This has helped by post-viral meningitis tinnitus.

[Rowi]

I have all kinds of noises in my head (hissing, buzzing, beeping, a kind of cycling on the left side) plus pulsatile tinnitus when I lay down. I observed a lot, read a lot, and tried a lot of things to try and help this. Here is one exercise that helps:

You can follow this doctor so that you get the full range of his exercises, but I would go very slowly in the beginning.

From the posts I've read here and what my practitioners have said, I understand that sometimes the meninges gets out of place after meningitis. (One practitioner said that after it expands from the inflammation, it may contract later.) Also, if you already had some neck problems (tight muscles, cervical vertebrae issues), this will make recovery harder. I imagine that gently increasing the blood flow helps.

I've said this elsewhere, but I have also found that the following helps (I would not do this if you are recently sick): applying moist, warm heat, especially at night, to my neck, side of my head and shoulders (I use a washcloth, a hot water bottle with a damp towel or the shower--I would not use a heating pad); other neck exercises; massaging my scalp (but only the scalp, I avoid that tender spot just below the cranium in the center, where the spinal cord is); doing modified "rabbit pose" (I just put my forehead on the yoga mat; I do not push my chin to my chest); gentle stretching and walking; doing slow neck rolls while crossing my legs and stretching my hands straight to the floor (this gives you a greater stretch than regular neck rolls); putting my neck down and holding the weight of my hands on the back of my head to give it some gentle pressure; avoiding loud noises (especially amplified sound); using ear plugs; chiropractic; osteopathic-like work; cranio-sacral work. Taking magnesium. Getting a good night's sleep. Taking herbs to help me sleep.

Don't forget to breathe slowly while you do these things (and I wouldn't do all of them to start). I recommend incorporating one change per week to see if it gives results.

I'd be curious to see if this helps anyone.

I have all kinds of noises in my head too. Thank you for this, I like this doc..watched several of his videos but not this one. What kind of meningitis did you have & when? I had VM & it's been 14 months in bed..today it felt it was lifting a little, will see how tomorrow goes.

I had viral meningitis. It's 13 months now. I find that I have good days and bad. It's good not to push too hard.

This is a keeper! I can't do much until my left mastoid bone is removed, but both your suggestions and the doc's give me hope.

Just added: "Taking magnesium. Getting a good night's sleep. Taking herbs to help me sleep." I've said a lot of this elsewhere, but thought it would help to have it all in one place.

Hi Rowi,

I had the same problem years ago. I learned that some of the medication the doctor gave me for post meningitis caused the problem. I still suffer from 24 hour a day migraines but the noises have gone away. I am on a high morphine regime but it gives me quality of life. Check with your doctor about any medications you take. May HE Bless you and yours.

Thanks, but I don't take any medications...precisely because of possible side effects. (Of course I would if I had any life threatening situations.) Be well.

Same here..I do the Turmeric & it helps so much with inflammation. Also take suppliments including magnesium.

[Packard in reply to Keep-The-Faith]

Turmeric and Curcumin with bioperine is a super idea. I swear by it for a lot of problems.
