Cause of Tinnitus
My T is way different than all of you , ask me how
My pattern is: one day it's very loud, next day it's either 0 or 1/10. It's gotten louder tho.

Left side only. In head, not ear. No hearing loss. It's been 5 years now. When I put pressure on my ear end that meets the jaw end, my tinnitus goes very low in volume.

When I don't think about it it's not there. It does not mess up my sleep. When I try to squeeze the lower jaw with my hands from sides the tinnitus goes kinda away like to 1/10 but as soon as I release it it comes back.

It goes away after some days and then comes back for some days.

So anyone having such issue? Tried everything nothing works... I do need fillings in 2 of my end teeth.

Alright that's it I guess... thank you. :)
 
Check out @Greg Sacramento 's reply to the post below:
Now when I move my head my tinnitus gets louder.
Even when I move my head a little bit higher, my tinnitus gets louder. I hate it.

But when I press behind my ear on the bone then it becomes softer.
Greg replied:

Your neck may be slightly out of alignment (loss of some normal lordosis) and that may be causing all your problems and placing pressure on your SCMs. When these muscles are not in balance they pull on neck vertebrae and the mastoid area near the ears. Also suboccipital muscles. Most of the time a loss of normal lordosis is not a big deal as many will develop some loss as they get to middle age. If this condition is caused by up and down motion with a physical activity, then it often will include the SCMs and jaw.

Any treatment including jaw should be accompanied by soft treatment to neck muscles. With a little PT over time, you should see a big difference.
