Tinnitus and the Neck

[Leo1994]

Hi!
I got my tinnitus due loud noise exposure and I've had it for 10 years now.
I am 19 years old and recently I have been starting to train real hard at the gym.
4 days ago I trained my shoulders and I noticed while training shoulders that my neck also got a lot of pressure. When I got home i noticed how my tinnitus has gotten louder and I belive it is because of tension in the neck.
What can I do and what do you people think?

This is called somatic tinnitus. It's quite normal that T sound can be modulated and increased / decreased with movements of the head and jaw. Here's one thread about somatic T - https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/somatic-tinnitus.812/

But, will it get better?

of course, these mini spikes due to efforts usually subside after a few minutes.

If you mean that can somatic T be cured, in some cases yes. Here's another review article about somatic T worth reading - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3129953/

I am pretty familiar with somatic tinnitus. Its just I have had these kind of spikes before, but this time, I have had louder tinitus for 4 days (usally it only last minitus like when i press my jaw). Might this be due tension in my neck, and if so, how long does it take before the tension dissapear.

My chiropractor has tinnitus and sometimes after a work out, he says his tinnitus gets worse. He said that it gets worse due to cranial pressure. But a good way to get relief is to get a chiropractic adjustment.... not that it will go away, but it will be relieved.
