For those who don't know, Sheldon has Tennitus or ringing of the ears. Usually caused by stress and tightening of the jaw. Can last for days or even years. Some people get stuck with it for life, cause their jaw doesn't line up from bad teeth alignment. There's a muscle you can massage on the sides of your neck, connected to your ear, and it helps alot. You should keep your chest high, stretch your shoulders back w/ a wall, and stretch your trap muscles to help mainly.

He developed it from playing electric guitar in a punk band. He had stage fright and would stand too close to the speakers trying to hide from the audience. They explained this in a flashback episode that never ended up airing. The band was called Raj and the Researchers. I used to work on this show and had access to content like this.
