Tinnitus Virus
all people with tinnitus or doctors answer?
im 15 years old I have had tinnitus for over three years now. i came up with the theory after learning that the vzv virus never leaves the body but hides in the central nervous system, so i thought maybe when people with the infection are exposed to loud noise, the signals in the ear nerves disturb the virus and the tinnitus begins. i then looked into it on the internet in depth and found that scientists have discovered that the virus is found in the middle ear. the virus is a living organism, right? so like us it will have a tiny electrical current which could be interfering with the ear signals reaching the brain. also in my case my tinnitus is linked to the nerves in my teeth because when i grit my teeth the ringing becomes more Intense. tell me what you think? this is just a theory and im more than likely wrong but i want to know what other people think. by the way i got the virus years ago when i caught chickenpox.
Jason, you probably have TMJ disorder and not tinnitus. Ringing in the ears or tinnitus is a symptoms of jaw tension and as your problem comes up when you grind your teeth, it probably is TMJ.
