I believe so. I also seem to have some hyperacusis - most sounds seem louder to me now, even though I rationally know they are not (no, brain, the sound of ceramic plates hitting a metal fork is not that loud.) I finally got my audiologist's hearing test - as I strongly suspected, I have...

Nope. It's not my perception of the tinnitus that grows louder. Sure, I can perceive it as slightly louder within the first few seconds... And then it immediately starts to grow MUCH louder. We're talking 10x-20x louder - from so subtle that the hum of the fridge will mask it completely and when...

That sucks, man. Just try not to focus on it at all and it'll return to normal, with any luck.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. I'm no expert but I agree with what others have said that this sounds like a combination of multiple factors. Personally I believe my tinnitus was caused by TMJ as it does not respond to my emotional state whatsoever no matter how...

It is definitely not psychological. I have noticed many clear mechanical causes of my tinnitus that have absolutely nothing to do with anxiety/stress. I am often a pretty anxious person but even when I am extremely anxious I have noticed absolutely no change in my tinnitus whatsoever; it has...

I am in the exact same boat. I think my tinnitus in the left ear was probably induced by TMJ (and maybe the stupid COVID-19 vaccine as well...). A little less than two weeks ago I had no problems, and then suddenly I've got muscle spasms in my neck and back, clicking in the jaw on the affected...

Hello everyone, As of about a week and a half ago I suddenly got tinnitus in my left ear. I wasn't doing anything in particular to "trigger" it , but I hadn't been taking good care of my body before that - not exercising much, smoking a lot of weed and drinking a lot, working a sitting desk...

Hey, your story really helped me. I wasn't thinking about TMJ at all when I got an ear infection but I have just noticed my ear with tinnitus clicks when I do TMJ exercises, while the one without tinnitus does not. Moreover, doing TMJ exercises seems to noticeably reduce my mild tinnitus to...

I am interested that you say that exercise helps to reduce your tinnitus because it is the same for me. I have had ear infection induced (probably? I think?) tinnitus for about a week and a half now and the only thing that reduces it at all is exercise. Plenty of things spike my tinnitus...
