@Mathew Gould There can be good or bad results with device that you point out in post above to place a curve back from a straightened C spine from forward neck injury. Constant pressure on neck muscles may end up straightening C spine more. If one's atlas is tilted to one side, device can do...

...from low b12 symptoms, also get your thyroid levels checked too, low b12 and low or too high thyroid can cause Tinnitus, if you've have a head trauma you should also go to a NUCCA chiropractor to see if you have any upper cervical problems, as Tinnitus can also be caused by problems in the neck.

Hello :D Steve here, 58 male. My tinnitus started with the casual and gently "weeee" sonic noise at about in 1985. Hardly noticeable till you rest your head on the pillow for a good night's sleep. Years later, at about 1998, I started getting an much louder oscillating crescendo of "weee"...

Thank you Greg. I’ve been working out for the past few months, doing bench pulls, pull-ups etc, my neck was stiff, my traps would get sore and I would resort to stretches. I had an instance of tinnitus for 5-10 seconds few weeks prior, where I made a sudden neck movement to the right while lying...

Yes, it's pretty common to ask for a head MRI when you have unilateral tinnitus/hearing loss that you can't attribute to anything (acoustic trauma, etc). This is done to rule out an Acoustic Neuroma, which is a benign tumor (that's what I think you refer to as "cancer"). The odds of having an AN...

Hi oceanofsound26, Thank you for taking the time and reading my post. Sad indeed and scary. I am hoping my post will reach others to help them understand what it is like if they're just experiencing this or have already. I have researched Labyrinthectomy as this is what I will be having in a...

I'm glad I brought this out, and hope it explains the trauma the brain absorbed from the falls. We don't understand what happens but soon we feel the side effects from it. Stay strong.

...at night and my T was loud. However when I woke up this morning T is down and back to original level again. Even though my T is due to head Trauma, loud noise does cause temporary spikes so I avoid bars, clubs.. except few times a year. I took 2 NAC pills this morning and will take them...

Yes it will go down, when I got my second acoustic trauma while doing that ovemp test. My T went from a 2 to a 10, literally I had a huge engine sound in my head and I felt like my head will burst open. That reduced from 10 to a 7/8 where I am currently, so give it time. You also have a second...

u must of had another reason - meds, stress, noise exposure, ear syringing, barotrauma,whiplash, head trauma, tmj, reading about T, chemical exposure, mercury fillings, high blood pressure, alcoholism, excessive masturbation, panic/gad disorder, thyroid dysfunction, kidney problems, AIDS...

Sure, according to the experts, when a metal shower head falls in the bathtub, the level of noise is so extreme that your eardrums can blow out immediately, and all the people in the whole neighbourhood risk an acoustic trauma. This is actually the second most common accident leading to hearing...

...There are stone deaf people with ZERO T, and people with little loss with bad T. It depends on the circumstances of how the T started - stress, meds, noise, head trauma, etc. My T is so loud I can hear it clearly 24/7 It is so horrible that you might get a panick attack if I describe it to you.

I had it mild since a child. Got bad I believe through noise exposure at work over the years. Sudden worsening in late thirties. But I do also have tmj and some facial nerve pain at times which could contribute to it.

...you have a history of noise exposure, loud music, concerts, loud cars? Any medications recently that may have caused it? Any history of head trauma? Any genetic hearing loss in your family? There are rare cases where removing ear wax through irrigation can go wrong and damage hearing...

Hear hear! (pun intended) I find this sad as well, since my T started during a long headphone listening session with my new audiophile grade headphones and 'head-fi'er' hobby. I can't be 100% sure if that triggered my T, because I also got a blocked + full ear at the same moment, which is not a...

Thanks for the advice, only a certain select of friends are loud and yes I have had an audio gram of my hearing and it was viewed by an ENT who said it seems all fine. I will choose to keep quiet about my condition as many people know about it but not all, will avoid those certain people though...

...is listed in many professional articles. A bend forward neck from improper posture lifting, bending, dental procedure, accident with head trauma, muscle spasms and being under stress are all reasons for getting somatic tinnitus. Next on the somatic list is the jaw and problems in the mouth...

Hey @Brooklyn NY Thank you for your thoughts. My ear does feel a bit better although my tinnitus is through the roof and freaking me out. I had a noise trauma recently (loud bell) which has messed up my tinnitus and hypercausis and my head is just so full of screeching. I’m trying my best...

When I asked my ENT for a prognosis for my T (due to acoustic trauma), he said that the outcome of a concussion is impossible to forecast. He went on to explain that both conditions have to do with brain neurons, so recovery from T is also difficult to forecast. The reason I am bringing this...

...spike from the motorcycle ride. Lots of folks are wearing earplugs when riding as the motorcycles are loud, and helmets protect you from head trauma, but little in the way of hearing protection. Be sure to consistently protect from further noise exposure, deal with the TMJ issues, and these...

tinnitus and especially hyperacusis with pain seem to develop almost exclusively in hearing loss, tinnitus has some exceptions but not hyperacusis with pain outside of head trauma.

Haha, thanks @DeanD :) Yes, it can. It can even help tinnitus from other causes - like neck tension, TMJ, or other issues. I treat myself with Acupuncture and notice improvement in my symptoms. I had an acoustic trauma and have hyperacusis. I have had improvement with symptoms of pain, plugged...

Wow. This is apparently super rare. From a brief literature search, the only treatment I was able to find discussed was treating ETD which is apparently an underlying cause. Or if it was post trauma (e.g. tonsillectomy), possible repeat surgery. Is there a specialist for this condition you...

Hi Blane, Any exposure to loud sounds? Have you had any trauma recently to the head, face, or neck? TMJ? Have you been on an airplane recently? Any recent dental work? Have you been sick recently? If you go to the ENT, he/she will check your ears for wax build-up and you can also ask them...

I'm going to try to make this my last thread here, after this I'll be out of questions and just have to play the waiting game. That being said, I'm grateful for this community always being here when I feel hopeless and alone. :thankyousign: So, I have two main questions: From multiple success...

Hi, I'm new and wondering how it's going with the T. Have you gone back for a repeat of the acupuncture? My T might be due to head trauma, I'm not sure. First stop for me will be ENT but first available appointment is May 1 :-( . After ENT, next stop will be acupuncture. Curious, if you still...

@BrysonKingMe, 1. When you say that the head tinnitus is gone, you mean completely? 2. So do you still have the electrical tinnitus? 3. What's your tinnitus now compared to before you went to South Korea? Like if it was a 9/10 before, what do you rate it now? Thanks for the help!

I agree with @Autumnly Although the ear and auditory system are delicate they are also quite resilient and have the ability to recover from quite severe noise trauma. When I first got severe tinnitus with hyperacusis 23 years ago, due to listening to music through headphones at too high a...

Not all doctors know how to diagnose or treat these conditions. It is easy to say "everything is OK" especially if patients cannot prove their symptoms (some holes are not visible on CT, nystagmus is present only with vertigo, not with subjective dizziness, not with derealisation or a loss of...

I really can't tell you either way to go or what it will do. Ototoxicity was one of the reasons they said it might not work. Based off my results and the other guys' results it's a gamble. I don't think the money I spent was worth the reduction I got, but again I don't have the head hiss...

@GhostyTMRS -- This sounds like potentially really good news. If you could get access to an HBOT chamber, I think that could be really good. There's not much else than can help heal brain and nerve trauma better than that. Except perhaps DMSO, which is used in conventional medicine to quickly...

I am not sure who "they" is. The biggest factors in determining inner ear tinnitus outcome is related to etiology (acoustic trauma, presbyacusis, ototoxicity, head injury, infection, etc.) and symptomatology (continous ie. 24/7, on/off, decreasing-increasing over time). Sudden onset of tinnitus...

...but I am also now being tested for SCDS. Also post concussive syndrome can cause tinnitus and hyperacusis...not saying you have a concussion but head trauma can mess with your ears. Hopefully it's just a short lived spike. Be well @Lisa88 glad to see you've made progress (despite a little...

Yep, same with me. Seems pretty common. My T is from head / neck trauma, and not my ears. I suspect something touching up against my auditory system. Maybe increased blood flow to an inflamed muscle. Overall, I feel exercise is good for me. Do you know the cause of your T? If I put an ice...

When I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis 24 years ago I experienced many symptoms in addition to ringing and oversensitivity to sound - hyperacusis. The burning in the ears you have mentioned and on top of my head. The whole of my head felt completely numb as a result of my noise trauma for 6...

I am sorry you are having a difficult time. Even I got T from a head trauma last year in March. No there are no answers for head trauma related T like any other type of T. Neuros and ents are a waste of time. Nobody understands tinnitus and they don't give a shit about it. Period. I have left no...

...especially with a bad cold, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's Decease, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as during landing &...

I sustained a concussion last year. I was put on high dose Quercetin. My tinnitus at the time was unchanged.

I used to get this every time, but now it only happens sometimes in the mornings if I've been lying on the side opposite where the main tone is occurring. It only started after a severe noise trauma back in June, so although the main tone is still there, it's more faint, and the related tones...

Barotrauma, ruptured ear drums and then ototoxic drugs inc antibiotic ear drops. I was olso hit in the head and had concussion shortly after as shown on a brain scan, I'm still dealing with post concussion symptoms as well, I think? It's been so long and not a lot has improved so not sure. I...

Most likely it will fade in time, but it may take many months.

Hello @Gman! My Tinnitus started immediately after I was rear-ended from behind. I was completely stopped and there was an SUV in front of me...a 16 year old driving a commercial box truck hit me at 45 mph and sandwiched me into the SUV in front of me, which was also stopped. My SUV was...

Thank you for your reply @Red - sorry, I probably wasn’t being very clear. My head is all over the place, quite literally. It was more of a hearing distortion - like I’ve never had before... I guess I’m just thinking that the noise trauma has caused more damage which in turn has caused the...

...get tinnitus in so many different ways right? From side effects of medications they have to take, including chemotherapy drugs. From head trauma. From MRI’s. From hearing tests. From being in the wrong place at the wrong time- one user had their tinnitus get way worse from a car alarm, mine...

It wasn't the cause of my tinnitus, but I have forward head posture. It turns out it's not such an easy thing to correct when you have more than 15 years of poor posture. I have other theories about what caused mine (I think it's more than just bad practice for me).

The zygomatic process is a protrusion from the rest of the skull, like the bumper of a car. If you are wearing double protection - ear plugs and part of the time headphones in an environment of 80 - 85 decibels, that should bring the sound level down to a safe level. So it's not dangerous...

I've been struggling with extremely unstable, reactive, and volatile tinnitus for a few weeks now. I'm looking for advice and am interested in knowing if anyone has experienced anything similar. For some background, I had stable single-tonal tinnitus for years until I experienced acoustic...
