Mirtazapine is no longer sedating at 30 mg or above. In fact, it's activating.

There's lots of us who don't know how we got our tinnitus. One theory is that it has to do with oxidative stress, which can cause chronic hyperactivity of the neurons. So if you've been stressed out lately, that could be a cause. Also ototoxic meds (which is most meds), recreational drugs...

I have right-ear pure tones and static. Pretty sure it was a result of a blow to the back of my head on the right side. I'm currently resting after having my C1 vertebrae adjusted by an Atlas Orthogonal specialist. Tinnitus is not gone after 12 days, but my energy improved. Plus the doctor...

I have read over 6000 highly professional articles and case studies on physical tinnitus where I have 1200 saved downloads. In conclusion of my research almost all physical tinnitus associates to six areas. I have posted many links per each six areas. 1. Dental, Head, Face, Neck and Shoulder...

I always tell people here that massage therapists and physiotherapists use a lot more proven scientific things, but chiropractory doesn't have much science backing it up and be wary and is bordering on quackery. Someone I knew's GF had a stroke after a session and got a 50-100k settlement...

Wanted to post this here since it shows that stimulation of certain parts of the brain def reduces tinnitus!

Isn't this similar to what the stimulation devices are doing? Further proves that there is something here. Thanks for the post!

@Mathew Gould @threefirefour Since ringing is less from turning neck either to left or right, means the upper superascapular region (muscles and nerves attached to the shoulders) are involved with ringing when not turning neck or head. Often the C1 C2 is also misaligned causing jaw...

Head and ear are similar. Same area and I can still have had a concussion and not know it. Either way if my ringing is now 30-40 DB is that a good sign it will for sure fade to something quieter?

@Nate H Some thoughts: If you place -Pulsatile Tinnitus TMJ Jaw - into interest search, most professionals say that TMJ/Jaw alone can cause tinnitus, but not usually pulsatile tinnitus without the cradle interaction of injury/whiplash of neck and jaw. They, including dentists will mention the...

Wouldn’t that mean tinnitus only in that one ear though? Because mine happened instantly on both ears, same pitch. Plus the ENT tests showed no hearing loss at any frequency. Scary thing if it happens... You’re right man... I had one last Friday for my neck. 30 minutes, ringing was the loudest...

If I tap the back of my neck at the top of my spine, I get the same sensation down my back/up my neck as when I tap my upper jaw. Is it possible the problem isn't even in my ear, but in my neck?? Or is this normal for H. I also did gymnastics in college and fell on my head/neck a couple times...

I’m super worried... they said it might be labrynthitis since I had a cold when the symptoms first began. I just want it to go away...

Revolrex33 Most T sufferers can do similar things; it is very common. For instance, I can press on my right jaw bone or turn my head to the left and effect a very strong ringing sound. I believe it has to do with eustachian tube manipulation wherein a stressing or staining of the eustachian...

I’m dealing with hyperacusis right now, have had it for about 2.5 years after a serious noise injury. Keep having setbacks right when it feels like I’ve gotten over the hump. The fact that you are able to play acoustic drums every day at this point seems incredible, I’d never touch a drum set...

...or miss in cases. Just luck sometimes. Though when I asked the physical therapist he said it seems more hit if the TMJ is related to a head injury or neck. I do believe a lot of it is muscles. That either press on a nerve or the Eustachian tubes. I know my TMJ has given me severe ETD with...

...sounds but not a bar. My hyperacusis has all but gone away but sometimes I feel drained going somewhere loud. I did suffer a head injury a year ago but I’m starting think it’s my hearing that is causing me to feel this way because I don’t have any measurable defects. Just anxiety in...

For me, the T started right after impact -- at the scene of the accident. My head was rattled, and I heard this persistent "shhhhhhhh" sound. I also had a headache right away, so I thought my bell had been rung from being whipped. I was hoping that it would go away with a few days sleep, but...

Wow what a story! Thank you for trying to help. Sorry about the outcome. Are you able to manage your T?

Welcome to the forum. Drug interaction or withdrawal symptoms are only one possible reason for T. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear-wax removal suction, ear or...

@Tinker Bell Thank you very much for your kind answers. I did a survey here. About one third of all participants were sure that their tinnitus was caused by noise. Another third were certain that noise had no influence. But at least a third were unsure. Typical case: a young man who also shook...

Welcome to the forum. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum injury, fluid build-up in ears feeling pressured or fullness...

Welcome to the forum. Since I am not a doctor, I can't give medical opinion on your specific case. Perhaps you contact the doctors at the Doctor's Corner on TT to see if they have any opinion. If not, since two of your doctors said it was related to ETD, then perhaps they know something and if...

I also don't care about tinnitus.. be IT cause by TMJD or neck injury or head injury, really don't care, but hearing loss is the worst... And I have that one so... My biggest problem is hearing damage and tinnitus only bothers me bc IT reminds me of hearing damage... I also have ear fullness and...

Welcome to the forum. For some people, T can be traced to a cause. But for many, it just seems to come from no where, or from a combination of causes. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs...

@Greg Sacramento Thanks for the reply. I injured my rib attempting to break some wood. I stepped on a piece with one foot, bent over, and pulled up on the other end of the piece. I felt a popping in my ribs. Hurt like hell but I recovered in a couple of weeks. I had no injury to my spine, neck...

Fingers crossed for you! Animal studies show that stem cell exosomes do indeed protect or even restore hearing. If you don't mind, could you tell us what clinic this was? And were these adipose tissue SC exosomes or some other kind of SC exosomes? Autologous or allogeneic? The reason I am...

Welcome to the forum. I recall a success story by a member from Beijing who seems to have his T caused by a head injury. I don't know if he is active anymore, but you can message him via conversation so see if he is willing to help answer some of your question. You can read his following success...

To clarify Greg, is this a list of possible physical causes beyond hearing loss?

Yeah but what I am saying is the noise from the MRI wasn't an issue for me. With ear plugs in it wasn't uncomfortably loud.

When tinnitus is unilateral it could be indicative of a more serious condition so the MRI has to be done to rule out underlying causes like acoustic neuroma. It's the first thing an ENT will do if you present with unilateral tinnitus - @maltese might have bilateral tinnitus though, in which case...

I started having Bilateral High Pitched Pulsatile Tinnitus 1/2019 Did endure a head injury weeks before. Nothing ridiculous that required going to a hospital. But just noting the timing. Hit in the forehead and nose, felt like my nose was hit pretty hard. Since then I have also had Post Nasal...

I am going through a similar situation. I was physically assaulted, punched in the side of the face, jaw, head etc. I think the best thing to do is focus on concussion recovery as recommended by some to me. - No ear buds - No loud environments (movie theatres, bars, clubs, parties etc.) - No...

...as I had a concussion around that time (sensations appeared before the concussion) and I was afraid of some lasting consequences of said head injury. The feeling never came back to my fingers, my chest has this "electric current burning/tickling" sensation from time to time. I hope it's...

Welcome to the forum. It seems that head trauma or head injury has been cited as a cause for tinnitus. If there is not enough response here in the Introduction area, you can try to post about it on the main support forum. You can also try to do a search on 'head trauma' on all prior discussions...

Have you actually had any T improvement with LED therapy only?

Many possibilities - Possible nerve roots or peripheral nerve pressuring the neuromuscular junction. This can associate to changes in blood pressure from anxiety or from bad neck posture/forward head bending that may include the sternocleidomastoids. Nerve roots could be occipital nerves trauma...

Lane, I really appreciate the time you took to craft a thorough response - clear that the support network is strong here. ENT put me on a corticosteroid and a non-fluoroquinolone antibiotic (Clarithromycin) so I think I'm ok there for now, but I appreciate the information and the watch-out for...

I'm glad your hyperacusis has eased up.:huganimation: I feel you one those ear muffs. I like them more than plugs, except for the severe neck aches!! :confused::confused: I feel you. I just hoed the garden a bit and my neck got so ticked off! :meh:

Wow, thank you for answering. I never would have suspected that earmuffs can cause this much trouble. Hope you will be better soon. But I'm so glad that your hyperacusis improved that much. It's awesome news!

...tell that. And no matter what you do T seems to be having its own mind. Yesterday a homeopath doctor told me that it's not because of the head injury but due to stress and it coincidently just came after the concussion. That was the stupidest opinion ever and I felt offended! Nobody will...

@Fally Hit on my link above your post and continue to 'Dear Mark'. Read all 4 blogs. You may be doing more than just clenching. You may be twisting your jaw to one side to get it locked. There are several conditions (I have articles) that can be involved and most relate to dental - dental...

All is fine now. T eventually went down again. Seems for me anyway all these things are just temporary blips. Best advice is to live your life. If we train the brain to not care about t, it will hopefully just fade. :)

...wish I had someone warning me, and not encouraging me to be stupid and just go out, have fun and not worry. It's funny, when you get a head injury in sports, they put you in a quiet room immediately. But when you suffer an ear injury, the advise is just go out into the noise and don't worry...

How about the sound of someone using a chainsaw down the street?

It may be that your tinnitus developed by injury to your C spine causing unbalance such as from hitting your head. So with that and any bad posture, stretching affected your C spine more, which may have also stressed something else. Most likely with influence to nerves. Stand straight in front...

Hi Neil- I had a very bad fall and 2 days later had the onset of T. This happened 6 months ago. The first 3 months are VERY difficult. Not until the last month have things gotten a bit better. Although your injury likely caused cochlear or nerve damage I find it very unique that your T did...

I strongly disagree. What about meniere's disease, ototoxity, hormone related tinnitus, head injury etc. Those are not noise induced. And not 10%.

Hi @Mathew Gould, I suffered a serious head injury/whiplash when I was a teenager, and have gone to numerous health practitioners--primarily chiropractors--over the years to get relief from the chronic conditions that resulted from that injury. These many different chiropractors deployed a...
