Hi all,

Well I'm getting TMJ physio for what my ENT says is musculoskeletal tinnitus and so far it's been helpful and the ringing has somewhat died down a bit.

Although I've noticed it's very loud and high pitched in my right ear as soon as I step out of the shower. After I use a hairdryer it goes away... Does anyone experience this?

My physiotherapist thinks it could be because I'm lifting my arm and twisting my neck while in the shower that sets it off.
 
@basma, omg yes! I have this too!

I've never had ringing in my ears, but after blindly agreeing to grommet surgery, I've been suffering with it for the past 2 months... after having a shower it is EXTREMELY high, same goes for the hair dryer, vacuum cleaner or even listening to music (not with headphones ).

How are you feeling these days though?
 
Same thing happens to me. After the shower it spikes up a bit, and then usually dies down after using the hairdryer.

I flip my head upside down when I dry my hair. I wonder if that has something to do with it...
 
Hey you all. It's been a few years. Are you still dealing with tinnitus and those shower spikes? Hopefully it's gone by now?
 
Same here after my recent ETD issues. I don't know if it has something to do with Swimmer's ear, or if water in the ear drum causes inflammation if you have ETD.

Weird!
