      Joe Blow, I do believe this is what a TENS unit looks like.

      As far as fixing TMJ/Tinnitus problems I would get at least get 2 opinions on the matter. In my case my dentist said my jaw,bite was normal.

      I would pay $2800 if my tinnitus would go away and stay away, guaranteed. If t was the only reason for this operation I would not do it. Just my 1/100 x 2800 cents ;)

      well I got my splint for my tmj , and have had it for 3 days , the first night my tinnitus went away when I layed down at bedtime, the next day I had it at about a 4-5 and today it has been a 1-2, but I noticed the noise is softer when I have it. im praying it will take care of my tinnitus.. so far so good. first night neck was normal , felt good. yesterday my neck was achy and shoulders. today it feels halfway decent...:) thanks luckyman 316.. im glad I got the splint.how are you doing?

      In the UK there is the "daddy" of TMJ dentists the top man , he starts with bite plates ,then moves on to Braces the treatment can take three years and costs £10k ....... I have done so much research on this and wish I had the 10k ive done thousand s on my t and cant do it anymore.

      He said my lower jaw is way too far into my ears causing all sorts of issues.

      Real TMJD is no quick fix.

      I would spend a fortune to get rid of my T, but I am not sure a TMJD specialist would do it. But if you have the money go for it.

      Also I guess it depends in how bad your T is.

      I've just spent a lot of money at the dentist in the hope it would help my Tand it seems to have made things worse for me. I had some implants out that I thought caused my T (still think they did ) but the noise is now in my brain and it's made no difference - sounds louder now infact.

      I would just try a splint. I tried one but it didn't help. The only TMJ issue I had was a small mouth opening, no jaw pain

      I have bad TMJ and my jaw cracks and crunches all the time .
      I wear a mouth guard at night but need it in the day now also as that's the only time when it's in my jaw feels inline .
      When people hear it ,it goes through them .
      I might end up having a TMJ jaw regiment but I know my ears won't get any better as I have Menieres too....lots of love glynis
