Has anyone experienced a condition where after the onset of tinnitus, the
frontalis muscle (muscle of the forehead and top of the head) goes into
involuntary spasms to the point where it seems that it is totally beyond
one's control to relax it? Is there any technique that would help with
this?

Thanks!

I have never seen or heard of frontalis muscle spasm associated with tinnitus.
Best treament for the muscle spasm is Botox injection. I don't believe it wll
help the T, but let us know if it does.

I rather imagine that it wouold also be caused by general tension in
the neck.shoulder muscles.

I had been experiencing somatic discomfort or pressure moving from
side to side at the back of my head until about 2 months ago when I
had it taken care of by an acupuncturist www.yongsheng.ca. Once
again, it goes back to the same question: WHO is doing it?
