Not Winning the Tinnitus Battle
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi All-
My Tinnitus started 4 months ago. My life has never been the same since. Basically a living nitemare.
I've been through 50 appointments at least. No clue from the doctors.
However, I have a issue that does not seem to get traction. If I tilt my head to the left or right the sound increases. If I extend my jaw the sound increases. If I raise my arms above my head the sound increases.
Is changing the sound from muscle movement conductive to hearing loss?
I had an ultrasound for my neck today (results next few weeks I guess).
I have an MRI next week.
Exhausting! Any advice would be appriciated.

I had an appoint today with an Audiologist and was able to try out Widex Zen hearing aid. It seems to help but only had 10 minutes to evaluate it. I have the text appointment next Tuedsay to have the hearing aid full time. I have a 30 day trial which is a good option.

I had a seizure 2 years ago (grand maw). I've not had one since. I was on medication for this but have been off this for a year.
I did fall a week before the tinnitus happened. Down a flight of stars and hit my head on a table. It was not a bad fall as I got up and was ok. That is the only thing I can think that occurred prior to the tinnitus.
It is important to point out that I have been going through accupuncture and manual message of jaw and glands. There hase been huge dips in the sound level. Last week I had 2 days of level 3 sound level and a day and a of of level 3. I would say 70 percent is level 10. Past 2 days 10 then woke up today with a 5 level.

I have hope with the hearing aid and masking but again only have 10 minutes of experience with it.
The audiologist did not feel it was hearing loss but it could be. The fact I can change the sound to a higher level with head and mouth movement is different. At least I hope.

I went to the dentist today for a dental guard. They would not touch on tinnitus or TMJ. It was just a ridiculous in and out processs. I tried but hey ignored me. But they fitted me for a dental guard I get to use in 3 weeks from now.

I have read in this page and a few otbers that a neurologist invilved with T os a good option, I also read about a guy named Daniel Shigo and a similar case like yours, look for it in the net and read about his story, he is a musician and gone through what you are going through, he used some kind of meditation o beat the Tinnitus.
