A lot of people assign tinnitus to the ears, but just so happens that I had my hearing checked months before the accident. And my tinnitus...

Whatever they are -- they correct the fullness in my ears. And I am able to hear in meetings where I would otherwise be struggling. They are not...

Maybe your T is due to muscle spasms in your neck. Have you tried a muscle relaxer?
Anxiety will make your tinnitus symptoms appear much worse, so best to relax. I like to play healing music or calm meditation music. Feel...
Do you know the cause of your tinnitus?
Just curious, what made you try this technique?
It's not habituation. My T fluctuates wildly. When I hear silence, it is real. And when my T spikes, it's very intense. Sometimes it's in my...

Do you still have fluid in your ears? That seemed like a possible culprit.
Yes, this happens to me. I've gone an entire weekend without T, only to have it spike like crazy the following week. I've woken up in the...

I started with a Physical Therapist last Friday. So far, it's going well.
Well, Brittany, when your T goes away, make sure you post back with the good news. Don't just ditch us. Haha ;-)
I have had T for 2 and a half months. First month is the hardest. For some reason, exercise does exacerbate my T. Not sure why, maybe blood...
Yep, same with me. Seems pretty common. My T is from head / neck trauma, and not my ears. I suspect something touching up against my auditory...
Woo-hoo, another Friday! We put the T in TGIF!
Sharpfire - not all tinnitus is due to ear problems. Mine is from a car accident - head & neck trauma.
Oh, it wasn't a second accident. I was refering to the same one. Just saying that all I know about my T is that it's due to the impact of the...
Nevermind: I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. My T has really spiked today. All I know is that I was rear-ended by another driver, and right...
Sorry to hear about what happened to you. I plan on getting an MRI & MRA of my brain and neck, because it does not seem to be related to my ears.
What makes it non-fluctuating? I have tinnitus after whiplash, but mine fluctuates. I thought tinnitus due to neck problems tends to fluctuate.
Slamming your head on a concrete wall could definitely cause neck trauma. I'm not an expert, but focusing on the head (concussion) may cause us...

TGIF !! T is not going to mess up my weekend :-) Meeting up with old friends that are in town, and we're going out for dinner. Another...
My tinnitus was caused by whiplash (rear-ended at stop sign) a couple of months ago. I am pretty confident it is related to my neck muscles,...
Yeah, mine is similar. I had whiplash, so I feel like it's related to muscles in my neck. I am trying to stretch and strengten my neck to see...
Here are the links: This article talks about the symptoms of somatic tinnitus...
I'm at work right now, but I will send you links later. I am recovering from whiplash, too. But somatic tinnitus can occur from poor sleeping...

Breakthrough: I really feel like I'm on the right path by focusing on muscle tension in neck towards recovery. Last night, I walked the dogs...
