I just checked exclusion criteria from tent-2a and i think what you might be referencing is the following exclusion: “Diagnosed with somatic tinnitus resulting from head or neck injury.” I didn’t see any other exclusion of somatic tinnitus. I do believe that shore’s device is being tested...

One of the most common causes of hyperacusis is exposure to loud noise/acoustic trauma. Other things can cause it too. Head Injury Adverse reaction to medication or surgeries Chronic ear infections Auto immune disorders The side effects of drugs Lyme disease TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint...

@weab00 Vertebral artery from injury such as from whiplash would relate to pulsatile tinnitus, but most likely one needs to have severe headaches. Discussion: It is presently considered a problem when there is mechanical compression during head rotation due to muscular and tendinous...

Welcome to the forum. It is not always easy to pin down to the exact cause of tinnitus. Yours may have started by acoustic trauma but there are many other possible causes. I list some below and see if you have any of that recently. As far as the reason for the tinnitus increase, there are many...

Maithe, what are the antibiotics you were given? I am hoping it is not cipro. There are many causes of t from head injury to medications to ear wax build up to tmj to neck injuries, to high blood pressure to infection to noise exposure. Or have you just been through a traumatic event? Have you...

@ShellyW Hi Shelly. It seem like it's your spinal accessory nerve that passes thru the trapezius and sternomastoid muscles which allows the head to tilt and rotate. Along with injury to the seventh cranial nerve that innervates the stapedius muscle in the middle ear. It most likely...

It's most likely your neck and posture causing your problem - arteries of back side of neck that pump blood. With that often lymph fluids, nasal fluids and fluids from ETD are also involved. It appears that you had a neck injury at some point, then neck muscle spasms from lifting head in a lying...

Holy cow! Hope your doing alright buddy. I hit my head 16 months ago and my life changed forever. I am merely existing and not living due to my head injury. Even mild ones change you forever. I hope you didn't have to face any of the troubles

...started. I’ve been to several doctors and an ENT, who found no hearing loss or earwax etc. It has been about 2 months, and it seems to have faded from the onset. I was wondering if anyone has contracted tinnitus after a head injury like myself and what the odds of it going away are? Thanks!

...only work one way and be "stuck". The brain doesn't have preferences. Reversing the cause should reverse maladaptive plasticity just like mirror therapy treats maladaptive plasticity with phantom limb pain. Now if tinnitus is from a direct head injury, then yes treating the cochlea won't...

That wouldn't be a problem for you. Vertebral artery dissection from injury such as from whiplash would likely cause severe headaches and would relate to pulsatile tinnitus. Can you describe your range of motion exercise, because so much needs to taken into consideration with also having...

Have you had any close calls/bullets that you had miraculously dodged? Earlier this week, I slipped on my concrete driveway and fell backwards. I had instinctively moved my arms in such a way that I landed on my elbow and ripped my jacket. I came very close to hitting my head against concrete...

We have agreement with that - Levine and others for a longtime have discuss modulation. I once posted 80%, and someone posted back no way. So I had to provide a source - link. Maybe way back on this thread. What I'm questioning which I didn't word well, by saying "beyond all that" is that...

Hi I'm new to this site an wondered if anyone can help. My tinnitus started the day after a head injury which left me with 6 staples in my head and concussion. I've been suffering from vertigo and low frequency tinnitus for about 8 months now and it's driving me crazy. Audiology have been great...

...I don't hear it but when its quiet and I listen for it I can. Can it be blocked eustachian tubes? I have not been exposed to loud noises or had a head injury for that matter. I'm now on day 4 of tinnitus and it's driving me nuts because I'm worried it may become permanent. Please help. Thank you.

Hello, woke up this morning with my T lower, like every morning. Went to drop my son at daycare and bumped my head on the car door. Can you believe that after 7 years of non-stop T, my T disappeared completely for an hour?? I have to admit that I freaked out, I thought I would have a heart...

@Greg Sacramento I have been reading with interest your reply to OP. I have the same symptoms i.e. increase/decrease in tinnitus depending on head situation (mainly lying in bed). You asked OP if they remembered injuring collarbone so I wanted to ask whether injury to rotator cuff could also...

Seventy percent of those receiving tinnitus get it from noise. In an emergency room setting seventy percent did not get tinnitus from noise. For these individuals, some had earwax or used medications, but most had a physical condition. When a physical condition or injury is cause, tinnitus more...

Hi; I want to thank everyone for the responses and to make a clarification. I had a head injury, not exposure to chainsaw noise. Thanks for the suggestions for the various possible cures, I'll look into them and share them with my doctor. I'm not sure how much she does or doesn't know about...

I have T since the end of 2014, due to head injury from a traffic accident. Two months is very early days, hang in there and it will get better.

Hi all, I was diagnosed with tinnitus in August 2020 following an episode of severe depression which resulted in me suffering a concussion injury. It's a high pitched sound, in both ears and has been constant since the event. In addition to this I've also started hearing like a 'whooshing'...

actually i was wrong - its not the scapula but some damaged fiber of in the trapezius that produces tinnitus in my case. see my latest thread, where i confirmed it 100%.

You mentioned extreme stress for extended periods of time. Once that stress is relieved, have you seen people improve? twa

...0.62% - Ear wax build up 0.60% - Otosclerosis 0.40% - Allergy 0.38% - Metabolic (diabetes, thyroid, B12, hyperlipidaemia etc.) with "somatic tinnitus" is obvious. Maybe, e.g., somatic tinnitus is often (80%?) at head injury and seldom with ototoxity (10%?). This would be a very important fact!

@just1morething It's nice to connect with you again, but I wish that it wasn't related to our situation. Maybe a chat about football, or about an outdoors adventure would be ideal. After a year of research, I convinced that injury to the jaw is a major cause of physical tinnitus. A Dr. Stylis...

I think it really varies with each individual, and the circumstances surrounding their getting hyperacusis (I believe mine was the result of a head injury). I'm keeping a minimally invasive surgery in mind as I contemplate my options: A New Treatment For Hyperacusis 2016 2nd Seminar Master

Well, I found a place an hour away that has a Toshiba/Canon Advantage Orion MRI machine. It's 71cm wide, which I believe is considered to be a wide MRI machine. Which is nice compared to the more narrow MRI machines. They said they got it a few months ago. I don't know if this is a brand new...

Spinal fluid is most likely causing central oscillating along with injuries. Healing of anatomy discussed is of importance. Neck muscles and ligaments need to be loose. There's two ways to accomplish this. Emotional aspects- watch comedy or a happy movie - one for patients was Notting Hill -...

Like a headache, anything happening in your head affects your entire body systemically both physically and emotionally as with your heart which is in contrast to something like a leg injury which generally has only a local affect. This is why tinnitus is so difficult to go through because...

I'm reading this with great interest. Myself, I suffered a head injury back in January. My T is not pulsatile however, it is a constant tone, high pitched, primarily in my right ear (or right side of the head). Applying pressure to my temple region, moving my jaw a certain way, and...

Ok so is there a good chance to get cured? I’m fairly certain it’s from the whiplash so I don’t want to spend money on a doctor if they’re going to tell me what I already know without a cure. What measures could be taken to fix this?

Sounds like it's TMJ or connected to a neck or jaw injury. Electric shocks are damaged nerves. Where are you getting the painful shocking feeling? Because that's where your nerves are damaged. It might be worth seeing a doctor about this. Have you tried massaging your jaw joints and the back...

@hopeforme, It may be a good idea if your ENT wants an MRI to rule out anything. It may be in their professional protocol to do that to rule out anything otherwise there can be a lawsuit for malpractice. It also can hep you mentally to know nothing serious is going on. Good idea to protect the...

Hey, I've had tinnitus as long as I can remember (50+ years). I think it stems from a head injury as a 5 year old. I fell about 8-10 feet onto a concrete floor. Point of contact was my face. 30+ years of driving ambulances and fire trucks didn't help the situation, neither did the rock and roll...

Does that mean that loudness hyperacusis happens exclusively at the cochlea? Because if that's the case, the device will almost certainly help.

Hey Karianne, I suffered a head injury about 8 months ago due to falling off my skateboard. In addition to a parietal skull fracture, and a brain bleed, I also got tinnitus in my right ear. It's high pitched, loud, and has no variation. I just wanted to know about your tinnitus because it sounds...
