      I have ringing in my ears and I have like 2-3 different tones going at the same time sometimes.

      The 1 ringing tone I can turn my neck to the left/right and the ringing stops...

      Does this happen to anyone else??

      I have ringing from a misaligned jaw/neck... Any exercises I can do to help??

      @Mathew Gould @threefirefour Since ringing is less from turning neck either to left or right, means the upper superascapular region (muscles and nerves attached to the shoulders) are involved with ringing when not turning neck or head. Often the C1 C2 is also misaligned causing jaw function problems. The SCM is connected to the equation if tinnitus increased from turning head in just direction. That would indicate that the one of the SCMs is off balance.

      Stimulation of the superascapular nerves in the head and neck from injury or stress could result in activation of the MSN and in turn the DCN resulting in T and hearing loss or making T worse. Muscle tension in the neck combined with stress and bad posture can cause somatic reactions. With tense superascapular nerves present, even something like forward posture yoga can cause the DCN to react.

      Added: I would start with very gentle touching down the cervical spine and turn both ways into the shoulders.

      @Mathew Gould So sorry for multiple tones. Tell me more about the tones that stay when moving head. There's solid medical explanations as to when T decreases that some tones remain or become noticeable.

      I can't recommend any physical therapy videos from non doctors, because some show techniques that I think could cause more harm than good for some. Some videos seem to be just a bunch of nonsense.

      Tests such as X rays, CT, MRI, EMG, discogram and a myelogram may be needed first. At least simple 4 view X rays should be taken. If something wrong shows on a X ray with the c spine, then there may be nerve damage besides possible muscle trauma.

      I think that downward finger touching for the neck is fine it done properly. Moving down the neck in different locations either to the chin or shoulders is helpful. Neck should be inline with shoulders with neck and/or jaw tinnitus.

      Some of these videos have the c spine and body twisting all over the place. Unless all problems are noted, then twisting the neck could be counterproductive.

      Upward movement for the jaw. This would include very light gentle pressure (two fingers) in front of ears from chin to eyebrow on both sides, regardless if problem is one sided. Then followed from eyebrow to scalp.

      Can you please explain to me. I just don't understand. My T became worse in my right ear after a lot of stress and fear. I have a Anxiety Disorder. When I turn my head mine T becomes a lot louder, also when i bring my ear to my shoulder. But when I push on the bone behind my ear or on my muscle under the scule it becomes a whole lot softer.

      @sandra72 For you, I bet the day comes when you can't even hear your T.

      When I am working at desktop after sometime there is a spike which subsides when I change face position (look elsewhere).

      Anyone faced this issue? Is this wrong posture issue (face/neck etc)?
