A member asked:

Could body building/gym sports cause tinnitus if you lift to heavy in your training?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There is an association between tinnitus and facial muscle spasm. Clenching and grinding your teeth when you lift with tension in your face and jaws can make it worse. Be aware of tension in your face and avoid clenching and grinding. Stay away from gum chewing for a while.
