Abstract: ObjectiveDetermine in a cohort of patients with normal hearing and chronic tinnitus if self-reported history for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and a positive modulation of tinnitus in the TMJ region could be suggestive of an underlying TMJ disorder.Patients and methodsThe study included 226 patients presenting to the Head and Neck Service of our University Hospital. Following audiological and somatic tinnitus evaluation, patients were divided into two groups. The study group (n = 134) included subj… Show more

“…This effect is analogous to the generation of phantom sensations after limb amputation. Another possible explanation is the effect of altered somatosensory input on auditory centre activity [20], which also fits with the observation that between 65.3% and 83.3% of patients can modulate their tinnitus by manipulations of the jaw, movements of the eyes, or pressure applied to the head and neck region involving TMJ [18]. It seems that modulation is increased in patients with somatic tinnitus, but some of the patients without an underlying somatic disorder are also able to modulate their tinnitus.…”

“…It seems that modulation is increased in patients with somatic tinnitus, but some of the patients without an underlying somatic disorder are also able to modulate their tinnitus. Therefore, capability of tinnitus modulation cannot be used as a sole indicator for the somatic origin of tinnitus [18]. It seems also that any source of deep pain in the head and neck region can be involved in the development of tinnitus, such as dental pulpalgia [25].…”

“…Our review shows a prevalence of tinnitus of 26.3% in PMs in the studies that investigated the symptom; it was almost equally distributed between CL and PR PMs. Tinnitus may follow audiological, somatic, or psychological conditions [ 13 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 ]; risk factors for tinnitus include HL and increasing age [ 15 , 16 , 81 ]. The elevate prevalence of HL found in PMs can explain the presence of tinnitus in these patients; however, there was no higher prevalence of tinnitus among PR PMs compared to CL PRs.…”

“…performed to evaluate the presence somatic tinnitus [18][19][20][21][22] ; all maneuvers on the temporomandibular joint and head and neck did not induce a modulation of tinnitus pitch or loudness, thus excluding a somatosensory origin of tinnitus.…”
