o.k. so, this is crazy. I have had major sensiivity on my upper 4th tooth on the right and I am going to be away from civilization shortly for a bit. My dentist sends me to an Endo and he takes an X-ray , feels my gums.
tells me that I have muscle cramp in my right upper jaw.. hurt like a bugger when he pressed on it. So I pay my 195.00 and he sends me home with this small, round gelatinous heating pad that can survive the microwave for about 20 seconds.. perhaps 23.. but they can explode. So I do the minimum 3 times b4 bed and three times today. he tells me to switch sides after my tooth sensitivity is under control.
I will do that.
I can hear out of my right ear, and the ringing is minimal!!
How crazy is that?
Nine years and I can almost hear.
It is because I grind my teeth at night.
He said it is very common, most dentists and Endodontists do no not know about it
Inflammation of the jaw muscles can press upon the auditory nerve or the inner ear canal putting pressure on the cochlea causing partial deafness or ringing. Also, the Eustachian tubes may be blocked as well,causing a buildup of pressure in the inner ear producing the same result............
