I have been checked for TMJ/jaw issues, but I show good tracking and have no other indications. Plus, I know my T came from SSHL. Can this “just happen” with T even if it’s cause is not somatic? I’m assuming any physical shift that affects the ear can do something.
A nerve from the jaw connects neurologically to the auditory nerve. Many can manipulate their tinnitus with jaw movements. Just don’t over do it, I made mine worse by doing jaw exercises.
This is what I figured, @Jupiterman ! Ugh, so sorry that happened to you. Do you have multiple tones ? If I remember correctly, I know you deal with reactivity?
Opposite for me, anything I do with my mouth/jaws will make it louder while I do that movement. I'm not sure my tinnitus is actually somatic caused though considering how many noise people also have that effect
