After Starting to Use Temple Massager, My Tinnitus Is Slightly Better

[Pax]

I've stumbled upon a product called Temple Massager. It's a simple non-electronic (no noise) gadget that allows me to ease tension in the jaw area.

I'm seeing a physiotherapist that has set me up with a number of jaw exercises all aimed to relieve jaw tension. It's hard to isolate a specific factor but I think the exercises have given me some real benefit. I've now added the massager as part of my routine and it's quite a nice experience. While doing the massage I tend to focus less on the tinnitus and more on the stimuli from the massage (any distraction from the tinnitus is a welcomed one!).

Since I got the device I'd say that my tinnitus is a little better. It doesn't mean it's due to the new massage routine, it could be a coincidence but even if it's just the temporary relief I'm glad I got it and I thought I should add a post here in case it could benefit someone else.

How are you doing now? Any update?

Hi Cbush,

Thank you for asking. I'm mostly OK. I've continued with the exercises but it's hard to say how much of a difference they make. I have quite large variations of how bothered I am by my tinnitus but I've had a very hard time to correlate it to anything special.

How are you doing?

Thanks for responding. I had a severe loud and prolonged noise hit me a few weeks ago and my tinnitus is hitting me hard. I'm looking for any relief. Any thoughts on a remedy at least to soften the tinnitus? Anything that works?

Thanks and stay in touch.
