Had Treatment Before and it Didn’t Work?

How We Can Help With Tinnitus Treatment
About 5% of tinnitus cases are caused by dysfunction in your jaw. Our jaw physiotherapists can provide effective treatment for tinnitus that’s related to the jaw, neck and face.
Treatment involves releasing tension in the jaw muscle while strengthening your neck and jaw muscles. This eases mechanical strain on the ear, which can reduce or eliminate the ringing noise associated with tinnitus.
Our treatment programs typically include exercises, joint mobilisation, postural training and manual therapy that eases tension. This process takes time, but it’s highly effective in treating tinnitus.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For tinnitus that’s related to jaw dysfunction, we generally book 6 appointments over the first 8 weeks. You may see an improvement in your symptoms earlier.
The total number of treatments depends on the severity of your jaw dysfunction. Talk to our physiotherapists to find out more – we can assess your jaw and provide an estimate of how many treatments you’ll need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of sound, even when there is no auditory stimulus. It’s common for tinnitus to present as a ringing in the ears or head. Tinnitus can affect one or both ears.
The causes of tinnitus are not well known. It’s generally accepted to be a symptom of ear malfunction. In about 5% of cases, tinnitus can be affected by the jaw because of a connection between the jaw muscles and muscles in your ear.
When the jaw muscles are tense, they cause the ear muscle to tighten. This pulls on the eardrum and can cause tinnitus. An ear specialist may refer you to a jaw physiotherapist to assess any jaw dysfunction that could be affecting your tinnitus.
