Hey guys. I woke up about 2 months ago with crazy ringing in my right ear. I naturally freaked out and spiralled into an insane anxiety and depression.
Went to tons of specialists all who gave me different diagnosis. Finally my third ENT told me I had tmj since I clench my teeth at night.
So I started sleeping with my mouth open consciously and now I wake up in complete silence.
Throughout the day it does get gradually louder from chewing, talking and smoking cigarettes. However, I'm confident once I treat the TMJ with a dentist or perhaps chiropractor, it will no longer be an issue.
One thing that really helped me was to refer to at as "the ringing in my ear" instead of calling it "my t". This allowed me to distance myself from it in a way.
Cheers guys.

. Only wish that I would have gone to my dentist about bruxism a lot earlier. Would have saved me A LOT of suffering.
I wish you the best of luck with your recovery, and let's hope it'll be a short one.
