I've had tinnitus since a bike accident. Hurt my left jaw, and the tension spread through my neck and low back.
Depending how I open my jaw, clench it, or move my neck, the noise will increase. Hearing is fine, been tested.
Fortunately I mostly don't notice it. The only real permanent effect is that earplugs, for example on a flight, actually make noise worse.

- graeme 11y agoInteresting, didn't know that. I imagine this is a complicated thing to study because the symptoms can't be seen by others. In my case a hearing test ruled out any hearing loss.
