Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / November 2004ear stopped clicking
hey..I just noticed somethign with this mouth splint..about 7 years ago my ears went really weird one night and my jaw locked up...dont really know why, I was in agony..anyway since that night every time I opened my mouth my ear popped ( my non T ear)..I was just sitting here then and tried opening and closing my mouth and for the first time in 7 years my ear doesnt pop or click, woohoo lets hope it helps the T affected ear in the same way too...eventually. yay yay yay.....

They are, by design, made to eliminate the tention (caused by bruxism....i.e. grinding your teeth) in the TMJ area. If it has stopped your ability to make your jaw 'pop' in just this short period of time, that is wonderful. The popping noise you refer to is actually the TMJ (ball and socket) being displaced...it CAN remain in that position and requires someone, usually a dentist, to slide it back into its normal position. Don't keep 'trying' to make it 'pop' out like that. *´¨) . ·´ ¸.·*¨) ¸.·*¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.*´ ¸.·´ `·-* * Patty * `·-* >Sorry to disappoint you, Jenny. But, the splint will not help your T.

They are made to stop the teeth toiuching together. They may or may not eliminate any tension.

Try... (1)sleeping without a pillow (2)take a tablet of gingko biloba. Go to a doctor who has the experience of prescribing gingko so that you could get some reinforcement. Never mind the 'studies' cited around here.

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG Well, do you know of any authentic cases where correcting the TMJ cured the Tinnitus? Was the T measured before and after? Was there an audiogram? How was the T defined? Was there some sort of quetionaire before and after? Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com HI, love this group. I am a male age 75, live in Texas, have had tinnitis for last few years and tried to ignore it but once in a while It hits hard. This morning I was awakened about 3 AM with a very loud high pitched whistle in my ears. I have not been exposed to any loud noise and am not aware of any infections. Teeth are in good shape. (all original).Am over weight, 6' 0", weigh 244. This mornings loud whistle was new to me. VERY strong and loud. I take one aspirin each night. I am diabetic II. blood sugar was 146. Felt great otherwise. I do have some diziniess with regular (to me) tinnitis. I did eat two bowls of homemade chili last niglht. Nothing else changed. Could this unusual loud tinnitis be cause by this great chili or other alergy. Any help would be great. My regular doctor knows little about tinitus. How can I find a good doctor that can help me. Thank you so much for any help . Dp dpark411@sbcglobal.net wrote in part: >HI, love this group.

How can I find a good doctor that can help me. Thank you so much >for any help . Dp No one knows what may have happened during the night. With diabetes type II and morbid obesity, the chance of a stroke is pretty high. I myself would focus as hard as I could on combatting the obesity and diabetes. An audiologist or ENT who is knowledgeable about tinnitus may be able to offer some help in adjusting to it or in reducing its impact. Most of us have probably benefitted from avoiding very quiet surroundings, including using a fan or other sound source at night while sleeping.

Try salt free high potassium diet.. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com >the salt in the Chilli can be a cause for your symtoms. Try salt free high >potassium diet.. For me, it's the tomatoes. Salicylate content. Happens with pureed cauliflower, too. Susan Have you looked at the muscle tension page? http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml What happened during the night is most likely the result of tension that has been building up in the body for years.
