Why Does Rubbing the Back of Neck in Between the Ears Stop My Tinnitus?

[AllEars]

The only relief I get, other than masking it with sounds, is if I rub the back of my neck in between the ears somewhere.

It doesn't matter if I rub it or someone else, it seems to stop completely. Anyone else discover this?

I have no measurable hearing loss. How does this work, any idea?

Yes...rather obscure but often referred to as...RTBOMYNIBTES tinnitus.

At least you have an off switch.
What would I do in your shoes? Find a s/o with a massage background.

RTBOMYNIBTES? What in the world is that? I did a google search but found nothing.

Pretty startling you couldn't find it with a google search.
Its an acronym for: rub the back of my neck in between the ears somewhere

Sound it out.

Just trying to understand my tinnitus..... Seems strange..... Wondering if a chiropractor could make this last longer.

what last longer?
In the context of tinnitus, chiropractors are a good way to waste your time and drain your pocket book.
If you want to waste your money with a benefit, get a periodic message.
