Tinnitus from Infected Molar — After Root Canal My Tinnitus Is Down to Non-Noticeable Level

I got a root canal for an infection that I had no idea could be causing the tinnitus. And my tinnitus is now down to a non-noticeable level. I have had constant ringing for about a year. The day before I had the procedure, I had finally come to realize that my life wouldn't be that much better if it had silence in it and that I probably would have this ringing for the rest of my life, but that my life would still be as okay as it would have been. Finally, a kind of acceptance. Then the next day I'm practically cured, unexpectedly.

Just thought I'd post to let people scrolling by know that it might be in your teeth. Also I wanted to tell people that things can get better even after you've lost hope, whether the ringing stops or not.

 

I had a root canal and when they put on crown 3 days later T came along. I told the dentist and she took off the crown put a temp on. 4 doc told me it was a coincidence. 3 months of T now I have to go back due to the dentist thinks now might be botch root canal and cracked molar. So now I'm worried with the additional work I need to do will it make my T worse. I find out soon. I'm glad your T is better and I'm glad to learn it can come from dental, otherwise I had no idea. But I'm sure for me the damage is done.

 

I had an infected molar and had root canal last Friday. It's since then that the T has gone very bad. With earplugs it goes which is weird? Also if I move my head to the right it eases off a bit

 

ive had 3 root canals...removal of amalgams...molar extraction...with no impact on my t whatsoever

 

No impact for me in T as well - except for possible neuropathic pain because of that.
