I had a tympanometry test, all was ok (twice!). But I feel fullness (in one ear) and cracking in head when I swallow (on both sides). Do you know what might help?

If your T is from a cold, then don't worry. The chances of it going away are higher. As long as your inner ear hair cells are good and you don't have any type of head injury, or noise induced Tinnitus, you are in a better position than most of us on this forum.

@Omid Rahmani, Do you have any hearing loss? It sounds to me your auditory signals are misfiring and head injury adding to it causing your tinnitus. Sometimes tinnitus can settle down over time and medication can help some people. Cinnarizine 15mg can help reduce tinnitus for people with...

My ringing began in the 1990's following a head and back injury. I was diagnosed with bilateral vestibular hypo-function (BVH) IN 2006. Symptoms are dizziness, nausea, disequilibrium. Migraines ringing in ears and uneven hearing loss. The ringing does not stop ever. Any hope for me...

...so I'm hoping it will help the tinnitus & hyperacusis. Nothing to report yet as I literally just had it done. He is also doing them intratympanically and said he helped someone recently with hyperacusis to a good degree who got it from a head injury. *Exosomes are different than stem cells.

@Jiri You appear to be young under 40, so you probably don't have any progressive degenerative diseases or conditions in your your spine from waist to the stem cell of your head. That's a plus. Not sure it you were somewhat inactive before you decided to do judo on that day. Either you had...

...T and H a lot worse. I would also say that at this point, anything that really gets my adrenaline going in general (being angry, upset, overly excited etc). I have cut out all caffeine, chocolate. and alcohol as these are also triggers. My T and H are due to a head injury/concussion in...

...but this didn't have any change to T so he has tapered off again. Coming off Sertraline is the only thing that has happened to him to cause this T (He has 2 other long standing T noises that he has controlled from a head injury). He is desperate to reverse the T and damage Sertraline has done.

I went to a Chiropractor and discovered my childhood injury to my neck through X rays is the probable cause of my deafness which led to tinnitus. I can't be fixed. Why? The injury is from my childhood. I fell from 5 feet head first, nearly broke my neck and was sewn back up to keep from...

If you are still experiencing your symptoms, I would suggest that you see a specialist! After incurring a head injury, and waiting many months for the symptoms to go away, I saw an ENT doctor. This made a world of difference! It is important to have faith, but it is also important to take...

SCM muscle, redundant, could be it. But vascular also, so somatic tinnitus it seems to me. I have an extensive set of head positions that fluctuate my tinnitus. I was in a car accident and sustained neck injury, although the cause of my tinnitus is from a reaction to medication. For mine I...

...I too believe T is a signal that something is not right. My T came after a badly contused lower back, broken thumb, slammed jaw and head injury. My ear started ringing 2 days later and has not stopped. Prior to accident i was very stressed/sleep deprived. All hearing tests/audiograms are...

Absolutely ZERO influence to my tinnitus. I have tinnitus in my right ear only from head injury. Was at a concert the other night for The Killers with dedibels easily reaching 120-130. 2 hour set. My tinnitus has actually improved or even become milder than before. Perhaps the loud noise...

Hi @capecrusader , I had a non-aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage in June and have had multiple crazy tones in my head ever since. It’s very challenging, and also not that uncommon for those who experience a brain injury. If you haven’t already, I suggest you check out behindthegray.com - it’s a...

Hi derpytia I got my tinnitus from a head injury,I play guitar and love it I either play quietly or pop some moldex ear plugs in and crank it up and feel the noise! But never give up on music because one day you may find its your only escape! If you need to talk am here !

I had an EEG, a brain MRI, and a hearing test where they also tested my inner ear function, not sure what that test was called. Kaiser will not order any more testing. I was told to live with it. I lost my hearing in my left ear as a child due to a head injury.

@KDMG, here’s another paper on neurectomy for otalgia: Endoscopic tympanic neurectomy for otic neuralgia—a case series As far as noxacusis relation to other nerves in the body Norena et al state: “We believe that our model proposes a synthetic and explanatory framework to explain the...

...injury for example, but the noise is generated and sustained by the brain. I see that you have indicated that your tinnitus was caused by head injury and acoustic trauma. Mine was caused by acoustic trauma, by a very loud noise that was suddenly emitted through my headphones because of a...

Hi there, how did it go, did your tinnitus improve? I hit my head in a similar way last night, and it has spiked my tinnitus quite a lot. Thank you.

...Do you have a regular GP you could talk to? I had a pre existing hearing loss which my audiologist says my brain has latched onto when I had my head injury which is causing the tinnitus. How was your hearing before you were hit on the head? Hopefully you won't be in my shoes in 8 months time.

Ok huge RED FLAG right there. You need to leave your "partner" ASAP or better report him to local police authorities (Gendarmerie), and yes tinnitus can be STRESS induced, which is exactly what seems to be happening to you.

It will go back to a normal level, yours is from a concussion, how did this happen?

Sorry to hear about the neck injury, hope it’s not too serious? Does the chiropractor sessions reduce the T?

Any medications you think might have caused it? Do you have any head injury, cervical issues or TMD/TMJ?

Donny this is simply not true. Their trial criteria states "Diagnosed with somatic tinnitus resulting from head or neck injury." If they excluded people with somatic they would be excluding 70% percent or more of all tinnitus sufferers. Trial Info

Yes. It could be a neck injury with nerve or artery compression or a c spine issue. MRI of head and neck would help verify as there could be any of many factors with involvement. With this hopefully an easy treatment plan can be established. MEM and sounds distortions can certainly be involved.

Hi Michael alm -- Sorry to hear how difficult your recent spike has been after so many years. Just for clarification, you're saying the distant chainsaw noise had nothing to do with your recent spike? If not, do you know what did cause the spike? -- Thanks.

Just read some of your posts. I also am having this strange pressure in my head which I never mentioned to my audiologist, so thanks. I tried the Oasis device but it was taken away. See my post about on-the-job injury problems. I try to hold it together but I really feel that I can't handle my...

An impairment or injury to the spinal accessory nerve can cause weakness or paralysis to the SCM. This can cause atrophy (shrinking) in the affected sternocleidomastoid and may cause difficulty in turning the head and bending the neck. Treatment for this involves strengthening exercises for the...

...evidenced by a conversation i had with a girl who had congenital hearing loss and t to begin with. Later in life she experienced a closed head injury, which caused her to develop profound hearing loss and her t vanished mysteriously. Whilst she cant hear, she can no longer hear her tinnitus...

...my head. My head is stuffed. I understand it can be caused as a result of a concussion, but the roaring didn't start until two weeks after the fall. Has anybody with these symptoms had a head injury? I saw a GP and he said nothing to help me. Also when people talk it loudly it hurts my ears.

Welcome to the forum. It is always not easy to pin point the exact cause of spiking tinnitus. I will list below some common causes of tinnitus or spikes of tinnitus. Check if you have any of these recently or during the spikes. There are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or...

I had a PLF incurred by a head injury. I experienced a slew of symptoms and they were ever-changing. Migraines, pressure in head, moments of "spacing out," deafening tinnitus, all types of vertigo, etc. After speaking with my primary care physician, a neurologist, and my case manager (workers...

...had surfaced by now. From two mentions (years apart) from you bending forward bringing on tinnitus seems to me to be key. A previous head injury that's affecting peripheral nerves or the facial nerve when bending forward. Eustachian tube is probably not cause as with Meniere's or MS. TMJ...

@Lisa88 any improvement in your T since the head injury? My situation is a little different but I am a goalie in hockey and the season is about to start but I am unsure whether I can play or not due to the fact that at some point I'm likely to get a shot to the mask.

I had helmet on, I didn't had any head injury as far as I know. Hearing test is fine upto 8KHz. Only thing I suspect is earphones and anesthesia.

Mike.. sorry to hear about your 2nd accident. That's what I'm afraid of.. another head trauma and my T will spike. That's why I stay mostly home on weekends. My T has gone down especially after lumbar puncture. I only hear T at night when trying to sleep and in quite rooms... but that could...

It's appears that months or years ago you had an injury to lower spine, head and neck from the gym. Since then, if you ever had back muscle spasms or back pain then this is the start of things. You may had incorrect side to side and frontal posture before, but an injury to the back can cause...

There's a lot more to it than just that. It's actually not the person that caused it that I'm most angry with. My injury was swept under the rug and I was even threaded by management to not talk about my injury or symptoms with other coworkers. Which hyperacusis really is a disability, one...

...seem like all problems, everything word that you mention, including that of the hearing complex stems from an existing spinal injury or head injury that happened in childhood. This would most likely be level 1 - not a major issue as you don't have vertigo. I would stop exercises. A...

Thanks. This one is nothing to the first one that brought on my T, so I don't feel too worried about it. Didn't/couldn't go to the doctor than and still can't.

Hi @nurserae -- Yes, chronic neck issues have been a staple in my life since a serious head injury/whiplash at age 15. I just wrote a post on some of the things that have helped me at THIS LINK. -- Let me know if you have any questions. -- All the Best...

Well that sounds scary. I didn't have any neck or head injury as a child as far as I remember? I have a small spiral injury from weightlifting 5 years ago, all good now pain-wise. The humming sound started at a 10/10 two months ago, and slowly faded over 4 hours. It did not return until 1 week...

As avid UFC and boxing fan I thought about that too. How about NFL players, the constant head banging. But I would imagine saying on the injury report "ears ringing" would not be seen as manly.

I'm sorry to hear this. Many things can cause tinnitus. A brain injury is one of them. I would imagine you have seen a neurologist. Have they provided any information? The issues with sleep suck bad. I suffer badly like you and that's why I'm still up @ 5:00 am. I hope you find answers.

@Pleasure_Paulie I use it and quite a bit of it. Several years before tinnitus. For my back and legs - serious pain injury. Of all the side effects, with a large dose, I only felt like in a daze, with a light head, sometimes a little faint. With a smaller dose I was fine. I still have some in...

How old is your injury? I have not heard about anyone doing intratympanic blood patch in Europe yet. Did you try the "six weeks of bed rest" protocol for PLF (keep your head elevated at all times, no bending over, no straining, etc)?

No I am away from home in a small place with no actual clinic. Does it make a difference? I heard they dont generally test like all frequencies.

...also help those who do have another cause than NIHL, such as ototoxic medicine or infections. Danny Boy (infection) & ATEOS (ototoxic/head injury/infection) were one of those who reported benefit from Trobalt, a drug that is a precursor to Dr. Tzounopoulos' RL-81. I hope that it also works...

So I suspect that my jaw may he playing a part of this. I have looked a lot at the TMJ stuff and I definitely have some of the symptoms. I don't have much pain, but my jaw pops a lot and my teeth fit together differently from day to day. Additonally, I have been told at night I snap my teeth...

@ShellyW Hi Shelly: Take the palm of your and very gently rub down the muscle in this link. Start from the top side of neck down to front lower side of neck. Do this on left side but slightly tilt your head to the right to see if your tinnitus or ear sounds change. Your tests have rule out...

I thought that too, yet it started after a head MRI and has been growing louder since then. I suspect noise trauma. That 250 Hz is the worst. Even benzos barely allow me to function.

...When I said I hit my head, it was when I was a kid, like everyone else hits their head, I never went to the hospital for that or had a head injury (except when i fell when i was 3 and i hit my forehead and my eye). As for the increase in PT when I lower my head, it seems "normal" to me...

My 2nd dose is scheduled for this week. I am going to delay another two weeks. I talked to someone who said that they may make the 2nd dose vaccine window even longer in the near future. I can't see getting another shot when I still have tinnitus. It's like adding insult to injury. Right now...

Thank you for your detailed post. From what we can figure out it appears to have come from a form of head trauma but we are not 100% sure. He is being seen by an ENT but the exact cause is uncertain at the moment. Reading this site to try and fill in some of the gaps. Thanks for your links

Welcome to the forum! So are you asking if there are other causes that can aggravate your tinnitus besides acoustic trauma? If not acoustic trauma by loud band sounds, there are many other causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects...

...front door. And my parents were cozily tucked into the house where they can't hear me. If it stays like this I might have to skip taking the whole trash can down the driveway! Hopefully since I didn't wack my jaw with my head my T will stay "normal". Another stupid head injury to add on top!

Here's just a partial tabulation of things I've heard of tinnitus originates from: -- 1) inner ears; 2) TMJ; 3) neck; 4) upper cervical spine; 5) thyroid gland; 6) heart; 7) liver; 8) kidneys; 9) gut 10) sinuses; 11) Candida; 12) Lyme; 13) stress; 14) anxiety; 15) head injury; 16) brain tumor...
