Jay Finally Gets Relief after Dealing with Tinnitus and TMJ For 15 Years!

Meet Jay! 👋
Jay had spent the last 15 Years of his LIFE dealing with TMJ and Tinnitus, and after his wife had success with her treatment, Jay felt it was time for him to get looked at as well!
As Dr. Joe explains in the video, Tinnitus (ringing of the ears), is directly related to the TMJ pain, because of how close the TMJ is to the ear.
The issue itself didn't cause him too much pain, but Jay was tired of dealing with the non-stop discomfort that he felt every single day and wanted a real solution.
In the end, Jay now has to really concentrate to ever hear the ringing, and 50% Improvement overall has really changed his day-to-day life.
Jay will continue to see us at Barefoot Rehab for maintenance and to keep that ringing down as he improves each week!

Love your explanation of how holding in our emotions causes a tight mouth/jaw. Makes perfect sense.

@Hew Jarsols I have a tmjd semi permanent orthotic in. Pretty much is 4 extra long teeth on each side of my bottom molars holding my jaw in place in a forward position. But I’ll soon be seeing a NUCCA chiropractor for more help with my upper spine as it’s all connected.

Happy for Jay and the doctor seems super knowledgeable and wise. I've gotten a botox application last week cause of bruxism and I think it's also helped with my tinnitus already. It's all connected the neck, jaw, ears .. it's crazy. Good job everyone !

Hi guys - you are really doing a good job - I have been using the fascial distortion model (FDM) by Dr. Stephen Typaldos in my clinical practice for many years - the so-called "trigger band technique" and the "pinch technique" are also used for adhesiolysis thought - a very intensive, very direct technique - the advantage of the FDM is that the model makes its own diagnoses that can be understood within the model, which makes the model method-neutral and can then be used in all areas of medicine.

[@drchrisstepien]

very interesting Jan. I will look into this.

[@richardjacobs7632]

Edgar Cayce addresses this subject. It’s interesting. He describes a wide range of issues from 1st dorsal and 3-4-5 cervical impingement. Issues relating to circulation in that area. Issues from influenza. Also liver and kidney alignment.

[@robbie0517]

Teeth clenching can cause adhesions? Over lived with chronic stress& anxiety since a child. After Mom passed a couple years ago both went off the charts. My jaws became very painful from clenching I was doing without realizing in real time. I developed high pitched Tinnitus on left ear. Sometimes both ears and it fluctuates from high pitched, to pulsatile to crickets. Which I don't mind so much because it reminds me of camping. Seriously though, living with Tinnitus is torturous. Please if you can tell more about adhesions. I appreciate you posting this to help those of us suffering beyond words ❤

[@JenCole2107]

I've been dealing with tinnitus, vertigo, melody notes playing, hearing loss for 15 years too! I have to work , but it sure is hard . Always pressure in head and ears... Hard to concentrate , so spaced out most days. I cry all the time about this stuff cause it is unbearable! My dentist diagnosed me with tmj years ago, but I didn't take his advice about tmj home care. 🤦 Once in awhile my jaw will pop loud . Its never been constant popping or locking. Just every once in awhile it happens. So I'm not sure if I pass as a real tmj sufferer. I do find massaging it out helps the tinnitus & dizziness.

[@drchrisstepien]

It sounds like you have adhesions my friend.

[@richardgreen1986]

Very interesting. I'm suffering from tinnitus, clicking jaw and popping in my ear. Would this sort of treatment help? The tinnitus is only in one ear and is almost like a crowd noise. It also changes tone when I move my jaw and sneeze

[@drchrisstepien]

It's very possible, becausee the jaw seems associated. You might need treatment on suboccipitals in the neck as well. If you any stress or unresolved trauma, that will also help to go after those puzzle pieces.

[@SameerHhhh]

[@Alkmaar89]

I have tinnitus for 14 years now. You talked about not feeling heard and not being able to express yourself. well.. i stutter so i have never been able to talk about my feelings. After a few minutes I'm so done with talking that i stop and just walk away. I also used to grind my teeth, maybe i still am i don't know. When i bite down hard on my teeth the high pitch sound gets louder. The sound is like a old fat tv when you turn the screen on. Probably only 30 year old people and older know what I'm talking about 😅 Anyway, do you think i have TMJ? I really hope you say yes to give me some hope cause my best years have been torture.

[@lizanderson1669]

I have had tinnitus for a year now went to a young ENT doctor did hearing test of coarse I was diagnosed with age related hearing loss I'm 65 I asked her why are my ears always full and headaches that wake me up I also have had headaches off and on for the past year , I found a video on here for TMJ exercise started doing it and for the last few days I would say I have had 99.9 % better mine was mostly in left ear

[@allann7333]

Great video. When I started wearing an orthotic splint, I started clenching even more. I started feeling a burning pain in front of my ear lobe. I had to stop wearing the orthotic splint. Is this a muscle or joint issue?

Great video. I recently had Covid and after I got over it my ears started ringing and ears pop every time I swallow. My jaw is also super sore and clicks when I open it. I’m seeing a chiropractor but not sure I’m seeing result. Are you seeing patients with this come into your practice? Thanks so much.

[@drchrisstepien]

Yes, we are. Some of it is underlying adhesion as it was for Jay. But some of it is also metabolic, clean eating and restoring your regular level of nutrients. You may want to see a functional medicine doctor as well.

[@collettpropane]

@@drchrisstepien thanks for your reply. I’m currently seeing a chiropractor who put me in a 13 week care plan with multiple adjustment per week that tier down. It sounds like your practice but this guys plan is predicated on achieving the 45 degree angles in the neck and spine and everything else will heal. There are Eustachian tube adjustments and jaw alignments, but the program is based on the spine as the solver of all mine and other issues. Was this a similar plan Jay was on, or was he on more of a ear/sinus/jaw care plan? I realize there are no easy answers to post Covid issues, but I’m doing my best to hunt down the right one for me. If there are any care providers in the Cincinnati area that would also be helpful. Thank you so much.

[@drchrisstepien]

@@collettpropane We don't recommend adjustments. We stopped doing them in 2012 cuz we found they don't lead to permanent relief. We only do adhesion release work. We have a colleague in Libertuville, IL. One of best doctors in country. Or you can fly here if your current chiro doesn't work.

I have tinnitus which is constant high pitched which can sound like air is leaking, also a vibration/buzzing sensation in my head (sometimes i need to pop my ears). The tinnitus is more profound on my left ear and my jaw on the left side also rubs and pops when i open my mouth. I wonder if that all correlates? Also does upper CCI affect tinnitus? Like Atlas/Axis instability? Loss of lordosis with C1/C2 hitting the carotid sheath (vagus nerve/ jugular vein etc)?

[@drchrisstepien]

Yes tinnitus can be caused by TMJ and CCI. If your mouth opening or neck symptoms get worse AND tinnitus gets worse, that’s a good sign where your tinnitus is coming from.

[@danielr9594]

Question! :) My tinnitus (high frequenzy tonal hiss) acts strange. It can go away on times where I'm not tense and feeling stressed out, but the big majority of the time it's there. It doesn't behave like chronic tinnitus, and it gets much louder when i move my jaw and/or put pressure on it, especially on the right side. My dentist and physiotherapist have found out that I have a really bad bite that's crooked, some clicking and a lot of tension in the jaw, my neck and my face. It's rare, but my jaw has also locked a few times when yawning. Could these be signs that my tinnitus comes from TMJ?

[@drchrisstepien]

Sounds like your TMJ is a combination of TMJ, adhesion, stress, and mouth/teeth structure. So permanent relief means addressing all of these pieces.
