Tinnitus Has Been Gone for Days!

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this. Maybe better for "Tinnitus has gone for an hour" but this doesn't exist.

I just recognized the strangiest thing ever: After having sex, my T disappeared for about an hour or 1.5 hours. I was never surprised that I didn't hear my T during … (since I'm attending something more important . But this time it was gone for quite a while after it.
Anybody having the same experience?

 

I found that after having sex with my partner before bed it eases my T. We should conduct research on this haha sex all round people

 

That makes since I guess because you would be more relaxed afterwards lol

 

Off course it can. Stress gave me tense jaw muscles from clamping my jaw, and tension headaches before the T started, and tense upper neck muscles. Several physiotherapists confirmed that.

 

@AnneG

So happy for you for you! I can imagine it would be bliss, it would be for me and all of us suffering. I pray for your relatives that are missing.

 

That is awesome, Anne. I enjoy your special spirit of positivity which will help reduce your stress level. It seems going on vacation plus the Chamommile tea just calm and relax the body so much that T just can't find any excuse to flare up. Geez, the sales of Chamommile tea may just go up all over the place after your post. Haha. Seriously, I wish you well and hopefully your silence will stay or will come back often. You should update your success story post with this good news if T is gone for good. Keep fingers crossed. Take good care and God bless you and your relatives.

 

@AnneG
Thanks for the post. Did your t stay away?
Also, do you know the reason for your onset of t?
Cheers.

 

The field of medicine is divided into direct and indirect causes. If your argument is that stress can cause tinnitus, then I could equally argue that it wasn't really stress, but the fact that you have eg. a bad manager at work...

Bad Manager --> Stress --> Tense Muscles --> Tinnitus

So for all intents and purposes, it was the tense muscles that gave you your tinnitus - provided your physiotherapists can actually prove that. Which they can't.

Stress is a poorly defined term. Poorly defined terms have no real medical diagnostic significance.

Confirmed? I see. Well... your physiotherapists must have very special competencies given they are able to confirm something which the rest of the entire medical community would not be able to.

 

Did you study medicine or something? No. Tense muscles were confirmed, because of stress. And it does not matter if it was from a bad manager, the weather, the high work pressure or licking an icecream, the stress made my muscles sore and painfull, and thus giving me tinnitus. Somatosensory tinnitus actually can be visible on X-ray's. I have seen the proof of my tense jaw muscles which were in abnormal position on Xray. The dental surgeon confirmed that, he works together with the TMJ specialist I'm seeying.

 

My T hasn't gone but has quietened down significantly over the last few days. It's nice but I'm not getting my hopes up; it may just be temporary. Still, it's a more than welcome relief.

 

I personally am interested in Somatosensory tinnitus. I do have such a tense neck that i feel tingling on my right side of the face, around my right eye socket. It goes away and comes back. I initially though that this was something serious but I see the connection to tense muscles. Funny is that the day I got T I came back from gym and felt weird about my neck. I felt like I was feeling dizzy. Never felt like that after gym session. Went home, did last 5 min audio test at low levels 60-75dB. The purpose of the test was to adjust volume of the speaker to be perfect 75dB. Looked at the speaker at complete silence and then it started like somebody would turn the T switch on. Once I have heard T I never had any desire to do any more tests. I run away outside to relax.

 

I'm having cranial sacral treatment along with massage of the facial area as two types of treatment to help with my TMJ which was making the tinnitus worse on the right side. Both these treatments have helped alot and the tinnitus made worse by tmj is now equivalent mostly to the left side with the overall affect being a reduction in my T.

 

@Curtis

Good for you! I have heard good things about that treatment, apparently there is a long wait list around here with only 3 therapists and it is not routine treatment, so some people must be getting relief from various conditions.

 

That's so good to hear maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel for some of us, hope so anyway.

 

@Curtis

I thought Cranial Sacral treatment was controversial / forbidden in some places?

I got T as well in my left ear with more Hyperacusity problems. Now after a month again the left side is relatively quiet again. So TMJ can move, intensify or vanish. My TMJ specialist felt some thickening on the jaw bone. Now it's almost gone again.

I hate the fluctuations. My T now goes between 1/10 and 5/10. Depends also on sleep. Almost inversely correlated to facial pain. Lot's of facial pain is low T, facial pain gone is higher T.

 

No new updates for me. I may try the Low Level Laser Light therapy in December. It can't hurt. (Just my wallet). I'm also keeping an eye out on AM102 and SF0034, plus developments in cochlear hair cell regeneration.

 

What do you hope to find in LLLT?

 

I know it is a shot in the dark but I am hoping for a little hearing improvement.

A few people that I've talked to said that using the laser improved their hearing. I'm not an expert on this at all. I just heard that the laser can wake up some of the supporting hair cells in the inner ear and improve your hearing.

I've talked to an ENT about it and he said that the laser will not cause any harm. The only downside is that it might not work. For me, I'd like to just start trying some things. I plan to get one at the end of December. I'll keep everyone updated on how it is going and if I have any hearing improvement or not.
