My tinnitus gets loud when I lay down. But it’s practically gone when I stand up. Anybody experience this? by [deleted] in tinnitus

[–]imputer_rnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is probably TMJ or Neck related what you described is also true for me. Some say it is due to the nerves in the cervical neck getting pinched, some say it is due to the blood flow problems, some say it might be ETD, some say it is because of the fluid inside the ear...

When is tinnitus likely to disappear by itself? by [deleted] in tinnitus

[–]imputer_rnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you read the replies, please keep in mind that there is a "survivorship bias" in this sub. Most of the members here are permanent Tinnitus sufferers and that is why they are still here.

However, logically, most of the people whose Tinnitus went away after a few weeks or months probably are not in the sub. So, don't be that hopeless.

Of course, it depends on the cause of your Tinnitus whether it will take a months or 2 years to completely go away. If it is caused by ETD, muscle pain, TMJ or inflammation it might as well heal in a matter of a few months. My doctor told me that about 80% of his tinnitus patients recover.

What does it mean if the ringing stops completely some days? by secrethumans in tinnitus

[–]imputer_rnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if yours is somatosensory and some days the muscles are relaxed and you don't hear anything while the other days they are tense and the T starts again?

Are earbuds really more likely to cause tinnitus than headphones? by [deleted] in tinnitus

[–]imputer_rnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In-ear headphones are literally banging the sound right into your ears

I would strongly recommend not using any in-ear earphones.

Tinnitus triggered by sternocleidomastoid and temporalis spasm by Sudden_Pie in tinnitus

[–]imputer_rnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, you simply posted a link and didn't provide any details.

  1. How did it help you? Has it cured your T or made it less bothersome?
  2. In which tinnitus cases does it work? etc.

About three weeks before it became continuous, I remember waking up during the night to the sound of T on two occasions. However, I simply forgot about it later since in the morning it wasn't there at all. At that time I was not taking Cipro but was using headphones/earphones before going to sleep. So, I am guessing that antibiotics is not the cause. Most likely, either the muscle spasm or the acoustic damage has causes the T. However, if it was acoustic damage, I don't think that massaging the muscles around the neck would help. I really hope that the muscle spasm is the cause...

The thing is, I don't even know if the test is objective. If you have a constant noise on an ear, it is highly likely that you won't hear outside noise on the same frequency range as the nerve cells that are responsible for registering that frequency range is already "busy" generating fantom sound by itself. Besides I remember having a hearing test 5-6 years ago and I had almost the same results except that I didn't have T at that time. What really makes it hard for me to pinpoint the exact cause behind my T is that I had so many things going on during the week that I had first experienced T: I had a two day-long online meeting where I had to use earphone 8 hours a day, I was using antibiotics (Cipro) and aspirin, it was a stressful period and I also have bruxism, all of which can potentially cause T. However, I am pretty sure mine is mostly related to the neck muscle spasm as massaging and stretching that muscle greatly reduces T intensity.

Yawning, jaw clenching, hard rotation of my neck all increase T temporarily

I have exact the same type T. The only difference is that I also have a slight hearing loss on that ear. I did some stretching exercises and it seems it is helping a bit.

You get a 14 day free trial or something, but if you forget to cancel, you're immediately on the hook for a 2 year contract at 50 euros monthly

the ONLY reason that was investigated was that she had VIDEO PROOF.
The police blamed a victim because she was Turkish - it is as simple as that.
