My sister has been suffering from tinnitus for a while now. She just found out that she has TMJ. Her dentist sent her to a TMJ specialist, who fitted her with an apparatus to keep her from grinding her teeth which can be blamed on stress. As all CML Warriors know, we are under plenty of stress with our CML and the side effects from our medicine. She is also seeing a muscularneuro massage therapist, who is also helping her a great deal.
If you think this could be your problem, have your dentist write a letter to your insurance company that this is a medical problem and not a dental problem and they will pay for your treatment. I sincerely hope this info will help some of you suffering from tinnitus.

Have not found anything that works to correct. A noise machine helps at night. If you find something that works, let me know. I agree with Richard H...lots of things can cause it...and my literature search shows that there isn't much you can do about it. Tom in KY In a message dated 8/9/2010 9:34:07 A.M.
