“…4 Otological symptoms are frequent in individuals with TMD, and the most commonly cited in the literature are tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, vertigo, earache and a sensation of ear fullness. 1,[5][6][7] Some theories state that hyperactivity of the masticatory muscles generates problems in the stomatognathic system and, due to the anatomical proximity, the inner ears can be affected. 2,8 Parafunctional habits are defined as any nonfunctional neuromuscular activity of the stomatognathic system resulting from the repetition of an action that is considered pleasant by the individual exercising it.…”

Objective: to verify the relationship between otological symptoms and parafunctional habits in individuals with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Methods: evaluations were based on the clinical records of 768 patients treated at a temporomandibular joint diagnostic center from 2010 to 2016. The inclusion criteria were completely filled out charts of adult patients (> 18 years of age) and the final sample comprised 516 clinical records. The presence/absence of parafunctional habits and otological symptoms (tinnitus, hearing impairment, dizziness, the sensation of plugged ears and imbalance) was recorded. Results: statistically significant associations were found between otological symptoms and both sex and the presence of parafunctional habits, as otological symptoms were more prevalent among women and individuals with at least one parafunctional habit. Conclusion: in the present sample, otological symptoms were positively associated with parafunctional habits in individuals with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

“…Additionally, the presence of hyperacusis, objectified using the Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ) (Khalfa et al, 2002), was included, as the presence of hyperacusis, in addition to tinnitus, might negatively influence the outcome after treatment. Hyperacusis and tinnitus complaints are highly intertwined, and patients whose tinnitus complaints improve might not always notice this improvement when their hyperacusis remains unchanged (Kusdra et al, 2018).…”

Prognostic Indicators for Positive Treatment Outcome After Multidisciplinary Orofacial Treatment in Patients With Somatosensory Tinnitus

et al. 2020

Prognostic Indicators for Orofacial Treatment model comprising "shorter duration of tinnitus" and "higher initial score on the somatic subscale of the TQ" correctly predicts the clinically relevant decrease in TQ score after treatment in 68.5%. A second multivariate model comprising "female gender," "younger age," and "shorter duration of the tinnitus" correctly predicts a clinically significant decrease on TFI after follow-up in 68.1%. Conclusion: We were able to identify various prognostic indicators. "Younger female patients" with a "shorter duration of tinnitus" and a "higher initial score on the TQ somatic subscale" appear to have the best prognosis after multimodal orofacial therapy.

“…1 The TMJ aids Eustachian tube opening during its various movements, including yawning, chewing, biting, and opening and closing of the mouth. [2][3][4] The causes of TMJD are multifactorial and include excessive masticatory muscle activity, harmful habits, TMJ trauma, degenerative disorders, and psychosocial factors. 5,6 TMJ pain may also result from a combination of genetics, clenching or grinding of the teeth (bruxism), arthritis, autoimmune diseases, dental surgery, and infections.…”

Objective To determine the prevalence, sociodemographic features, and clinical presentation of temporomandibular joint disorder in otorhinolaryngological practice. Methods This prospective hospital-based study involved patients diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorder in our institution’s ear, nose, and throat department. Data for this study were obtained from the patients using pretested interviewer-assisted questionnaires. Results The prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorder in this study was 1.3%. The study population included 17 (26.2%) male patients with a male:female ratio of 1.0:2.8. Joint disorder accounted for 75.4% of all disorders, while both mastication muscle and joint disorder accounted for 21.5%. A majority of the patients (47.7%) presented between weeks 1 and 13 of the illness. Unilateral temporomandibular joint disorder accounted for 98.5% of all disorders. The main otologic clinical features were earache and a dull tympanic membrane in 100% and 35.4% of patients, respectively. Middle ear assessment revealed type A in 73.8% of patients and type B in 20.0% according to Jerger’s classification system of tympanometry. Most patients (81.5%) were referred by their family physician. All patients had undergone prehospital treatment prior to presentation. Conclusion Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common presentation in medical practice. Common clinical features include ear, joint, and mastication muscle disorders.

Relationship between Otological Symptoms and TMD

Abstract: These data support the correlation between temporomandibular disorders and otological symptoms, even without being caused directly by the ear.
