There is muscle tension in your neck on the side of the earpain.

My personal method is to clasp my hands behind my back, pull my
shoulders down, while stretching the top of the head (not the chin) to
the ceiling. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times.

There are other suggestions on that page.

I stoped the Betahistine yesterday, after a visit to my ENT doctor, who
said that if it did no good for me in the about 3 weeks that I took it,
then it is no good.  I  also crashed cabbage with a grater, and stuffed
my ear with it, around 16:00. Now, around 23:00, I feel a slight relief
from the cramped feeling in my ear, along with a good yawn that helped
it. Maybe it was the yawn, or the cabbage, and definetly that I stopped
that damn Betahistine. Maybe also a post that I read in which the
author said that Prozac made him shift his consentration to the outside
and not the inside, and so I shifted my concentration outside. I also
think that there is a positive feedback loop between the tinnitus sound
and the muscles of the ear bones. The loud sound make the muscles
cramp, which allow less background sound to enter the ear, which makes
the tinnitus louder in the absence of background masking sounds of high
frequency. And so on. I wonder: Is there something that I can put there
to relax these muscles?

I looked at vitamins and minerals recommended for  tinnitus, and the
recomend Magnesium, which my multivitamin pill include only 10% of the
daily value recommendation. Why does it include only 10% ? Is it OK?
Enough? or should I get more? Is that something that the body has
trouble to get rid of in case it have too much of it? I also see that
the ginkgo content is 60mg standardize extract. Is that enough?

I continue to look for solutions, I have seen these magnetic ear
phones, maybe I'll make myself such, or take an ordinary magnet and
rotate it next to my bad ear.

I also read about growth factors that can cause new hair cell to
develop in the inner ear. And that it was found naturaly on birds, and
was tried on mice who don't have it naturaly. And it worked successfuly
on mice. It was from 2000, and they said there that it is 10 years from
being applied to humans. Any news about that?

I also tried to search Dr.Z.Shemesh work, and found the abstracts of 15
papers that he wrote. From reading it, I understand that he is working
on and research the nervous system side of the problem, and not on the
recoverring or regeneration of inner ear hair cells. Did I get that
right?

To Ellye Byrne: I don't feel any tension on my neck. Do you feel it, if
that is what you have? Actually, I think the neck is quite relaxed, I
move my head from side to side, no pain, though my spine don't like it
if I bend it to much there ... By the way, my tinnitus is from a slap
on the ear, I think it would be defined as trauma.

I used betahistine before and the moment I took it I experienced a
softening of sound.  But in your case it seems you are not reacting to
it the same way I did.

In my view, there is a possibility that some tissues around your ear
may have been damaged by that slap, which in turn produced some
blockage of minute blood vessels.  How about trying to cover that part
of your head with a hot towel several times a day and see if you could
experience improvement.  Remember, it takes tiiiiiiiiiiiime.

I bought "magnesium citrate" 200mg pills, and "Megasorb B complex-50"
the next day and started to take it on the evening.  My ring was almost
gone, but then it started to get back gradually. I kept on with the
cabbage, and made a juice of it, thinking that it is more convenient
that way. I kept it on the fridge for next time and then ... I had put
a cold cabbage juice in my ear. It hurt, my eyes went left and right
like I have stopped after a long spin around myself, due to convection
effect on the balance organ, I suppose, and since then the ring has
returned at full strength. It has been two days since. I thought it was
over :( now it is back. On the up side, I don't feel crampness in my
ear now. If it didn't ring so damn loud, I might have been happy about
it :(
