I too have multiple symptoms, especially neck shoulder and tinnitus. Has anyone applied Dr. Sarno's theory with ringing in the ears and it has gotten better?

I have E*X*A*C*T*L*Y the same symtoms you have .... I am still in the recovery process but I notice that when my tension is going down a bit using sarno approach, so my tinnitus is ... its tension related in my case...
what kind of rigning do you hear ???? in my case, it a very high frequency whisteling ...
how is your neck pain ? unilateral or both side ... tinnitus on one ear or both ? loss of hearing too ?
regards

| Yes, I had (past tense) ringing in the ears. Sometimes it was so loud I could hardly hear anything else. I consider it a big emotional signal for me when it happens. It is the TMS boogeyman... |

I had tinnitus. It went away when my back pain went away. Neither ever came back.

| I had tinnitus several years ago. In my case it was purely psychological. It went away for good after about a year. From time to time it reappears briefly when I am stressed. |

Hi Peter: Thanks for asking. I had been going thru a difficult time in my life with trying to obtain a life long dream in my profession. It took three long years of ups and downs but I did get it! I went thru a lot of stress and I know that is most of what has caused these aches and pains and ringing. I am just trying to figure out how to apply it. |

| As I've posted before, look at www.tinnitus.org I got rid of my nerve-wracking, long term ringing of the left ear after reading this site, having just one session with a TRT trained audiologist in Greensboro NC, trying lots of noise conditioning (you'll learn more about that on the web site), purposefully exposing myself to louder noises, and using Sarno's principles. The opinions found on the web site are mostly compatible with Sarno's principles. |

joela, mine is also at the base of the skull by the way .. its probably involving the trigeminal nerve which is innervating the ear if I remember well. it could explain de tinnitus.
do you see any link between your neck pain and the intensity of your tinnitus ??.. does it increase when you clench your teeth for instance ?

the fact that it increases when you yawns suggest that its probably relatted to muscle tension .... so probably to TMS... I hope it is a little bit reassuring... If it was related to auditory nerve damage solely, it would probably not be dependant on your muscular activity.
by the way, joela, you can reach me to pdube@kineconcept.com
if you would like to talk about it.

JOela,
Hi Joan.
My tinnitus is increasing some days when I clench teeth. I also have TMJ. I
was in the process of treating it with a neuromuscular dentistry approach
when I discovered sarno. In my case its definitely tension related. My neck
has been sore for years but I had a very mild whiplash while playing hockey
8 months ago and it triggered nothing less than nasty TMS hell in my
neck... TInnitus appeared suddenly, followed by very aggressive upper neck
spasms on the left .. some drugs helped relieve the spasms like ativan. MRI
, CAT SCAN and ultrasound were all normal...
I stopped chiro, PT, osteo, accupuncture and massage 3 months ago to focus
on sarno... TMS approach is helping me. I feel very small improvements each
weeks... I have some days pain free, it is very variable at that time ....
my neck symtoms include crackling, rice crispies sounds, muscle spasms at
the base of the skull (sub occipital muscles). varying difficulties to
rotate my neck to the left or to do left lateral neck flexion ... tinnitus
, TMJ crackling. etc etc...
By the way. I am a Ph.D. in medical enginerring, so just like you I tend to
overanalyze too much myself ...
I could be kinda cool to keep track of our mutual progess i think !
P.
I cannot email you using this site.. Send me your email directly si I can write to you directly
thanx |

I read that you had good success treating your tinnitus with a TRT therapist. How long was your recovery process? What kinds of ups and downs did you have as you applied sarnos theories and the TRT therapy?
I recently suffered sudden deafness in one ear as a result of a viral infection. I now have constant tinniuts. I am hoping that I can do something about it. The TRT therapists seem to think that tinnitus is irrelevant to ones hearing status? I that what you were told?-R |
