A bit off-topic, but there are indications that tinnitus may be relieved by treatment of myofascial trigger points in the jaw muscles (e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17956784).

I have mild tinnitus and my self-experiments have been inconclusive - in some instances kneading my masseter and the other, minor, jaw muscles has seemed to give relief, but nothing obvious.

Incidentally, I also sometimes experience another form of "tinnitus" (not sure what to call it) that manifests itself as a swooshing sound when I move my eyeballs quickly. It's most noticeable if I'm tired or under the weather in some form. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similiar?
