I've got bad ringing too. I grind my teeth at night and noticed if I slide my lower jaw out, the ringing gets much worse, and the farther I push my jaw back toward my neck, it diminishes. It doesn't go away, but I can start to hear myself think.

So, whatever my particular brand of tinnitus is, it's influenced by positions of my jaw. My theory is that a bad car accident with whiplash and a concussion caused a cascade of minor to severe health issues that inhibit my body's natural healing forces (e.g. no stage 3 sleep to build T-cells and integrate short term memory).

One cause of tinnitus is a blood vein/artery, I can’t remember which, that runs too close to the surface near the eardrum. It can be fixed with surgery, but is very expensive and dangerous to boot.........
