Hello everyone,
I've had a stable, high-pitched tinnitus in both ears for about 15 years. It was always low and steady, and I managed to live with it without major problems.
About 10 years ago, I also developed another tone in my right ear, but over time it faded and almost disappeared.
Now, in September 2025, something new has happened:
After some neck tension and gentle physiotherapy (light manipulation and massage), my tinnitus suddenly became much louder and more disturbing.
Has anyone here experienced something similar, such as a tinnitus spike after neck strain, bad posture, or physiotherapy/chiropractic adjustment?
Did it eventually improve, and what helped you?
Any advice or shared experiences would mean a lot.
Thank you.

- The sound is now stronger, more intrusive, and sometimes fluctuates in tone (ringing, chirping, irregular high-pitched noises). Most of the time it feels louder in the left ear, but sometimes I hear it in both.
- I tried Ginkgo Biloba (120 mg daily) and physiotherapy, but instead of helping, both seemed to make the tinnitus worse.
- I have no hearing loss, no ear pain, and no dizziness, only the louder tinnitus.
