    Distraction is the best medicine for tinnitus.

    @lanterns&coffee what i'm hearing is that we have to give Joe Biden debilitating tinnitus, and i completely agree!! what's the point having politics when there's pressing matterns concerning all of humankind!! we're all humans and we all need help, especially for our fragile fleshy bodies...

    there's lasik and eyeglasses and surgery for eyes but for ears and hearing loss the options are so much more limited, bleh >.< at least we're still young!! i'll bet technology will come super far by the time we're elderly =^^=

    @silentnight mhm!!! Just exactly that!! Couldn’t have said it any better. Joe Biden should be sat in a very silent room so he can experience what we’re all experiencing except everyday and throughout the day

  likely MEM of stapedius. anyone know what nerves can affect this? think a NUCCA chiropractor can help?

    update: not MEM due to it subsiding during calmness? gets worse with stress? muscle tension perhaps? also got better after a nasal spray, but that may be attributable to placebo or muffling of the ears?

  theory: subconscious muscle tension on right ear causing stress/stapedius spasm? stop focusing on right ear???

    Can a spasm stapedius cause a humming(feels like vibrating)? It changes with the position of my head. When i plug my ear i hear a typwriter crackle.

    Right? Not tall but I have somatic tinnitus in addition to my recent spike/ worsening. My main issue is turning my neck right left and chewing that’s super loud. Yawning also very loud. I can tell I am under so much stress because normally those symptoms would be by midday and lately they’re lasting all day. And I can tell my jaws are so painful.

    I get similar symptoms in one ear. My ET is weak in that ear and does not open regularly. I probably need a few days on a decongestant. I also have TMJ. Kills me ear. I don’t get the deafness. Do you have HL?

    @Forever hopeful I'm not sure, probably a mild amount from my days in the highschool band. My full ear also has tinnitus, but I don't believe I have TMJ. it's all so complicated ><

    Just try not too overdo it, do it in increments such as little and often and see how you get on.

    @Strawberryblonde that's certainly the wise thing to do—i woke up with neck soreness and pain just from bending my neck back, so perhaps i really did overdo it yesterday... on the bright side, my neck is a lot looser now..?
