Cervical tinnitus

Yes. I have had tinnitus for quite a while. Do not remember when I first noticed it, but have a new hearing aid that I hoped would help, but doesn't do much. Two years ago I was in a car wreck. The scans showed degenerative disc disease around the C2 and C3 area. I feel a little tingle from time to time. I have found info online about tinnitus being caused by this because it affects nerves around the ear. Still not real clear on it. I just found this info so have not brought it up with the man who fitted me with the hearing aid. I will not be surprised if he has never heard of it.

I’m sorry to hear of your accident. I had a whiplash injury over 13 years ago after a rear ended car accident on the highway (around construction area). How long ago did you have your accident and MRI of your cervical spine? Does it show disc bulges/herniations or bone spurs/osteophytes that are pressing on nerve roots and/or spinal cord? Is there any issue with the alignment of your vertebrae? This can cause pain/weakness/numbness symptoms and distorted communications between brain/body. You may want to follow up with an orthopedic spine specialist.
