New Spike, Very Scared

[sergio—1234]

Hello

I`m new here guys, i have been having tinnitus from 2009 due to a firework explosion. At the begining it was a very difficult situation but until the past thursday it wasn`t a big problem for me because i was used to it and only heard it in silence. My problem is that i am a very nervous person and i usually grind my teeth and jaw clenching (bruxism).
The past thursday while i was grinding my teeth i start to notice a loud ringing in my left ear and i felt a little bit dizzy, then after one or two hours the loud ringing got lower but i still heard a ssss sound in my left ear. I was in the doctor and told me that i had an inflammation of the tmj

Now i feel my ears like covered and also a hurt in my ears, especially in the left one. So i am very scared because i have thinking that my tinnitus can get louder because of that.

What do you guys think, this can be a permanet spike?

Anyone have experienced the same?

I know that my english isn`t perfect so thank you for everyone to read it.

Best regards
Sergio

Nothing wrong with your English, you should see some of the terrible posts online and people put their name and photo to it. No shame at all....
TMJ can make tinnitus worse and it might help if you see a specialist. Do you listen to music through headphones or attend clubs, concerts where loud music is played?

Also pain in the ear indicates tmj...
