Can you use the app outside of the states ?
It would be interesting to understand the connection relationship between: 1)cervical/neck issues -> 2)Eustachian Tube Dysfunction -> 3)Tinnitus
I concur...
yes I too have eustachian tube dysfunction & tinnitus & mild cervical issue
I have tinnitus from weaning off of a drug used for fibromyalgia ….
I started getting tinnitus after a car accident where I had a bit of whiplash (cervical).
I am so grateful for your channel and all the educational videos you make! After watching this video. I believe I have somatic tinnitus. I am excited to research more about this! I have TMJ and when my jaw is painful the symptoms definitely increase in volume. I have it primarily in my left ear, but I experience symptoms in my right ear that come and go as well. The tinnitus began 2 years ago in my left ear, 6 days after a dental procedure. I'm in the process of habituation. I'm coping much better. I do experience noise flairs throughout the day. Symptoms flair mostly in late afternoon or evening. The noise and pitch of the tinnitus changes with sore back and neck muscles and when i feel jaw pain associated with TMJ. As well as from stress or anxiety. I have many strategies now that more often than not, help calm the noise and help alleviate jaw pain or back and neck pain. This has been quite the journey! Weightlifting is still a challenge for me because heavy weights or certain exercises that place strain on my neck or jaw do flair symptoms. Sleeping with a mouth guard helps, daily use of sound therapy, practicing slow de-stressor breathing, daily neck and jaw stretches, aroma therapy, message therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy. All of these are great tools to aid in relief. I am still on the road to complete habituation. But your channel has given me hope and tools to use to get relief. I now experience many hours of peace and quiet. The process of habituation really does work! Stay the course and don't give up. We will have good days and challenging days. I love your podcasts and shorts as well! Bekah :)
Thank you, Bekah! 😊
Have you tried a TMJ splint? I've heard some have success with reducing or eliminating their T with it? Trying it out soon. It's been 4 months and I'm willing to try it since I have TMJ. Best of luck to you!
@@JeffdaRev Hey Jeff! How are u doing nowadays?
@@ImTheKylo I'm about a 5 or 6 I guess. Ringing 24/7. Sometimes gets on my nerves, other times I forget it's there for short times. Trying to push ahead and accept it since it's been 1.5 years now. :-( Thanks for asking.
I really got used to my tinnitus and ı love it it teached me a lot . Now ım more healty reading more books doing more sport. How you look at it effects your life. Dr ben is an amazing person thank your for free information and strong community. If one day they find a cure we will go together my dear brothers and sisters but until that time we will grow grow and grow)
You actually love your tinnitus? Im not trying to make fun, im really curious about that. Please explain
I'm gona die of old age before she gets to the POINT!
I’m doing a protocol
The jaw is the culprit. TMJ or bruxis or both are likely triggers. I am going to pursue this possible cause. Excellent presentation. Thanks much!
TMJ has caused my tinnitus. Pitch increases when I thrust my jaw forward. I need help!
@@markwiatroski7985wow, moving my jaw forward also increases the pitch. Great observation
@@markwiatroski7985Have the cure ??
Thank you for this vídeo, I learned a lot from you today. I have some sort of tmd since I was a teen and had also lots of procedures done in my mouth (extractions, braces and implants) and recently the ear doctor said it also. I started to notice a vibration combined with low pitch sound in my right ear at work, specially when hearing sounds like the motor of a car or a car door closing or even something going against a metal shelf. Almost two years after, I have a constant sound in the right ear if I am not surrounded by other sounds; during the day it's peaceful, But when I go to bed It keeps me from sleeping for a long time. I've done only 2 sessions of physio/osteopath therapy and after the second one I got one week of absolute relief, but it came back. What triggers my tinnitus are vibrations in the air because of sound waves, and no sound at all... the lack of sleep during the week is awful.
Anyway, I just wanted to leave my story here, maybe I'm not the only one and somebody can share how they managed to cope with a similar situation.
Thank you.
me too！
@@coralee-h7e How are you dealing with it? Have you found some relief?
This is a very helpful video, but you all should not put "Somatic Tinnitus Cure!" in the title. You don't offer a cure at all here. Legitimate healthcare shouldn't employ these clickbait tactics.
Exactly
I have somatic tinnitus from TMJ, coming upto a year now. Heat therapy on my right side, once a day for an hour, plus Adam Fields TMJ videos 1-4 (2 a day) have helped improve mine, sadly not get rid of it however.
Thanks for the tip about the Adam Fields videos - they're great
Thanks so much for this ! I have these issues , left ear ringing plus upper shoulder knot , and I clench my teeth while I sleep
Same here
I clench during the day when anxiety is high and this is increasing my tinnitus. I am sure the bruxism is worsening the tinnitus. I do think a lot of tinnitus is stress related!
Thank you hardest thing is trying to sleep....
Well, I guess I have somatic tinnitus. I have a constant ringing in both ears but, fortunately, until now, it's not loud. But there are some positions/moves that I do that spikes it. Turning my head to the sides will increase it a little. Opening my mouth wide spikes it a litte more. Clenching my jaw goes all the way up.
You have exactly the same tinnitus reactions than me..but my "base" tinnitus is highly noticeable sadly, since the last 7 years. Have you done any type of treatment in this regard that you can recommend?
@@PCLanimator I haven't found the right treatment yet. I went to my family doctor: didn't give me a solution. Went to ENT, looked inside my ear, did some hearing tests: my ears are fine, I hear fine. Prescribed some Gingko Biloba: did nothing. Went to a dentist specialized in jaw: my jaw is fine.
I'm considering going to an osteopath, because of my back and neck. I'm kinda hunched over, my column is not straight and sometimes I get a stiff neck. Maybe the problem is there, I don't know.
@@TheGuzman thanks a lot for your response. Your path is so similar to mine! My doctors made the same tests to me, (the only difference is that I seem to have some hearing loss on very high frequecies, but nobody is sure if the tinnitus comes mainly from there), tried dentists (no problem there), I was also prescribed that gingko biloba thing with no results.
Now that I discovered this possible "somatic" cause I was thinking about an osteopath or something like that to help me release my constant tension on the neck... Let me know If you have some results from that! I´ll do the same if I do it first!
I have a same problem. When open my mouth i am hearing to much sound. I am going to osteopad. I hope everything will be good
@@mervecankartal Please, then tell me how it went, if it gave you good results.
My tinnitus is caused by using a mouse, if I stop using a mouse after two weeks my tinnitus is gone. I found TENS machine helped.
I’m curious as how this is possible?
Me as well
Thanks for I finally now know the cause of my tinnitus! It's my jaw. Now I have to figure out what to do about it. No body in Yakima WA knows anything about tinnitus.
Another superb presentation by Dr. Michelle that's jam-packed with helpful information.
I have tinnitus from last 2 years. But today as i was laying down, battling with tinnitus trying to get sleep, a daily routine for me. As i was having a constant tinnitus vibration in my ear, i hit a point on my neck just below the ear. Its like a switch when i hit it with a finger tinnitus is on, when i do it again its off. Jackpot. Mostly we get stressed when we don’t know how to do things. Like in corporate offices. Same level of stress this tinnitus was giving me as i was not able to debug it properly.
As soon as I figured out the connection between my always strained neck and tinnitus, i started looking for it on youtube. Came here after watching 2-3 full videos. This video confirms I have somatic tinnitus. Never been so happy lately. Even though it might will take me years to cure it but i will be very less stressed everyday as i now know the reason behind it and how could it happen to only me and not anyone i know.
hi i have last 2 years to i got that cause of remove wisdom teeth. but its somatin and i have no hearing loss. could you shae which spot in your nec helped you or what kind of relexation exercise you do to cope with? i have tmj too
Turns out the cure for my low frequency tinnitus is listening to Dr. Michelle's voice
Ty Dr. Michelle for explaining that. Ty for the video Dr. Ben. 🫶
You're welcome, Billy!
In my situation, it's strange that I hear the sound of a jet engine, but sometimes I hear sounds like tapping inside my ear drum, like the sound of a microphone being tapped by a hand.
This video was so helpful thank you so much ! My left neck muscle is the cause of mine I’m sure of it! I place pressure on it and the sound is gone I remove the pressure it’s back.
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful. :)
Yanno I don’t mind your channel and all, ive seen a few of your videos but it’s not helpful to add clickbait “cure” in the titles. It’s insulting and gives false hope to people. It’s not a cure to listen to cricket sounds etc etc and most “cures”are better worded as treatments/therapies (that work for some and not others.)
Otherwise, I do appreciate what you’re doing trying to create awareness and a community around it but cmon dude you’re in the field 😮💨
Thank you so much Dr Michelle for the very best Tinnitus presentation on you tube... Your explanation is so very pertinent to my condition. This has given me some direction in my attempts to get answers and relief... You are a class act, than you so much, John , Halifax UK
there is NO exercise to do here for relief. ONLY to detect if you have it. > : (
😂 like the video though.
I have TMJ and tight neck muscles. When I wake up from sleeping the T in my right ear bad. I have undergone PT for jaw, neck and right shoulder and did see improvement.
This video title is misleading , the best treatment for somatic tinnitus is a natural therapy treatment for you cervical neck or jaw etch .. good luck , I’m also having somatic tinnitus and try to do those treatments indeed
Thanks for the video gawjuss. If i press on the right or top or rear "right" side of my head only, it creates an additional static hissing i can hear. Not the left side though. And if i force my lower jaw forward i get the same additional/extra hissing on the right side near my ear area somewhere. But my Tinnitus is on my left side mainly. No hearing loss up to 8000hz in hearing test - all normal. WTF?
me 2
Very informative and helpful. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Exactly what is needed!
Thank you Dr Michelle
You are so welcome, Janet!
Thank you! This is exactly what im dealing with. The ent just keeps say you have T but thats it no solutions…. You saved my sanity!
You're welcome, mokotoko. Be well! 🙌
ENT’s are worthless, truly. Audiologists always steer me in the right direction.
Sometimes it whoosh louder then other and pressure cones and goes worst then ladt time
So please help me out. I had a very very tough 2023 with high level of anxiety, unbearable stress and a certain degree of depression. Now (summer 2024) am better and slowly coming out of this. About 9 months ago I started feeling this noise, strange sensation or you could call it ear fullness or ear discomfort in my left ear. I must also mention that I have a history of jaw clenching, teeth tapping and grinding. Went to my doctor he referred me to an ENT he ran tests on me and concluded I have hearing loss in my left ear put me on medication and it’s been over 2 months and no real improvement. When i clench my jaws the noise is more intense, when I turn to the left it’s more intense and when I open my mouth wide it clicks but I have no pain. Is this somatic tinnitus? What is this please 😢 ?
It sounds like you may be experiencing somatic tinnitus, exacerbated by jaw clenching and movements. It's also important to address your non-somatic tinnitus possibly caused by hearing loss. Using a mouth guard for jaw clicking could help, and it's a good idea to visit your local audiologist to treat the hearing loss and manage the tinnitus
I'VE HAD cervical tinnitus since I was born, will this help?
It might! Cervical tinnitus related to neck and TMJ issues can sometimes benefit from exercises aimed at improving muscle tension and joint mobility.
Thank God for this video
Wow this helped me thank you. Makes so much sense. I guess somatic T is good as it can be temporary T.
We're glad to hear that you found the video helpful after experiencing tinnitus. Thank you for your kind words, and we're here to support you on your journey to managing tinnitus. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Take care!
How can I know for sure that my tinnitus is somatic? Would someone be able to help me and/or walk me through?
If you turn your head left as far as you can or turn your head as far as you can to the right and the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus increases, then that is a strong indication that you have Somatic Tinnitus. The same if you lower your bottom jaw as if you are yawning and the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus increases then again it's an indication of Somatic tinnitus. Obviously if you have ringing and it does not increase if you turn your head or lower your jaw, then it's not Somatic tinnitus, it's tinnitus. Both are different types of tinnitus. They say Somatic tinnitus is the better of the two because it's a physical cause and in cases can be alleviated or reduced. After 16 years I finally found out on my own that I had Somatic Tinnitus by reading articles and looking at videos because many doctors and specialists dont know the difference. My doctor had never heard of Somatic tinnitus until i explained it. Now hopefully I can decide on treatment.
if i clench my teeth, my tinnitus goes higher Does this are somatic tinnitus? right ear, history vestibular neuritis, now vestibular migraine*
Thank you so much! This video helped me a lot, I found that tongue exercises (mostly rolling my tongue clockwise and anticlockwise while keeping my mouth closed) help lessen my perception of tinnitus.
Wonderful! Glad it helped. :)
Well, I’m pretty sure I don’t have somatic tinnitus because the noise is constant no matter what I do, but I do have some thing that nobody can figure out,,, every now and then I get a different tinnitus. It’s a quiet roar in my right ear, but at the same time, it causes a visual disturbance,, it doesn’t last long only a couple of seconds, but it happens on and off at different times during the day. I had an MRI of the brain because I thought maybe I had a tumor, but it came back clear,,, I have talked to my regular eye doctor And he has no idea what it is. I ended up getting an appointment with a retina specialist thinking maybe he might know or have had somebody with that complaint but he’s never heard of it so here I am experiencing something that nobody else has had but me.Today it was especially bad and quite frequent. HAS ANYONE EVER HAD TINNITUS THAT AFFECTS THE VISION??????
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Since your regular eye doctor and retina specialist haven't encountered this specific complaint before, it might be beneficial to seek a second opinion from a neuro-ophthalmologist or a specialist who has experience with neurological conditions that can affect both hearing and vision.
Hi there… I definitely have somatic tinnitus. What are your thoughts regarding neuroplasticity? such as Neosensory’s Duo for Tinnitus or Clarify for hearing loss?
mine gets really loud when i push my jaw forward. This all started about 1 year into having braces on my teeth. It also comes in goes and is in both ears.
I have Somatic Tinnitus. Now what? What do l do next? Where do l go to get it fixed? Are there clinics or centers that deal with this? You say cure ! What cure? What help?

Is it possible to schedule a talk with someone, even if im not from US or Canada?
Yes, we would be happy to help you. Use this link to schedule a complimentary consultation: treble.health/international-consultation
Very informative and dry until about 12 minutes but not as helpful as I had hoped and basically being told ‘go to the doctor’ (seen a load and a load of dentists) who have already said nothing can be done). I was hoping for specific TMJ and neck exercises to try, but I’ll look to Google or youtube. LOL
When I bite down on my left side it goes up and I get fullness/pressure feeling around my left ear and face area. Feel like it’s neck or jaw related but no one can tell. I can deal with the tinnitus but the ear fullness feeling like something is in my ear is annoying
Can in ear sound generators you all sell help this?
Yes, they can. Watch this video of Tamara's success story with sound generators from Treble Health: ruclips.net/video/GM1bmXDqivQ/видео.html
@@treblehealth I will right now thank you
My tinnitus gets a little louder ( ringing ) in my right ear when I move jaw forward. Is this somatic tinnitus ? I also have tightness & stiffness in my neck quite often, but that does not change my tinnitus, it's only when I move my jaw forward. Thanks
Gary, you asked some good personalized questions here. My answer depends on more information that I do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health and we can do our best to help you.
Gary, exactly the same for me. No neck tightness though. It really affects my sleeping at night.
@@treblehealth good idea noticed worse when I jutted my jaw out. Can I exercise myself. Scotland Gb
I notice my tinnitus increased as i clenched my jaw
Often times ? Its often
لطفا زیرنویس فارسی هم اضافه کنید ..متشکرم
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, right now we only pay for subtitles in English.
I have almost no tinnitus but when I start chewing, doesnt even have to be food, just clemching my teeth is enough, I get a massive tinnitus. But my dentist says I have no TMJ because I dont have much pain when he manipulates my Jaw
Seeking a second opinion could be beneficial. It seems that your jaw may be the underlying cause. You might consider exploring Plackers Mouth Guards available on Amazon, as many of our patients have reported relief from tinnitus (linked to their jaw) by using these mouth guards at night.
Hello! I was same ant after my tinnitus started 6 month ago 😢 how are you feeling now?
It's very funny how people try to find thousands of causes of tinnitus.... it doesn't make any sense. How can one affliction have a cause in 30 diseases? There are people who have spinal disease and do not have tinnitus.... there are people who are deaf and do not have tinnitus.... you are looking for causes by force because you do not understand the condition. Tinnitus like any other chronic condition has one cause.... over-activation of the nervous system and hyper-stimulation by stress. Stressors can be many things even lack of sunshine so improving your health is important but the most important factor is emotional - you have entered a state of distress. The tinnitus is so frightening that you don't believe it's just from a fight - flight response. and you're looking for causes.... it stresses you out and you prolong this state, you get obsessed.... you won't get out of it that way. Ben has good intentions but errs....
If one thinks that tinnitus can be from the neck then you haven't come up with an idea where that neck is sore from? Maybe by stress and anxiety?
Do you all offer the ten therapy?
No, we don't
Can somatic tinnitus be pulsitile? I know that vascular problems can cause pulsitile tinnitus, but I’ve read that is more of a whoosing sound. Mine is high pitched and changes loudness in sync with my hearbeat.
You likely have pulsatile tinnitus. This tinnitus is vascular in origin unlike subjective tinnitus. It could be as simple as high blood pressure or stress that can be easily treated. Your doctor should refer you radiology for an MRA or CT scan to determine the any vascular pathology. Pulsatile tinnitus can be treated with medication and lifestyle change or through stenting of a constricted (stenosis) vein or artery. Make an appointment with your GP. I’m dealing with the same issue. Good luck.
@@jacklondon295thank you! Can I ask what yours sounds like? I’ve heard it described as a wooshing sound. Mine is more a constant high pitched static that gets louder and softer in sync with my heartbeat. Opening my jaw wide or turning my neck to either side make it louder.
Mine sounds exactly like yours. High pitch, in sync with heartbeat. ENT ordered an MRI. Any change in your situation since you posted this?
@@hammer3921 i had an MRA and there was no aneurysm. It has faded and now comes and goes in loudness. I went to see an expert in Atlanta (Douglas Mattox at Emory) and he said the MRA would have ruled out immediate danger. I’m supposed to come back for a CT angiogram if it gets bad again

So just curious when its TMJ is the tinnitus reversible or it just brings the tones down with physio therapy etc..?
Great question! The answer can vary depending on what is causing the tinnitus. If the tinnitus is solely caused from the TMJ, the sound therapy would reduce the perception of the tinnitus and we would recommend seeking treatment for the TMJ. See our blog article about the relationship between TMJ and tinnitus. treblehealth.com/jaw-disorders-and-tinnitus/

I love you too much you are angle
Jutting my jaw forward takes my tinnitus up two octaves. Nothing relieves it. I do have well controlled Parkinson’s but with very weak legs.
I have the same thing. I don't have TMJ, but I do have issues with my upper neck. My tinnitus is about 8khz ringing and the volume increases with a slight lowering of pitch as I move my jaw forwards. I wish I know how to treat this.
My tinnitus gets louder and lower pitch when I jut my lower jaw forward….. also if I pull the skin on my face it gets louder when I look left and right it gets hella loud in my left ear….
I just started getting deep tissue massage of arms shoulders neck and face…. And right after that massage I get chiropractic adjustment in the next room. It is def somatic and upper cervical neck problems causing mine.
@@siredwardthethird5923 Same here but I get some relief by using my hands to push my lower jaw back toward my neck. Went to a physio TMJ specialist today who gave me exercises and suggested I continue doing my gentle jaw push-back maneuver 5 times for 5 seconds five time per day.
where are the exercises???? 😂 change the title, and say you are just doing propaganda, be honest, why is this so difficult for "doctors" or whatever you are?
Commercial video only. Nothing for help
Thank you! I have ''Somatic Tinnitus'' i am almost sure... when i tighten my neck/jaw muscles the pitch go's up.
Me too ✋️
Same here
Exactly here, but my medic just said, that has no cure so get used, mine is louder when i eat or if i lie in the bed or floor i guess it's due to my neck
@@Adrian_Umbra Yea exactly! I am also not sure where it's coming from but i lean towards my jaw being the source..
@@SynthStreet maybe there is a way to soften it, it's weird that is getting louder over the last year when it was static for it's first 3 years so that must have a logic explanation
I find that the louder tinnitus in my right ear is triggered by the SCM muscle on that side. If I attempt to stretch it too much it will make it worse. This also affects my TMJ on that side. These things TMJ and neck muscles are definitely linked together. PT has helped in the past.
This is mi case: constant bilateral tinnitus from 7 years now (slightly different in tone and volume from one ear to the other). Always, and I mean even before it went constant, I always heard a high pich tinnitus sound when turning the head to the extreme side to side, when I open wide my moith (like yawning) and when I moved my jaw forward. I though that was a "normal" thing!.. so, maybe my constant tinnitus can be also from a somatic cause??
Can the pitch of tinnitus that is brought on by anxiety be changed by head and neck movement? Can anxiety induced tinnitus be somatic too? I feel my tinnitus is brought on by anxiety but I can change pitch moving neck forward and turning neck to the left. I met with Treble Health Friday but forgot to ask that question. Dr. I met with thinks my tinnitus is anxiety induced and I did explain I can change pitch with certain movements. My neck, traps and back are and tense due to anxiety.
Of course
I'm currently withdrawing from prescription medication (benzodiazepines). I've read numerous studies and through support websites that tinnitus is a common withdrawal symptom. What are your thoughts on this?
Have there been studies using brain electrical mapping and/or PET?
I always had tinnitus a bit from my tmj I recently hurt my neck recently and it’s been acting up when I relax my neck like do hot compress it settles down
Since February of 2023 I have seen multiple types of doctors from ENT (3) to neurologists (6) dentists (2) and not a single one of them can figure this out, so I have done research myself. I have had MRI, MRA, CTs and audiograms. They found I have narrowed transverse sinuses, but the neurosurgeon does not think this is the root of my tinnitus. He thinks it something with my jaw. I came across your video on somatic tinnitus I cried because since February of 2023 I explained to all these doctors that when I protrude my chin out or put my shoulder to my head or stick my tongue to the right the sound gets louder, and they all look at me like I am crazy. I have always thought it came from my jaw and neck. The one thing that will stop the tinnitus is to take a hot shower and let the water run over my head for a period of time which after a few times of doing this I read it is a way to reset your central nervous system. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and assuring me that I am not crazy and there is hope out there to get some help for this condition.
Please tell me how to improve I m going through same
Of course yer not crazy and of course it gets louder. .. Keep trying neck / jaw exercises... be gentle and relax... try this exercise its really helping me: ruclips.net/video/xkcrGuCOP4o/видео.html
I have had tinnitus since 2017, I passed out and when I woke up I started vomiting then I completely lost my balance and couldn't walk or function properly. This lasted 4 or 5 weeks and then went back to normal. During this time the tinnitus started in my left ear. I instinctively feel that its all coming from my left shoulder area. I was exercising at that period of my life and feel like it could have been an injury to my shoulder (I often have a very sore left shoulder)....who knows! Anyway I just live with it and it doesn't bother me too much (I don't allow it to) but it would be lovely to hear just silence for one more day.....
У Вас болезнь Меньера..
I was freaking out because moving my eyes creates a sound in my head, this video has helped me come my nerves while I wait for an appointment with an ENT. It started as a very loud roaring in my left ear, now it is a constant ringing, but eye movement causes a sensation and sound which seems to be deep in my brain. I have been fighting with the doctors trying to be taken seriously. I have been healthy all my life till now, after a lifetime of paying insurance premiums one would assume I deserve to be taken seriously.
There is a program on German national television in which rare diseases are explained after the patients have gone through an odyssey and where 1 doctor recognized the problem by chance.
The lady could change the tone in the brain with her eyes. It reminds me of what you wrote.
I have a similar type of tinnitus. It is related to my facial nerves (bilateral, but stronger on the left). I have to eat soft food otherwise it goes nuts. If I press just in front of my ear, the tone gets louder. Also, pressing the bottom of my left cranium (just behind the ear and down at the base of the skull) it gets louder as well. The nerve stalk must run through there as well as my face. Anyway, there were times when it would rage, but it is currently calmer and quieter. I assume something is being pinched along its path.
Thank you for this video. It helped me realize that I can drastically increase the intensity of my tinnitus with specific jaw movements. Now I feel like I’m better informed to explain my symptoms to the ENT doctor and hopefully find a solution to alleviate my symptoms.
I'm glad the video offered insight into your tinnitus triggers. Being able to articulate this to your ENT doctor will be incredibly valuable in finding the right solution for you. Best of luck with your appointment-I hope it leads to effective strategies to alleviate your symptoms.
Similar here, stretching my jaw wide open increases my tinnitus loundness for a moment and changes the pitch too. I get also a lot of cracking and some limited pain around the jaw. Also noticed the jaw got this weird assymetric shape throughout recent years. A local dentist specialising in bruxism also told after examination of my mouth and muscles inside mouth he sees typical signs of bruxism. Tomorrow I will see a physiotherapy specialist for the first time who I know worked with TMJ disorders, bruxism etc...
All in all, info from this channel gave me hope that tinnitus can be actually managed somehow ...
- 'Band aid' in form of masking sounds (when it gets really bad)
- Hope of improving the state in general by treating tmj disorder (which I suspect but also had a suggestion from an 'ear doc' but I somehow didnt follow it at the time) and/or bruxism (confirmed by 1 specialist)
BTW this specific vid masks my perceived ~11kHz tinnitus well: ruclips.net/video/DJscKr4RV_4/видео.html
It is the first vid that actually worked to give relief ...
Hope that summary helps anyone to guide with their issue...
Thank you so much!! My experience has been a challenge. The ENT told me "I don't know." I called an oral surgeon and they want $500 to just talk. TMJ chiropractor work hasn't seemed to help either. My T gets louder when I bite down and open my mouth wide so I assume it's somatic??
My tinnitus I believe is somatic, primarily present in my left ear but foresure coming from my brain after a car wreck in September, probably related to whiplash. If I press on my jaw it literally screams but goes right back down to base when pressure is removed.
Also side question, will you be going over the palm springs conference that took place recently, it seems Dr Shores device showed promising results with phase two trials and would be curious to hear your thoughts on the the potential of the device based off what we learned. Thank you again Dr. Thompson and Dr. Michelle!
have you found a cure, i have same problem
Somatic tinnitus can also arise from no structural issue. I have fibromyalgia and somatic tinnitus is a common side symptom with that. It's pretty awful and only affects my left ear. This is because my limbic system is sending pain signals because it perceives danger from normal stimuli. The tinnitus matches the severity of the fibro, so when my fibro is minimal, so is the tinnitus. When I have a flare up, the tinnitus is just whistling. Just crazy.
Hi all I have somatic body tinnitus through my tmj 1/ if I move my next neck left or right it goes louder 2/ if I push my lower jaw out like a monkey it get loud / if I have a daft nap on sofa I wake up it's loud 4/ the minute I settle down in bed it starts to get loud 5/when I wake up in morning it's loud 6/ stress is what makes your tinnitus go so loud sort your stress out and you can manage it, don't get me wrong it's hard to cope with some times once you get over the first 6 month it's easer good luck
I think I have the same symptoms. Do you have hyperacusis as well? Thanks
@@feiwong70 hi Phil yes I think I have that aswell , you know what does my head in the heaters in van I don't know if it my tinnitus or heaters. I've had this 6 month and it's been a journey I bit in to a Greg's baguette and heard a snap in my jaw 5weeks later I went to dentist a
@@feiwong70 and she said I get somatic body tinnitus through my tmj she said go to a physio it could be tension in neck spent fortune of chiropractors ostrapths reflexology that lot still got it stress is the key but it's hard to keep stress down when you have this condition good luck mate
@@rodwayroofing4927 I have had tinnitus on left ear since 2011. I have had all kind of medical MRI tests and treatments from ENT, TMJ craniofacial, Spine/Cervical doctors, neurologist, Acupuncturist. None of them helps. I’ll actually revisit and have hearings exam and this time I have more information to narrow down. My trigger with bending my neck backward and jaw muscles are spasm in the morning. I also hear rattling sound at the end of sentences. Weird stuff. I believe it all comes down to stress which I have had so many years.
@@feiwong70 thanks mate for that bit of info about your neck I was adamant I had disc problems in my neck what was giving me tension in neck what was making my jaw out of alignment causing my tmj. My girlfriend bought me a sport neck support hot and cold pack it worked because I'm a roofer my head and neck is alway hard back mmmmmm I'm going to go back to wearing it again thanks again for info about neck
Mine gets louder when I open my jaw wide, but supposedly I don’t have TMJ?
There was not 1 exercise that helped relieve anything in this video. Please change the title.
Can somatic tinnitus sometimes start after a loud noise such as karaoke singing. I have previous neck issues that caused chronic pain in my arms
Yes, tinnitus can sometimes start or worsen after exposure to loud noises. Your neck issues and chronic pain might also contribute to or exacerbate tinnitus. It's important to address both the tinnitus and any underlying issues with your PCP
Good video. Completely misleading title though ☹️.
I find most of their titles misleading 🙁
You don't sound like a doc
I like to think of myself as a cool doc, not your average everyday doc! But on a serious note, audiologists are indeed legitimate doctors within our specialized field of healthcare. We hold a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree, which involves four years of post-bachelor's academic and clinical training. This extensive education equips us with the knowledge and skills to diagnose, manage, and treat hearing and balance disorders effectively.
I have tinnitus just in my left ear... if i bend my neck to the left - it gets lower, if i bend to the right, it gets louder.... i dont want to bend my neck to left for the rest of my life lol
It sounds like you've noticed a correlation between neck position and the intensity of your tinnitus in your left ear. It would be a good idea to visit your local ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation.
@@treblehealth my 1st appt in just under a month, thanks
I've always felt my tinnitus gets louder when I'm cold, and can be loud first thing in morning. It's more like 'noise' than ringing, could this be congestion, due to mold, fungal etc? I heard these can be problems with tinnitus and interfere with hearing.
Hey GM, you asked some good personalized questions here. My answer depends on more information that I do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health and we can do our best to help you.
@@treblehealth OK thanks, thought you might be able to give me some things to try out as you speak to people regularly..
Maybe you are grinding your teeth at night. I have anxiety and have bruxism but mine is during the day. In periods of more anxiety my grinding worsens and tinnitus also worsens.
Thank you so much for explaining! Very helpful. I think I can conclude that the pressure on the back of my head in combination with tense jaw muscles cause this type tinnitus. Hope it will go away one day. Thanks again
You're welcome, Julius! Glad it was helpful. Enjoy exploring our other RUclips videos, as well as blog articles on our Treble Health website.
I have tinnitus only in my right ear. When my jaw goes forward my tinnitus get louder and i also heard crunsh in my eardrum when my jaw moved The sound of my tinnitus like mixed tonal and sometimes get louder, constant or reduce.
Happy Holidays 🎄🎁✨
Happy holidays!
My splint or mouth guard stops me from yawning so stops me from sleeping. Its weird.
Does anyone else here have tinnitus with patulous eustachian tubes and tmd?
Where are the exercises?
This is what I have
No exercises here.
I had acupuncture performed on the back of my neck which dropped my tinnitus a lot. But the needle insertion hurt so bad the doc would not do it again. It’s not supported to hurt. He said my neck was a mess. I have noticed that if I clinch my teeth together real tight my ringing goes up. My acupuncturist is gone. Need to find another one willing to try the neck again.
PS: My tinnitus was brought on by antibiotics given me by a dentist.
My PA sent me for a hearing test. Test claimed I had no hearing loss. And that was it. Determined I would have it for life. :(
I’m sorry to hear that. Even if your hearing test didn’t show loss, there are still ways to manage and potentially improve your tinnitus. If you’d like to explore further options and get additional support, use this link to schedule a complimentary telehealth consultation with one of our tinnitus experts. treble.health/consultation
Please can I pay for a Telehealth appointment with Dr Michelle so that we can discuss my symptoms (which I'm certain are somatosensory tinnitus) I have very minor hearing loss in one ear, but everything with me points heavily to somatosensory, based on my own research and also listening to this. I am happy to pay for a consultation.
Thank you for your interest in Treble Health, Peter. We are accepting new patients and would gladly consider you as a new client. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health to sign up for an appointment.
