@Mellow7 It’s called QuickSplint. I think they have to be given by a doctor. They do have a website if you want to look into it. I’ve been...

@kelpiemsp Thanks! I’ve been on it for 2 weeks already. My opening was 24mm. It feels so much better after only wearing a temporary splint for 1...

@housemzk My jaw and face feel so much better after only wearing the temporary splint last night. It’s unbelievable. I’m so excited to get the...

@Mellow7 I can’t believe you have to wait that long just to get the impressions! Can you get in with someone else before then? That’s crazy. I...

@Mellow7 Have you had a hearing test and the pressure checked in your ears? All mine are normal. I have the pressure and congestion in my ears...

@kelpiemsp and @housemzk Hey guys. Just an update. My hearing test and pressure were normal at my ENT visit. The doctor referred me to a tmj...

@Jazzer How much melatonin do you take? It has zero effect on me unless I take 20mg or so. Like absolutely none. I tried different doses years...

@kelpiemsp You are so lucky to have that university nearby! That’s awesome. I know what you mean. I attended a pool birthday party for the...

@housemzk Well I was given temazepam as my “muscle relaxer”. I’m taking them at bedtime right now (maybe about 5 nights in a row) but it’s a...

@kelpiemsp Are you wearing a night guard? Or were you given the splints and just decided to go the pt route?

@housemzk Ok thanks. I was on prednisone for 12 days at onset. I actually just ordered turmeric curcumin. Do you take anything for pain or...

@housemzk Thanks so much for those exercises! I’m sure they certainly apply to me as well. I’m glad your t and pain seems to be diminishing. I’ve...

@kelpiemsp Also, did they give you any kind of timeline to expect results. I know these things take time.

@kelpiemsp Wow! That’s crazy. You would think a specialist would get that right. Is the university you are going to a dental school? I actually...

@housemzk True. My dentist 15 years go told me that when I had my bite guard made (which wasn’t covered then either through different insurance)....

@housemzk Thanks for that! I hadn’t seen the one located in Mesa. I’ll call around Monday and get some consultation quotes. Ridiculous that this...

I have TMJ also and I’m sure it’s the cause of my tinnitus. What kind of dentist are you guys seeing? I cannot find a tmj “specialist” that will...

I know his is an older thread but if any of you guys are still around maybe you could answer a few questions for me. I’m sure my tinnitus is from...

@astaff14 I’m so sorry! I actually bought some professional musicians earplugs from amazon for this. You might want to look into that. I ended...

My GP recently prescribed it for sleep/clenching and grinding. It’s a benzo and has muscle relaxant effects to it as well. I’m only on 15mg and...

@Mathew Gould I believe I read somewhere that it could be anywhere from 3-18 months of tmj therapy before you see results but I don’t have the...

@Mathew Gould Those things don’t seem to make mine worse. I do drink a freaking ton of water though so maybe? I basically only drink water and 1...

@alleycat What nasal spray were you on? I ended up having a godawful ENT and I saw my GP literally right after. He called a friend of his who is...

@Nocturne Good luck in dental school! Let me know if you pursue treatment for the TMJ. I definitely will be after my ENT appt and...

@Mathew Gould Thanks for responding. No, I can only open it maybe 50% right now. I was diagnosed with TMJ about 15 years ago and had a night...

@Mathew Gould How long did you wear it before you started to notice a change? I’m thinking I’m in a similar situation.

I’d like to know as well. I’m thinking of talking to my ENT about it.

@Nocturne Hi. My t sounds like yours. Pain and pressure in the jaw and face and fullness in the ears. I’ve had this for about 4 weeks now and...

Thanks for posting! I’ve only been dealing with this for 3/4 weeks and I’ve found acupuncture to be helpful as well. It can be expensive so I...

@emmalee And if you don’t get answers or feel blown off go seek a 2nd opinion. I had a horrible ENT doctor visit last week. Told told me to buy...

@emmalee I’m sorry about your experience this morning. I’m so glad your ENT appt is coming up. It might be helpful for you to make a list of...

@emmalee Thanks! That little guy is my everything.

@Holly1987 I do! But I’m gearing up for 100+ temps soon as I live in Phoenix, AZ. I’m only about 3 weeks in but had the best day today that...

@astaff14 Any relief/changes? I’m about 3 weeks in right now with the exact same issue as you. I mean exactly the same. Had a terrible ENT visit...

@Sheamus I know this is an old thread but I’ve only had this going on for about 2 weeks. Mine is high pitched as well and I love the Rain Rain...

@MartinH How are you doing with the aids? Do they help with masking and making the t less noticeable? Do you have hearing loss as well. I only...

How did your appt go? @Nicola8478

@anusha Thanks for the tips anusha. I really appreciate it. It’s hard because I’m not sure what caused it. Tmj? Meds? I did take an ototoxic med...

@Samantha R Thanks Samantha. I’m looking into pillows and pillow speakers. I’m using some over the counter sleep aids now too. I’ve had trouble...

Thanks for this thread. I’ve only been dealing with this for a little over a week. I have my first appt with the ENT tomorrow and I’m nervous....

Thanks for this thread! I’ve got my first ENT appt tomorrow (only maybe 1 week in with T that was probably brought on by TMJ). My ears are clogged...

@Samantha R Thanks for responding Samantha. I can’t imagine going through this with newborns and a toddler. It’s so good to hear you are in a...

@Jason37 Thanks for your reply Jason. It’s amazing to me that strangers on a forum have been more supportive than my own husband. We haven’t...

@alleycat I know this is an older thread but I was wondering about your progress alleycat? I am pretty sure I have T from TMJ as well. I’ve had...

@billie48 Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, that’s the only way I can get any sleep at all. I’ve put the iPad on Home & Garden (for some...

@dayma @Clark Thank you both for your replies and encouragement.
