What Causes Tinnitus In Ears?
Hollow sound in head on left side when clenching teeth. I also have tinnitus and tmj.
The tinnitus started suddenly 5 months ago. I had been going to a chiropractor for a year. he cracked my neck frequently. Can this be the end result of him doing that?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tinnitus in ears which isn't a condition itself but it's a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury, temporomandibular dysfunction or a circulatory system disorder. Stress and anxiety can also cause tinnitus and headaches. Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking ear. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and to find out exact cause. Doctor may order certain tests like audiological test , rushing test, high and low pitched test. Doctor may prescribe tricyclic antidepressants , alprazolam and devices like hearing aids and masking devices .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
