Tinnitus

Tinnitus is often dismissed as something people simply have to live with, but the mechanisms can involve hearing damage, jaw tension, neck dysfunction, stress physiology, sleep disruption, inflammation, medication effects, and nervous-system gain. This chapter explains why tinnitus persists and why calming the system around the ear can be as important as the ear itself.

6 takeaways from this chapter.

• How tinnitus can arise from the ear, brain, jaw, neck, and nervous system
• Why stress, poor sleep, and threat perception can amplify sound awareness
• The role of hearing assessment, medication review, and red-flag symptoms
• How jaw, neck, breathing, sound therapy, and nervous-system work may help
• Nutritional and inflammatory factors that can worsen auditory sensitivity
• Where regulatory and nootropic peptides may fit in nervous-system support

Anyone with persistent ringing, buzzing, pulsing, sound sensitivity, or tinnitus flares linked to stress, sleep, jaw tension, or illness. It is also for people who have been told there is nothing to do and want a fuller map.
