Episode Description

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves dives into the surprising connection between tinnitus (ear ringing) and the neck. Many people are told their tinnitus is purely an ear problem — but for some, the root cause is actually mechanical and related to the upper cervical spine—the neck.

You’ll learn:

  • How to identify if your tinnitus changes when you move your neck or jaw
  • The difference between ear-based tinnitus and somatic tinnitus
  • Why muscle tension, joint stiffness, or previous whiplash injuries can influence ear ringing
  • How posture and neck mobility affect the nerves that connect to the ear
  • Simple steps you can take to reduce ringing naturally


If your tinnitus seems to come and go — or changes when you move — this episode will help you understand why and what you can do about it.
