I go for muscle tension in the neck or shoulder muscles. Up to now practically no research has been taken in that area. Elly.

His work gives a lot of insight on the subject. Also this month a study was published in "Neuroscience" that targeted somatic tinnitus (likely disinhibition of cochlear nucleus or inferior colliculus) successfully using magnetic stimulation, but I haven't had time to spell it out.

Posts: 420 07/05/03 2:09 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Dr. Levine: "Of all nonauditory sensory systems, only the somatosensory system seems to be related to tinnitus (eg, temporomandibular joint syndrome and whiplash). [...] Some patients with tinnitus, but no other hearing complaints, share several clinical features including (1) an associated somatic disorder of the head or upper neck, (2) localization of the tinnitus to the ear ipsilateral to the somatic disorder, (3) no vestibular complaints, and (4) no abnormalities on neurological examination. Pure tone and speech audiometry of the 2 ears is always symmetric and usually within normal limits. Based on these clinical features, it is proposed that somatic (craniocervical) tinnitus, like otic tinnitus, is caused by disinhibition of the ipsilateral dorsal cochlear nucleus. Nerve fibers whose cell bodies lie in the ipsilateral medullary somatosensory nuclei mediate this effect. These neurons receive inputs from nearby spinal trigeminal tract, fasciculus cuneatus, and facial, vagal, and glossopharyngeal nerve fibers innervating the middle and external ear. CONCLUSIONS: Somatic (craniocervical) modulation of the dorsal cochlear nucleus may account for many previously poorly understood aspects of tinnitus and suggests novel tinnitus treatments."

Just a thought here: Suppose you go to a loud concert. At the concert, you throw your neck out by dancing vigorously. Later you get tinnitus. What caused it? An M.D. is more likely to say the music, because that's the classic way of thinking about tinnitus. A chiropractor will examine your neck.
