Dr. J C Miranda

I am a physical therapist in the Portland, OR area, that has been treating a broad range HENT patients the past decade. I can tell you from professional and personal experience that there is much yo can do about all forms of Tinnitus and hyperacusis. It is a multifactorial problem that can stem from musculoskeletal issues (including: spinal degeneration, disc disease, posture, congenital anatomical anomalies) and psychosocial issues. In most cases it is a combination of many of these factors, but the most influential of which are stress and emotional trauma. If you do not address the role the latter two of these play in your condition, you are bound to experience less than satisfactory results. Most mainstream clinicians do not appreciate these relationships or are limited by their training to deal with the problem in its full scope. Consider seeing a manual physical therapist and perhaps a counselor to deal with this problem. you'll be glad you did.
