Hello Dr Nagler
Today I was sitting at my desk at work, my T was pretty bad today anyway .
I was wearing a soft foam earplug in my left ear due to noisy colleagues on my left when I bit into a hard mint with my front teeth. I have TMJ in my left jaw. The mint snapped and instantly my tinnitus screeched up a notch and I'm not sure if its came back down or is still there because it was a bad day anyway.
I've had this or something similar happen before, but not as severe, but why does it happen? Is it because the jaw joint is so close to the ear and moves like this disturb the mechanism?
Do these types of spike subside?
Thank you again.
