Tinnitus: Physiotherapy in Brno for Neck-Related Ringing
Ringing or buzzing in the ears that changes when you move your head, clench your jaw, or press on your neck? This type — somatosensory tinnitus — has a physical component that physiotherapy can address.
Tinnitus has many causes and must always be assessed first by an ENT specialist. But in a subgroup of people, the neck and jaw play a real role. When you can change the sound by moving your head or jaw, there's a good chance the source is a distorted signal from the neck — and that's exactly where physiotherapy can help.
When tinnitus is linked to the neck
Hearing information and signals from the neck and jaw muscles meet in the same area of the brainstem. When the neck is overloaded or stiff and the surrounding muscles are tense, they send distorted signals that the brain can mix with hearing — creating or amplifying the sensation of ringing. The key sign: the tinnitus changes with head movement, jaw clenching, or pressure on the neck.
Do neck exercises help tinnitus?
In the right subgroup, yes. According to studies, somatosensory tinnitus can be successfully treated with musculoskeletal physiotherapy targeting the neck and jaw, and adding a supervised exercise programme reduces both loudness and how much the tinnitus bothers people. This is not a universal cure — it works when the tinnitus genuinely relates to the neck, which is why assessment comes first.
How I treat neck-related tinnitus
First I confirm whether your tinnitus has a neck component. If it does, I combine releasing tension in the neck and jaw, restoring neck mobility, and targeted strengthening, plus advice on posture and habits. A useful feature of this type: within a few sessions you usually know whether physiotherapy is your path.

What patients say
After 10 years of knee pain, he solved the problem in a focused, practical way with almost immediate effect. Mr. Chalupa is the right person for the job — at the first visit he sets expectations and explains everything so the session is as effective as possible.
Filip Chalupa is a great physiotherapist — absolute top. I'm a professional athlete and I've been through the hands of a huge number of physiotherapists. I trust Filip and see him regularly.
I was scheduled for surgery on a damaged shoulder. Thanks to Filip I was eventually able to return to playing volleyball. He is thorough, looks for the root of the problem holistically, and respects the patient's physical limits.
I had been dealing with long-term back problems with many physiotherapists — mostly with only short-term effect. It was only with Mr. Chalupa that I achieved lasting, sustainable improvement.
Over the past 10 years I saw 5 physiotherapists. They always treated only the local area and helped only for a while. Mr. Chalupa looks for the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. By far the best physiotherapist I've visited.
I visited Filip with a shoulder injury that had been bothering me for a couple of years. In the first visit I got a clear diagnosis and a plan, and things finally started improving.
