Tinnitus – Symptoms And Causes

Otolaryngology Mia Garnsey

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the lower jaw to the skull in front of the ears. Damage to the cartilage or ligaments in this joint may cause tinnitus because of its proximity to the ears. [11] It shares some nerves and ligaments with the middle ear.

Tinnitus caused by TMJ disorder will usually disappear once the disorder has been addressed. Other common symptoms of TMJ disorder are jaw pain, limited range of motion in the jaw, and popping sounds when eating.

Conclusion

Tinnitus usually goes away when the underlying cause is treated. If you have this problem, you should see your doctor for a diagnosis. In cases where the underlying cause is untreatable, your physician may show you ways to manage the condition.
