I Can Stop My Tinnitus Putting Pressure on My Teeth

[nuno1976]

Hi all,

Already described my case here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/help-with-what-i-think-is-pulsatile-tinnitus.25008/

But I just wanted to share, something that seems to be quite rare.
If I close my teeth the way you see it on the picture, i.e. doing extra pressure on the right side (where I have my T), I virtually stop my pusatile whooshing Tinnitus.

Is there any explanation for this?
I have read is common to modulate Tinnitus doing neck or jaw maneuvers, but my cause seems different cause I don't change the pitch, actually I can stop the high pitche whoosh sound.

Any idea? Any help?

Thanks and a great Christmas to all!

You have a large somatic component in your T, and perhaps indicate a TMJ factor or perhaps nothing. It might be worth to check with a TMJ specialist. Do yo have any hearing loss on your right ear?

simpe audiograms test, a impedance audiometry test and a specic Tinnitus exam.
