Ears Ringing


Bunyan

Recommended Posts

My wife had a chiropractic 'adjustment' years ago that immediately caused her ears to start ringing. Been ringing ever since. Everybody NOB says there's nothing that can be done to alleviate it. Just occurred to us there might be technologies down here that aren't available NOB. Anybody have any experience with this?

Also looking for information on plastic surgeons. We know about Montaña Plaza Doc. Looking for other options. TIA!!!

I'll second finding a better (excellent) chiropractor.

If the first chiropractor caused it by mis-"adjusting" your wife's first cervical vertebra, the atlas ("C1"), or if the first chiropractor adjusted her jaw position wrong ... then a good chiropractor who understands how to increase the space for the nerve bundle that runs between the mandible (lower jaw-bone), the skull and atlas ... might cure the problem.

When the mandible and/or the atlas (C1) are mispositioned, they close down on a nerve channel that holds a nerve bundle that includes both the nerve from the inner ear (the vestibulocochlear nerve - auditory vestibular nerve) and the trigeminal nerve from the face,

When that nerve bundle is compressed, our nerves from our inner ears can start to pickup signals/cross-talk from the other nerves in the bundle, as one cause of tinnitus.

Note: Pushing ("adjusting") the atlas (C1) backwards can be nasty ... because the chiropractor has to jam his fingers into the back of her throat - jabbing the soft tissues of the back of the throat really hard to try to ram the atlas (C1) backwards - away from the jaw. ... also triggering gag reflexes.

If that chiropractic solution is just not desirable, some audiologists and dentists have had patients self re-adjust their lower-jaw position and simultaneously readjust their TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) ... gently ... , by placing a clean chop-stick across our bite - placing the chopstick between the upper and lower teeth, just behind the cuspids (canine teeth).

The person then relaxes their jaw muscles, gently holding the chopstick in place for 2 to 10 minutes, while consciously gently allowing the lower jaw-bone to drop down and slightly forward.

Gently massaging tight jaw muscles with circular motions as she allows her mandible-jaw to relax and drop, paired with chop-stick therapy, can also help.

The last solution (chop-stick therapy plus jaw-muscle massage) came from one of the finest dentists we've ever known.
(and it can help when we have hot-sensitive or cold sensitive teeth, to naturally gently reposition the jaw - to stop lower teeth from striking the upper teeth, esp when there are TMJ issues)
