencil looks like a mix of many herbs or substances that have some anecdotal reports of helping tinnitus like B12 or GABA, that are sometimes mentioned here. Perhaps it may help some 1% of people whose tinnitus is due to deficiency of any of these things but for the others it is really a scam...

No. As I said, no concerts and minimal use of headphones. I am a student. I work in silent environments only. Absolutely no idea how I could get ears damaged. I would understand if I had eyes damaged from reading all the time, but ears? I am puzzled. It feels like a person whose liver is...

Found out that Silencil is a basically a mixture of things in Treatments/Alternative Treatments section.

I understand but there is no reason why the hell my ears would have gotten damaged. Firstly, I am just 19. I have never been to concerts etc. Minimal to no use of headphones. I think that for such brutal tinnitus there must also be massive damage that I simply don't see where it would come...

Doctors love to treat patients like they are subject of their business but hate it when patients do the same.

Will OTO-313 help if someone's tinnitus doesn't originate from inner ear?

I wonder if there is a non-PLUS version and what it does lol.

Stopped ADs a week ago. Today it is the first day in 3 months I really have good mood despite tinnitus.

The concentration of COVID-19 among people is so low right now. Really, many antigen testing sites in my country report daily percentage of positive people at levels like 0.2% which is barely nothing. Therefore I think that if I wear mask, use hand sanitizers and keep a distance then the chance...
