Hello all, long time lurker, first time yadda yadda :) I've suffered
Tinnitus for about the last 20 years, and I've been at the point of
not noticing it (though it's always been there) for at least the last
18 years or so.
Last week I fell off my mountain bike and put my shoulder out of
joint. No more Tinnitus - I didn't actually notice for a few days
until I started to hear more clearly!
Anyone ever heard of this before ? I'm sure that the accident and
loss of T must be connected - cannot be conincidence, surely. I'm
awaiting an appt to see the Doctor to get my shoulder looked at, but
in the meantime it's been strange not being able to hear my T.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting!

Great idea! Now where did I put that bike? Helmet, don't need no stinking
helmet.

If that happen to me, I would cancel my appt with the doctor to look at the
shoulder. You have been given a gift that other people would give anything
for.

What caused your tinnitus? Unilateral? Same side as shoulder? And was was done
for your shoulder? (What drugs etc.?)

I tried this a couple years back. Unfortunately I didn't put my
shoulder out of joint, just a big scar on it and my elbow. Didn't help
my tinnitus either.
Just curious: I'm guessing it was in one ear, and I'm guessing it was
on the same side as the shoulder that you put out of joint as you
din't mention otherwise and seems to be the implied situation. If so
which side? (if you don't mind me asking)

I've no idea what caused my T, most likely listening to the likes of
AC/DC, Van Halen etc on full blast. Both sides.
Since the crash last week, it's gone fully. As of yet, I've taken no
pain-killers or anything at all - waiting on a Dr Appt (Thursday this
week).
I'm pretty sure that the crash and loss of T is connected - but I
cannot say for certain as I didn't immediately think "I can't hear my
T anymore" right after I picked myself up...

My ENT doctor says that the T sound is actually a sound produced
somewhere in the body. That is to say, somewhere in the body makes
sound and the inner ear hears it. I don't know how scientific this
explanation is but he is a specialist.
