In our experience, ear noises sometimes “disappear” as if by magic through training and during training. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. By changing the alignment and posture of the head and by tensing the muscles attached to the skull, the noises can be made to disappear. Since so much about tinnitus is unknown, unexplored, and unproven, let’s venture a hypothesis: The skull consists of 22 bones and joints. It is therefore very mobile. The outer ear is a sort of “attachment” made of cartilage, which is also very mobile. A dense network of nerves with the finest branches meanders along the sides of the head to all the sensory organs. If one of these nerves rubs, scrapes, or tenses against one of the many joints or muscles, the ear perceives this as a sound. If the nerve—to put it simply—is freed up or repositioned, the sound disappears.
Statistics show that most tinnitus symptoms appear between the ages of 40 and 50. This supports the theory that most cases of tinnitus are caused by poor posture, since this is the decade when most people experience the most significant loss of height. Stress at work and at home, all kinds of excessive demands, less free time, and less exercise contribute to the gradual deterioration of posture.
Conversely, those who regain their full height, align their bones properly, and thereby keep their deep muscles active can reverse tinnitus caused by poor posture through good posture.
Of course, this excludes tinnitus syndromes caused by medical conditions or traumatic injuries resulting in sudden hearing loss.
