    Persistent Middle Ear Rattling After Stapedius and Tensor Tympani Removal

    Hi @AnxiousJon, I take either Magnesium L-Threonate or Glycinate, and I do notice the intensity lessens. Fibre is an odd one, lol. I think my anxiety over the past 18 months has made things worse, as I became hyper-aware of my nervous system sounds. I first need to get that under control, so I...

    Persistent Middle Ear Rattling After Stapedius and Tensor Tympani Removal

    Hi @AnxiousJon, I also now have 24/7 myoclonus, along with hyperacusis and sound reactivity. It is strange how the ears seem to sync with rhythms. I have tried everything: dry needling, intraoral osteopathy, and acupuncture. I think Clonazepam may have created an echoing new sound and a whistle...

    Acoustic Shock → Misdiagnosis → PPPD: 18 Months of Pain and Finally a Way Out

    Hi @RattleKat, My story is similar to yours. Although my regular tinnitus morphed into palate sounds and what I call rattlesnake noises on both sides of my face. I also have a tucking sensation in my head, especially when I’m stressed or concentrating on things. I used a similar product called...

    2 Years of Somatic Tinnitus with Neck and TMJ Involvement: Looking for Advice and Experiences

    Hi @SueX, Thanks for your reply. My MEM, ear spasms, rattlesnake sounds, vibrating head, and super-fast steam trains running through it are out of control. I have some hearing loss, but in my opinion, it is not bad enough for hearing aids. The hearing aids did seem to settle the hyperacusis...

    How to Cope with Tinnitus After High-Frequency Hearing Loss?

    Hi @DimLeb, I am not exactly sure what triggered my MEM spasms. They are now ridiculously fast and feel like sparks being blown out of my ears, with a whistling ear and Bell’s thrown in. The only way I can stop it is by putting on very slow rhythmic delta wave music or something similar...

    2 Years of Somatic Tinnitus with Neck and TMJ Involvement: Looking for Advice and Experiences

    I have similar symptoms. It is very stressful. At present, I am seeing an Octogonal Atlas chiropractor. They use a different type of X-ray that shows misalignment of the C1 vertebra. Mine was about 90 percent out, which the X-ray clearly showed. Other chiropractors often do not know what to...

    Tinnitus Triggered by Muscle Tension, Neck Strain and Possible Nerve Damage

    How are you now, @Skybird? Has the massage helped? I’ve now realized that my severe symptoms are due to Clonazepam withdrawal. It’s hell.

    How to Cope with Tinnitus After High-Frequency Hearing Loss?

    Hi @SueX, Just wondering how your hearing is going. Have they managed to stop the pulsatile sound? I have similar issues. There is a right-sided neurovascular conflict seen at the trigeminal root entry zone, caused by the ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery. And, like you, there is...

    Unusual Pulsatile Tinnitus That Reacts to Sound

    I have this as well. Originally, I had tinnitus for eight years. Then clicking started in my head and ears. Now I have a constant pulsating sound, 24 hours a day, that syncs with my heartbeat. If I walk quickly, the sound speeds up. It resembles a metallic refrigerator hum. Strangely, it also...

    Experiencing Fullness, Echo, and Increased Tinnitus on One Side: Could It Be Autophony?

    How are you, Deb? I really feel for you. I have similar symptoms—now 24/7 middle ear myoclonus spasms that ring with a metallic sound, especially when I talk or eat. It also pulsates with my heartbeat, but sometimes it goes off like a machine gun. The beat can even follow my thoughts and...

    Please Don't Say There's No Cure for Tinnitus

    I hope you’re doing okay. I hope you’re recovering. I’m 17 months into chronic, constant middle ear myoclonus and pulsating tinnitus, along with ear distortion, high-pitched screeching, and a Geiger counter–like ticking. Phenergan (Promethazine) is the only thing that helps me sleep. I’m...

    Unexpected Relief: Pulsatile Tinnitus Vanished After Rhinoseptoplasty

    Hello, How are your symptoms? Are you still free from them? I also have a mild deviation. I’m seeing a neurologist today. My pulsatile tinnitus and middle ear myoclonus have become chronic. The only medication that gives me relief is Phenergan, which I actually discovered by accident. I...

    Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s definitely something worth pursuing, but with caution.

    DMSO Cured My Unilateral Tinnitus?

    I have read both positive and negative reviews. It crosses the blood–brain barrier and carries anything it comes into contact with to the brain. While it may help with some conditions, many alternative health practitioners still seem undecided. The protocol appears rather vague, and I am not...
