Migrated. See bioThis is very good to know if you have tinnitus
Efi (nap pet) ๐ฆ๐ค@ellietheyeen it kinda works, wth
Josh Jersild@efi @ellietheyeen I once had someone explain to me the mechanism of tinnitus:
when working normally, the hairs in the cochlea will build up an electrical charge over time and then when the hairs get stimulated by sound, the movement of the hair causes the charge to dissipate.
When the hairs break due to damage (and it's usually the high-frequency hairs) they have no way to dissipate the charge through motion, so it keeps building until it's enough to just fire spontaneously
@efi @ellietheyeen Given that, I wonder if the back-of-head drumming is enough to jostle what's left of the damaged hairs/follicles and get the charge to dissipate so that it has to take time to build back up to tinnitus range again
TrueNorthSpice ๐จ๐ฆIf you follow the advice in the OP you could cause permanent inner ear damage and end up like me, not only with tinnitus, but vertigo attacks so severe some days I can't get out of bed and walk across the room to the bathroom and sit on the toilet , without assistance
@TrueNorthSpice @JoshJers @ellietheyeen if softly tapping my head could cause permanent damage I would be an amoeba wth
And where does it say "softly tap" --it says "thump".
please do not distract from my point, thank you,.
@TrueNorthSpice @efi @ellietheyeen honestly I'm curious about the mechanism that would cause such damage here - do you have any good references to this?
You can do an online search--- inner ear crystal misalignment.
@JoshJers @efi @TrueNorthSpice
That does not help at all as it does not address the specific point
It's very easy to go do a search about inner ear crystals, tinnitus and vertigo.!
muting this convo for obvious reasons...I stated the reasons why--you can check credible medical sources like teaching universities.
@TrueNorthSpice @ellietheyeen @efi search engines are fucking broken right now and I thought maybe someone who knew about this might have a good reference. Was an honest question, but go off I guess
@TrueNorthSpice @ellietheyeen @efi yeah fwiw I did a search and nothing I could find easily had any bearing on how the described action could cause said crystals to dislodge
Not that you're going to see this but yeah - tapping the back of your head with your fingers while holding your hands *on* your head seems unlikely to have enough percussive force for what you're suggesting - unless you have Herculean finger strength
LP still can't spell Ainmhรญcon@JoshJers @ellietheyeen missing whatever nonsense went on here, but tangential interesting factoid on that note: some mechanisms of tinnitus are actual real noises inside the head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus#Objective_tinnitus
the body is wild
Natanox ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต๐ธ@efi @ellietheyeen Can you tell me what "soft spot that resonates" they talk about? I've no clue.
Tenkoman@Natanox @efi @ellietheyeen The area below the Occipital bone where the skull and spine are connecting in the middle (so the part in which the head goes over to the neck)
@efi @Natanox @ellietheyeen true - most headaches are also caused by the muscles going from there to the shoulders --- another way to locate it: The area where the hair on the heck looses a pattern and feels disconnected to the main head hair

@ellietheyeen now if there was a picture that shows what exactly they mean. There is no "soft spot that resonates" like that, what are they talking about.
No Do Not Do This๐ because there are many conditions that cause tinnitus and if that patient's ear "crystals" are not misaligned you could cause them to go out of place, and increase the problem, and have attacks of severe vertigo!
And the damage could be permanent.
Do you have any source for that?
Only Sharts๐จ๐ฆ@ellietheyeen still got the ring-a-ling-ding here, oh well.

Does not appear to work for beta blocker tinnitus .
I can โseeโ how this might work for some kinds.
Ugh.
The thumping made me nauseous

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern accupuncture studies, that would be the activation of point no 20 on the GallBladder meridian. Well known activation area in non-western medicine for cures to a number of ailments including tinnitus.

UkeleleEric@ellietheyeen please don't boost or share this. JUST because something apparently works for you is not a good reason for others to try it without proper medical advice.
Helga@ellietheyeen dangerous and foolish.
Klay@[email protected] I was told "never do this, it makes it worse", is there truth to that?
sus@ellietheyeen i wish it worked
