I developed unilateral tinnitus in 2024 for no apparent reason. My hearing is excellent, and the ENT gave me a clean bill of health. A few weeks later, the other ear became affected, and in the following days and weeks, I developed middle ear myoclonus (ear rumbling and buzzing), teeth chattering, jaw stiffness, facial spasms, and skin sensitivity on my face.
This went on for over a year but began to improve with chiropractic treatment.
Earlier this summer, I started going to sleep and waking up with no tinnitus at all. When I blocked my ears, I heard absolutely nothing. It did not feel like habituation—it simply vanished, for more than two months.
And then it came back.
I am at a loss because I have continued with both chiropractic and physiotherapy, so I cannot understand why it would return. I am just looking for some words of encouragement, I suppose—something to reassure me that I am still on the right track.
