Symptoms
Earaches/Tinnitus (Ringing)/Itch
Non-vestibular dizziness and ringing in the ears can be associated with trigger points in the SCM and masseter.
Overview
Cervical-origin dizziness and somatic tinnitus are diagnoses of exclusion. After ruling out vestibular, neurological and otologic causes, palpation of the SCM, deep masseter and cervical extensors may reproduce dizziness or change tinnitus character, supporting a myofascial contributor.
