A member asked:
Could tinnitis and crackling sound and pain in ear be caused by a forward head posture that led to masseter problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Tinnitus is a common disorder afflicting millons of people worldwide and i doubt that head position plays a role in its development. Your ear specialist is best to advise you, however.

Hi doctors! I had what I believe you said was tinnitus--sound of childs squeeze toy inside my right ear. The noise has subsided. I had an MRI of the skull base and brain--would that MRI show an acoustic neuroma if I had one? What else causes tinnitus?
