Tinnitus update

For several days my tinnitus and vertigo were getting progressively worse, which made me once again worry that I am developing Ménière’s disease, which has a prognosis that is very much Not Good.

And I mentioned this on a friend’s Discord’s venting channel, and someone else replied:

I had a family member diagnosed with Ménière’s and it turned out to actually be TMJ dysfunction from teeth grinding.

It was causing Eustachian tube swelling and thus the vertigo

This was actually super informative, because I’ve always had TMJ issues and pretty bad bruxism!

So, I started doing a bunch of research, and found a couple of useful videos:

I’ve been doing some of these for a couple of days, and while it hasn’t resolved everything, my tinnitus is already doing way better most of the day, and I haven’t had any dizzy spells today.

Here’s hoping, anyway!
