    Trigeminal Nerve Damage (Dental?) Affecting the Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus (DCN) and Causing Tinnitus?

    I had a chiropractic adjustment today on my neck and lower back. He said I have some movement in my C1-C2 area. Spondylolisthesis. I'm thinking there is some crossover to my auditory nerves. Maybe a nuero-ablation at a higher level (C2)would knock out the noise? Still unsure what to do. With...

    Hidden Hearing Loss & Hyperacusis After Gunshot

    It was a NUCCA type that aligns C1 and C2 or was it a regular Chriropractor? I'm glad to hear it is working for you. I will see a NUCCA specialist in two weeks to start the process.

    Four Days, No Tinnitus — Thanks Greg Sacramento

    ...Give it time to heal. Two weeks. Then if needed very light flexion - head down a bit (2 inches) and then slowly up to free it. You probably have little space between C2 and C3. Just try a couple of times a day until it's free. Accessory nerve (CN XI): Anatomy, pathways and function | Kenhub
