Has anyone here developed muscle soreness after tinnitus onset? (Noise induced).

It's hard to describe, but my neck, tongue/jaw are slightly sore, as If I was jutting out my lower jaw for a long period of time.

Almost difficult to breathe.
 
You may be clenching and/or grinding (bruxism). This can cause tinnitus. You need to see a doctor. It could be anything...
Mine is certainly noise induced... but perhaps I'm clenching in my sleep? I never have before. Doesn't seem to be that but I don't know. It's just odd to be sore in general...

It's like as if my jaw was open wide and tongue all the way out for a while... those muscles are what feels sore.

Are the glands at the front of your neck swollen and or sore?

before we assume this, we need to know if this person has a history of noise exposure, and he does. So why can't this be caused by noise injury?

No gland involvement that I can tell. Another comparison I could give is pushing your tongue against the roof of your mouth hard for a long time.

It's just like those muscles are fatigued. I wonder if it's the trazodone I take for sleep... I'm going to taper off and see if this improves.

My T is definitely noise induced but I also have bruxism and a somatic element. One ENT doc I saw couldn't get his head around how it was possible to have both.

Don't worry I'm not wasting my time on any new doctor's appointments apart from my favourite general practitioner...
 
I got off the trazodone and that went away. Just FYI. Great drug for me for sleep and helped a little with the depression at onset. But yeah, I had those weird feelings of like a tongue fatigue or something. Anyway I got off it and it subsided.
