    What to do with my life now?

    Id go for the complete opposite advice of Stina. What do you mean by "basic hearing protection"? If you want to keep doing what you love, invest in some proper protection, check out custom molded earplugs, Etymotic Research do some brilliant ones, their ER25s are expensive, but they reduce the...

    Too Loud to Sleep — Anyone Have Tinnitus Caused by TMJ?

    Admittedly it looks that way, I do definitely have it, but at the same time it's a huge monetary gamble (it'll be over a £1000 total) for something that'll almost certainly cure my tmj but with a good chance that the tinnitus will stay intact. The internet statistics on correlation/successful...

    Too Loud to Sleep — Anyone Have Tinnitus Caused by TMJ?

    I have minor TMJ with no pain, but a clicking jaw and a crackling in my right ear, which is also in the same ear as the majority of my tinnitus. Annoyingly I noticed both the tmj and the tinnitus right after a concert (annoyingly again, after my friend mentioned that such a condition existed on...

    Concerts, Earplugs and Tinnitus

    Was going to post a thread on this very topic. I've been wearing musicians plugs for gigs ever since I first got my T with no problem, there is always temporary tinnitus following concerts with earplugs anyway, but it always subsides. I had a spike in December (went to a club unprotected), and...

    Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

    That's a new one that I've not looked at before I don't know what's more annoying, tinnitus itself or the fact that literally millions of things can cause it, you could be guessing forever!

    I'm in a very similar boat to you really, my right ear crackles too whenever I yawn, and that's where the majority of my tinnitus comes from. You mentioned your jaw in your first post, how often does it click? I was diagnosed with mild TMJ after having an expert look at my stiff jaw, which can...

    Snap, Crackle, Pop?

    Oh yes, whenever I yawn I get a crackle in my right ear. Noticed it at the same time as my Tinnitus, as well as a stiffened jaw on my right side too.

    Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

    I'd love to know this too, I have a crackling sound in my right ear whenever I swallow or yawn, which I am certain is my eustachian tube playing up.

    I'm not a doctor by any means, but I've done a bit of reading. There could be a possibility that you have eustachian tube dysfunction, that it often characteristed by blocked ears, and a clicking jaw.

    Former Lurker, Now Signed Up

    Hi All I'm Jeff, and my tinnitus is an interesting one. I first noticed it after my friend mentioned that he had it, annoyingly he mentioned this literally a day after I'd been to a concert, so I'm not sure if the concert itself caused it, or whether me listening out for this condition (which...
