Hi people,
So my problems started 6 months ago. I am 33 years old.
Two or three weeks after ending manual therapy (not chiro and not physical therapy, but more of a neurological approach with pressing special points on the muscles), I noticed a standard ringing tinnitus in right ear. I blame manual therapy for this because effect of it is delayed. Therapist noticed that neck vertebrae and atlas are misaligned. Now I think I should have left it misaligned.
This got me frustrated and I made a neck movement, similar to whiplash. I did a chin tuck and then I leaned my head backwards, possibly tilted it also to the side.
Then this pulsatile sound came, it was like a hiss, with squealing sound at the end.
Since then it is changing all the time, even from minute to minute, it depends on the activity, neck position, head position... Sometimes is more noticeable, sometimes it is quieter, sometimes is just hissing, sometimes is squealing...
It is accompanied with continuous ringing which is also changing. Ringing, white noise, whistling...
There are times I notice 3 different sounds in my right ear, 1. pulsatile sound, 2. continuous ringing (almost like it is in my head) and 3. soft whistling which fluctuates. it whistles for 3 seconds, then it stops, then it whistles again...
Often in the morning when I first wake up is like it is gone, but after I move my neck or head it becomes noticeable and becomes louder as the day goes on.
I had MRA of neck and head, they found nothing. ENT was useless.
I don't know if I got used to it, but I think it is 10 % better than at the beginning. But then I have days when I think it is still almost the same.
I become a little bit depressed, I have less energy, less will, I am less fun.
And all day I just listen to this sound hoping it will get better or one day just suddenly disappear.
I need advice on which tests should I do? Which things to try? I definitely moved or touched something in my neck or atlas.
Thank you,
Rok
