Separate names with a comma.
Since I have not logged in for a couple of years, I thought I would post here since I did "come back" after remembering Tinnitus Talk after seeing...
First, let's remember that ten years ago 59 million Americans contracted H1N1, 250,000 were hospitalized, and 12,000 died. Just in the US:...
I originally took modafinil about a decade ago when I was doing super overseas traveling and frequent time zone adjusting and long before I had...
My T was supposedly caused by clenching plus bad orthodontics. The combination jammed my jaw up into its sockets, which are near the inner ears,...
So I saw this on an international plane trip this week and see now that it’s on Netflix. It’s an Indy movie that I’d put at 6/10 and was...
You have to self experiment since everyone is different. For example coffee makes some people spike and others not. Alcohol ditto. A beer makes...
I thinks it’s safe to say T cuts across all personality types. However I think the same volume of T will affect some more than others. For...
Val, most of us with pulsitile T don’t have serious conditions. In fact,a majority of us don’t even know for sure why we have it, or have at...
When my TMJ T started coffee/caffeine definitely raised it almost immediately, but after a year after night guards and braces lowered my T from a...
I used to think ringing in the ears when you yawn was what everyone experienced I had it so long. I didn’t think about it and it only happened...
Just as a counter point, I was put in braces to relieve my T, which has gone down because of them. The issue is not where your teeth are or the...
Do a search on my posts - your TMJ sounds a lot less severe than mine, but basically there are three areas to treat TMJ in general that also...
I have T caused by TMJ and the my TMJ doctor did this twice. I am pretty sure my TMJ is caused my inflammation around the joint which has...
Josh, it is hard to say from a typed description, but I would say it was very high chance that it is TMD related. My advice on TMD treatments is:...
You have about 5 causes listed, but if it is TMJ related (like me), when you sleep your jaw relaxes, so loosens the ligaments and joints. As you...
Yes, you can adjust. I have had pulsatile tinnitus for almost 18 months, caused by TMJ disorder, and I have used braces and therapy to reduce it...
I have TMJ tinnitus, so electric brushing - and especially my water pick - feel really really good on my poor jaw. Neither affect my T one way or...
It sounds like you have tinnitus, but earplugs won't cause tinnitus. You might want to see if you have night bruxism (grinding or biting down...
I didn't go, but I talked to them and wrote about my experience here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/posts/200930/ They actually called me back 6...
A few thoughts on my 1-year tinniversary. I have been treating it as a TMJ problem, and had improvement from a 7/10 to a 2/10 after eight months,...
This post is just trolling. Just because there is less funding overall doesn't mean any specific disease gets less money. That is not how...
First, let me say that I have pulsatile T brought on by TMJ Disorder, so I am part of a minority on this board that doesn't have nerve damage or...
All I related is what the TMJ guy told me, and after half a year of bite plates, soft food and now braces, my T went down from scary levels to...
A few drinks brings my T down a notch immediately, but too much makes it spike the next day, probably due to poor sleep. So this reaction...
21. (for PT sufferers) We have a free, built-in heart monitor, always know what our pulse is.
Hello Fellow PT Sufferers, Six months I ago I woke up to constant ringing in my ears. While that is my "start date", the fact of the matter is...
Ryand, I do many of the same things but found I had to go to zero caffeine (which causes almost an immediate spike) but I do occasional IPA and...
Hi Mussie, we are similar in that my T started 6 months ago, but I was diagnosed as TMJ disorder in a month, and orthotics for three months and...
Haven't seen the movie, but follows up on ideas that solitude is becoming a luxury item. I find this is pretty true - even in far away national...
As an update I took Aleve (naproxen) for a shoulder problem, and it actually took my T down a notch. Will keep up with it, hope this stays the same.
I think how it affects you also depends on your introversion/extroversion spectrum. I am an extreme introvert, so loved basking in my own...
What I did was effectively experiment on myself, knowing that I might have to deal with a spike. For me Ibuprofen seems to spike my T, although...
Actually it's the opposite for me - I choose to look at hearing my constant heart-beat as confirmation I am alive and going. And with my high...
I am on this (brand name Remeron) as a sleep aid for four months and haven't had any appetite or weight problems, although my doctor warned me it...
Good summary about half way through on this thread: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/high-pitch-pulsatile-tinnitus.8856/
I had the same symptoms - high T, normal audiogram, normal ear pressure. But I had two other symptoms: my T changed when I turned my neck/head,...
Christmas is coming, so catalogs are hitting the mailbox. While browsing Hammacher (a general gadget catlogue), I was amused to find a "Tinnitus...
Most people on this forum had to go to multiple doctors and many still don't know what the cause is. In my case I saw three doctors before I got...
AuntSally, I have pulsatile tinnitus in both ears, caused by TMJ and bruxism. If you think yours is stress related, make sure you are not biting...
Your profile says you got it from a burglar alarm...so you're a burglar? :) My TMJ tinnitus was caused by faulty orthodontics when I was a kid...
I also have T caused by bruxism + TMJ - a very high pitched whine at 9 KHz. I brought the volume from a 6/10 to about 3/10 in three months with...
Shari, do you have any other symptoms? I also went to an ENT and had a good hearing test. But I had other symptoms: pressing on my neck tendons...
If your hearing test shows high pitch hearing loss, then that is a reasonable diagnosis. It is when you have "perfect" hearing (like mine), but...
First, make sure your T is indeed virus induced. Get a hearing test as well as an ear pressure test from an ENT. They chased my T for a month as...
Yes. My T is in rhythm with my heartbeat, except when I walk/run, which then goes with my pace. My T is caused by TMJ, so I am assuming even the...
No - I have a constant 9KHz whine in both ears, like the old sign-off signal on TV. At first it also had my heartbeat in there, so it "beaded"...
Hi everyone. It's been about three months since my T started, and two months of treatment, so thought I would provide a positive update about my...
Although my T is being treated as a TMJ disorder, I am looking at "back up" in case my mode of treatment doesn't work after a few months (although...
@whale Hang in there. For me when I was that high Robaxin (muscle relaxer) brought it down a notch or two. Alcohol did early, but now it doesn't...
@whale Okay had my second trigger point injections, going from the base of the back of my head down to the shoulder. He uses a topical freeze...
@whale No sleep apnea although I've had insomnia for years. I am wondering if the unknown grinding was a cause. I'm only two weeks into having...
Hi everyone, glad I found this thread since what I have is very similar: pulsating T with heartbeat (95% of the time) that can be "turned" up or...
I had trigger point injections yesterday on the side of neck and upper shoulders. Before the injections when I turned by head to the left or right...
My symptoms are similar, but as a guy I have never been pregnant. :) I can stop my T temporarily or change the tone by pressing on my neck or...
I'm no doctor, but my understanding for ototoxisity is that it takes heavy doses over long periods of time, not just a few days or weeks. And for...
I just started Remeron this week for sleep for T. My first day after I actually had a few hours of quiet in the afternoon with T about zero....
These three symptoms together are often TMJ/TMD. I would have that checked out.
My story to date: T minus 1 month - My cousin had a virus which ended up permanently damaging 90% of his hearing in his left ear. So I was...
