Thanks, Al. Much appreciated. TMJ-Tinnitus definately seems to fit my
symptom(s). Will have a good look at this.

On a separate but somewhat related note:

Noise cancelling headphones: I was thinking of buying a pair for airplane
travel (I travel a lot) to reduce noise intake. But if they just flip the
outside signal 180 degrees doesn't that mean you are still bombarded by
noise (just flipped)? It wouldn't help preserve your ears... just make it
more quiet, right?

The latter is correct. T-gone is a fraud.

Since no one has mentioned this before in this thread i'd just like to
add that noise adds up with time, i.e a pretty low noise level can do
harm after a heavy (noisy) day and on the same note a pretty loud hour
or so can be ok once in a while.

If i work in the orchestra during the day and sit going through takes in
the evening my ears take it bad.

Search for sound level dosis on the net to better understand the
importance of not working with sounds too many hours a day.

And, good luck!

Intresting aside to that....

You'd think brass players would be notoriously deaf. Not so! They're
protected, firing off that riot of harmonics forward in front of them
at a very high Q. It's the poor first violins BENEATH them that go
deaf from having the trumpets blow their brains out when the conductor
demands a fortissimo! I was watching the San Diego Symphony rehearse
one time years ago during "Le sacre du printemps." I swear I could
see the violins and violas cross their eyes during every BLAT from the
brass!

Orchestral trivia: Do you know the actual lyrics (yes, they do
exist!) to the opening few bars of that work?

It's sung, of course, by the bassoon, who sings:

"IIIIIIIIII wish I was an English horrrrrrrrn...this part is written
way too high for meeeeeeeeeeee...."

Stay away from caffeine, aspirin, acteamenophen and about 100 other otc drugs
and your tinnitus will fade. Taking Ginkyo Biloba (sp?) also helps

An "Audiologist, MD" is a very rare bird. An Audiologist
has at least a Master's and is certified by ASHA to test and
diagnosis hearing. An Oto-Laryngologist is a MD that
specializes in hearing and speech disorders. They work as a
team. The MD to check for disease and the Audiologist to
check for hearing performance.

Note: Some hearing aid dealers are certified Audiologists,
but not most.

Say what you want to about Oxycontin, but I've been taking it for a
thoracic strain, and I must say, it's good stuff. It's weird, becauase
you still "feel" the pain, but it doesn't register as "hurts". That's
important because it stops you from doing things that might exacerbate
the injury, since you still feel it, as opposed to just numbing it,
which could lead to overconfidence and re-injury. I never knew it
worked that way until I started taking it. Now, I don't know why
someone would take this stuff recreationally, definitely not my cup of
tea. But my pain was in the 7.5-8 range on a logarithmic 0-10 scale,
where a 9 would be a 3rd degree burn and a 10 would hopefully have me
unconscious. I could maybe sleep if I remained motionless and had a
blue ice block on my shoulder.

This is not a good injury for a piano player to get. Oxycontin has
saved my life.

I didn't realize that, but my point was, this is not the sort
of question you should pose to anonymous dillettantes on USENET,
but to a licensed professional...

You're hearing jaw muscles contract.

I didn't know that sounded like tinnitus tripling in amplitude.

You can't hear a sound if you tightly contracting your neck/jaw muscles? I
definitely get a high-frequency sound, something 6-10 kHz I'd say.

I get this noise too if i do the forward jaw push (pretty extreme)
however how tinnitus sounds is very personal ... So you can't state it
sounds like tinnitus, it's just a (in my ears) noise with no low freq.
Useless exersice?

Well, the sound doesn't change. What's there only becomes louder. I can only
hope I have TMJ tinnitus, which seems to be one of few types of tinnitus
that can be treated. I'll have to see a specialist obviously.

We all hear a little body noise if we listen hard in quiet
surroundings. And we can all induce that "rushing" sound in the ears
by tensing the face in a certain way. Are you sure you're chasing a
real problem?
