@Lane Sorry for the late response! Make sure your jaw is completely relaxed, back teeth not touching at all. Keep your shoulders relaxed, reduce...
Hi there, So sorry I haven't messaged you back, I didn't receive a notification. It takes a night guard to work, at least 6 months and stay...
@Melike Noooo, I think it’s the other way around for me. I think the ETD was caused from the TMJD. When my jaw started clicking, the allergies...
@Adriel93 Yes, I wore splint during the day and night, even at work. When I would answer the phone, I’d take it out. My boss was really cool...
@kelpiemsp Not anymore!! :) The splint trained my jaw to relax :)
I took the prednisone 20 mg and tapered down for 2 weeks. My cheeks were puffy way before I took the steroids because of the misaligned jaw....
Apparently my back teeth were touching for 23 years of my life... that is a big no no. Clenching = not good for tinnitus.
Go to your general doctor and ask for steroids. Mine did because I explained the only thing that helped was steroids. But it’s a bandaid and it...
A splint will absolutely help the T and inflammation. Also look into neuromuscular massage therapy. Your teeth should not clench!
@Shera It did actually. They were constantly stuffed so I could never blow them, it hurt too much.
@Tom Cnyc Thank you, that means a lot to me. I hope everyone can find their path to health too. :)
@kelpiemsp I am so happy for you! I’m happy I came back too, I honestly feel we should all write a manual/book on why inflammation causes...
@Shera Yes, my ETD came from my jaw issues! All that darn inflammation!
@Shera You’re not on you’re own. You have all of us for support and to help you answer any questions!!
@Shera I hear ya, I honestly didn’t listen to that. Every body is different, everyone’s ears/jaws/etc. are different. I just figured out what...
@oolongmonkey Hi, it was called the NTI splint and I also got regular neuromuscular therapy on my jaw too! Try it out. It was expensive, but...
@newbieT Yes, it definitely can. I got very very lucky but I researched and didn’t stop until something worked for me. I hope the same happens...
@newbieT It was a slow fade, I just remember after 2.5 years a noticeable difference after wear my splint for a couple months. Even 1.5 years...
@newbieT Splint worked just fine for me. I wore the splint almost 24/7. I’m not sure if a nightguard would work as well. I wore a NTI splint for...
@Lane Thanks, I try. It’s nice to be back and talk with everyone. :) I’ll read your post about OCD, my identical twin suffers as well so maybe I...
@Apolonia I didnt experience hypercusis but I did get ear fullness when I get a bad cold but it goes away if I take an antinflammatory.
@Lane In times of extreme stress, my OCD will pop its ugly head. My brain likes to likes to latch onto noises (similar to my old tinnitus) and...
@Michellejean It did not, my tinnitus flared only when I was sick or had severe tension in my jaw and neck.
@Bill Bauer I just went into my walk-in closet with my ear plugs, it's ever so slightly hissing. I had zero reaction because it's at such a bare...
@Michellejean Thank you so much. At first I didn't want to share my story with people that I meet, but if it can help just one person, I will. I...
@Agrajag364 Dental work definitely was the starter for me, plus horrible allergies and maybe an acoustic trauma. Look at all avenues. I believe...
@jimH That is so sweet for you to say that, and I'm happy to hear you are in a better place too. It takes time, that's why I didn't feel...
@Lane You’ve got it right, keep at it. It literally took me two years to see a difference in my tinnitus. Don’t give up hope, you’ve got this....
@Roy114 You never know, at least getting treatment for your jaw, should help. I did blame the festival for a long time, maybe it was a mix of...
@robHing Thank you so much! Of course, I get flare ups if I get a cold, but nothing like before. But I don't hear it 99% of my day, I don't even...
@Kelvin I know exactly what you mean. This is why I came back to write my success story. It doesn't happen overnight, it took me 4 years....
Hi, I know what it's like to have debilitating tinnitus, and today, it's 99% gone. It's not the first thought I have when I wake up in the...
@dboy Well no infection, no hearing loss. My TMJ that was primarily on my right side but now in my left. :( He said that I dont need to continue...
Hi @dboy In the waiting room to see the audiologist to do a pressure test and hearing test. He saw no sign of infection, yay! But my ear is...
@dboy I didn't use the drops today and I wont again until I talk to my ent. Got an appt with him in a couple hours (maybe my ear is on it's way...
Hi @dboy I dont any reaction yet but I've only been using them since Sunday and my ear is feeling better and the redness is gone. I just want...
@Aaron123 So I talked to my doctor and she said to take the drops... And I have. My ear is feeling better and the redness is subsiding. No...
Hi @James69 In large quantities yes, I took ibuprofen for only two weeks at a time (what my doctor told me to do) just to see if it will help...
@Aaron123 That's what I read too. My right ear is still hissing a little from the ear syringing. I took prednisolone so I'm hoping that...
Hi all, I was just diagnosed with an ear infection and I have this crazy drone in my ear. I do have have low level hissing sound from TMJ but...
Thanks @glynis , My ear is also in a lot of pain. I knew something was wrong, this sound is very different from my low level hiss. Just took two...
@glynis The loud echo I had turned out be an ear infection, I did indeed have a ton of wax. My reg T hasn't been so bad at all (gone really!)...
Hi @RoeB , I have TMJ induced Tinnitus and Flexeril really helped me too. It calms the nerves in your jaw so the inflammation dies down. However,...
Hi @Weswhat, It's never too late. My T was caused by my wisdom teeth removal close to 3 years ago, but I didnt have T till last year. The only...
@Falconfox You are so right about the anxiety part and just doing normal day things. Ive always struggled with anxiety so T made everything worse....
Thanks @Richard zurowski I hope one day I'll get to a point where I don't shriek when I hear a loud ambulance/motorcycle/lawn mower. I'm not...
Hi @glynis! I've enjoyed running so much since getting T. It keeps my mind occupied and I get my endorphins going! I can't believe I almost...
@mohamad-m I think its more paranoia since I didn't have any plugs with me and I was caught off guard! Those pressure washer thingys seemed loud...
@Sailboardman Thanks for the reply. It's pretty stressful getting anxious over everyday sounds. The last thing I want to do is cause any...
Hi all, I have been doing so well lately, my T has really improved from a ringing to a soft hiss. My T is from inflammation btw. However, while I...
@Asian @mikeshinod My T is also a little bit somatic too if I open my jaw wide. My T is all from inflammation. I believe it happened after my...
@derpytia I work in an office that's super quiet however when we do events we sometimes go to bars/restaurants. I work for a Chamber of Commerce....
@Uri38 Mhm!!
@Uri38 3-6 months. Muscle relaxers helped me the most and I stopped clenching and relaxing my jaw. I don't need the muscle relaxers anymore only...
@Uri38 hmm I feel like I can hear my heart beating though my head but I think that's normal and then it goes away!
It's just a light hiss... I have to plug my ears to hear it! When my nose drains (I know gross) it's gone!! In the beginning tho, it was loud and...
@Uri38 nope, they never even mentioned it!
@Uri38 Oh definitely, when I open my mouth wide it gets very loud!! Right now, it's super slight only in my right ear. I have to be in a silent...
Yes it's a slight hiss sound and it took several months with the splint to teach my jaw to relax... Some days it's barely detectable.. It's...
Actually my jaw doctor said not to wear the splint anymore bc I don't have a structural issue is fixed and it would do more harm than good (just...
