    @asquared122 my tmj dentist made a mold of my teeth. I go meet her every month to have it adjusted and eventually ill have to get braces.
    
    The splint has to be custom fit and done by a tmj dentist or it doesnt work properly apparently.

    Any progress so far? I wear a TMJ splint too (for a month), it helped with ear fullness and maybe muscles feel less tight but the pain in and around the TMJ joint, including ear pain and the tinnitus is still the same :(

  5. Gemini Crickets
    @Stanlex it takes time. Make sure you wear the real thing. A custom made splint from a TMJ dentist. I used to have the kind that wasnt a custom fit and it didnt help at all.

  hey dude, would you say that the TMJ splint has made the Tinnitus quieter at all? Also, have you gotten braces yet?
  
  Jul 1, 2021
  2. Gemini Crickets
    no braces yet, still on the splint. still have tinnitus. there are good days and bad days i think the good days are increasing. otherwise its hard to tell. the dr says her other patients' TMJ caused tinnitus clear up from like 3-6 months ish (and some of those have it really loud). Im almost at month 2. ill 100% update my status when its gone.

    I believe they discovered cannabinoids that are responsible for T. Also coughing and and effects on bloodflow contribute

  weed experiment results : still makes tinnitus worse, even if casued by TMJ. T goes thru the ear still, and maybe weed affects that.

    @martinberryhorse she asked for some xrays. Took a look and thought i was in excruciating pain. My jaw is uneven, and theres a 10mm gap thats missing under my c1 vertebrae. Of course this is after seeing an ENT, audiogram, ct scan, etc to rule out other stuff.

  i think i figured out the weird spike. my ENT suggested i try not taking the myonal for a while. maybe its jaw tension

  Loudish day :(. But according to medicalaudiology.com.au, "the greatest majority of new T cases resolve within 6-12 mo."

  Back to normal after being slightly louder for a while but that was weird. Zero idea what caused it.

  Weird spike. Got loud in my right ear for a few seconds then settled down. Minecraft and talking with a friend on laptop speakers? Not loud?

  so ENT asked me to get a scan. CT - might miss small tumor apparently, also radiation, MRI - really loud could make T worse. whats the move?

    I had MRI before. It was really uncomfortable experience. But you have to do it anyway to rule out the possibility of tumor or something.

  3. Bill Bauer
    Only do an MRI scan if there is a high chance that you will die if you don't do it. I know of at least two people whose T got permanently louder after an MRI. The risk is low, but what's at risk is horrible...

    Nah @Wilsonchan7 im gonna get the ct instead. Aint risking it. 2 hours (they said it would take 2 whole hours) in a tiny metal tube at 100db aint for me. Some peeps on here even got T that way. I aint finna make mine worse. ENT okayed it anyway.

  Not sure if im imagining it or not but i think its getting softer wohoo

    From my experience, I was doubtful it was getting softer when it started to fade and eventually it settled down at a lower level. Best of luck to you.

    Just letting you know CT's can miss acoustic neuromas, an MRI with contrast won't.
