Chronic pain and tinnitus may share a common source

For anyone here that suffers from tinnitus, a relief method was posted on Reddit recently that is apparently fairly successful: https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/3l3uri/slug/cv3474n

what. the. fuck. I'm without words. I used to have tinnitus when I was a kids, but as far as I know, don't now. But my mom has Meniere's disease and that causes hearing loss and tinnitus so I was curious. I tried it myself and it is absolutely crazy. AFAICT, I've had a very low hum in my ears (usually thought of tinnitus as being high pitched) for a long , long time because after I do this, I can hear silence. it is fucking crazy.

eager to tell my mom. thank you!

Did anyone try the "deep tissue massages" like one commenter on that thread suggested?

Well I tried, and I didn't get a magical result like some of these guys @reddit, but it perhaps IS a bit better... I'll persevere...

I owe you 10k worth of HN 'gold' :-)
